~Princess, Knight, Angel~

KAIRI:

It was all fine in the beginning

We were all home and everyone was happy

Me and Sora together

Hearts, Sparkles, and Happiness

And I never realized it was all a lie

I would say "I love you"

He would always answer "Me too."

He never said the words

Maybe that's when I should have realized

I feel so stupid for not knowing

Letting him pretend, making me happy while watching Riku be misused

At the time I didn't want to see it

All the bruises Riku received

I wanted a fairy tale ending, a child's dream

How could I not see?

SORA:

I lay in bed next to her wishing for him.

I don't know if I can do this much longer.

I want her to be happy but it's not true,

This is a lie created by everyone around me.

He's my angel, weather in darkness or light.

He holds my heart in his gentle hands.

Doesn't see how much it kills me to see his hurt, wounded, marine, eyes.

All I want is to hold him tightly,

Never let him out of my sight.

But she's the princess and everyone even she expects this,

For me to be her knight in shining armor.

But was I really meant for this?

For her and not for him?

I don't think I can.

SORA:

On the island no-one but me and him,

He looks so broken I want to cry.

Black and blue bruises mere his porcelain skin

And I know then she's not mine it's always been him.

I know as I wrap my arms around him,

stroking his soft, silver, locks of hair, this can be fixed.

He won't be abused again

And even as I hear her footsteps,

I tell him while holding him gently

"Riku I love you." And I kiss his bruised cheek

Knowing that both her and I know

This is right, I'm not her knight.

Someday she'll find her knight

But for once we both know it's not me.
