I see the hurt
I see the lies
I see her pain
I see her cry
She wants him back
She wants him home
She wants him here
She wants him gone
"Meloetta," he'd say
"Don't worry about it,
I promise it'll all be okay."
"Keldeo," she'd reply
"Why should I believe
Such a far-fetched lie?"
"You don't believe," he would respond
"You keep on hoping,
You smile and nod."
"But hope is the same," she would shoot back
"You think all the best
Then fear will attack."
"My dear," he would state
"Belief's from the mind
But hope's home is great."
"And where," she retorted
"Would that place lie
Without being caught and thwarted?"
"The best place," he'd often claim
"It lies in your heart
Near a beautiful name."
"Well now," she would mutter
"What name is it
That the heart will utter?"
"Why," he'd decree
"Your heart spells out
The name of thee!"
"And," she would add
"It holds a place for you;
For that alone I am glad."
"Good," he would wink
"Now I'll venture out
And return in a blink."
He didn't come back
He didn't return
He didn't blink
He didn't feel her concern
The lie of a lifetime
Was told on that night
He'd said it was fine
And he'd be all right
The hunters came,
Fought like no tomorrow
They don't know of her grief
They don't see her sorrow
Only I
One who died long ago
Can see her pain
Can view her woe
She misses her love
Misses him everyday
She wonders how
It ended up this way
But I, lowly Cubone
Shall watch over this beauty
As Keldeo had
For it is my duty
This widow, this maid
Seems so forlorn
But I will lift her up
Get her through each morn
