A/N: If it isn't obvious, he's married to Mai, but is in love with Katara. Zuko, Katara, and Mai (c) Mike and Bryan
The war is over
The world is at peace
I am the ruler of a powerful nation
My wife is beautiful
But I do not love her
We have three children, all who are perfect in their own special ways
All can bend fire, and for good
Our daughter is as skilled as her mother
Our sons are as skilled as me, their father
But I am far from happy
My mother is still missing
I don't even know if she's dead or alive
It's my fault she's gone
My younger sister is in an asylum
Our father guided her along the path of insanity
My father is in prison
His father crafted him into a monster
The love of my life, the woman I sacrificed mine for
Is in love with someone else
She's married with kids of her own
Although I can tell she regrets fathering his children
Because none can bend her element
I love her, and yet the only feeling she has of me is friendship
You'd think that I'd proven my love for her by nearly dying for her
But it wasn't enough
The only thing it did was prove that I had changed
I had changed into the man who would die for those he once chased
I stare out at the sunset, it's warmth kissing my pale skin
It's clawing my scar, and at times it hurts
But inside I feel nothing
No real pain, nor real love
Perhaps that's all my hearts been reduced to
Nothing
