Tidus' Promise
-
Above the jagged, frosted peaks,
Beyond the colitis wide.
Before the dancing embers,
You there firmly at my side.
-
The leering silence we held tight,
Sins plastered on each face.
We crossed the odds together,
Put up by will, power, and race.
-
The secrets we didn't lose,
Memories we didn't just let go.
The words revealed to me that day,
Because how was I to know?
-
I said I'd take you to the place,
Where you could touch the stars.
Beyond the influence of all others,
And you could be just who you are.
-
A friendly place that never sleeps,
And where dreams rise with the dawn.
Where you could be safe there with me,
Your duties then all gone.
-
But memories are soon to fade,
And me, just as well.
To purify the world of its disgrace,
And the story I wish to tell.
-
I don't know where it will take me,
If I'll reach where memories await.
For painful memoirs that just won't go,
And never will abate.
-
I'd rather see this world perish,
Then leave you on your own.
I'd rather see your smiling face,
Then head right back home.
-
But it is then that I sigh,
As I stand to watch you all.
I pass you by with just a touch,
Before the final call.
-
I rise on up to the edge now,
To take one glance around.
To confirm all I've been told again,
The truth I finally found.
-
No, there's nothing left,
All because of him.
The man I hated so very much,
And secretly wished to see again.
-
I prayed that he'd someday leave,
And would just never come on back.
But mother was persistent,
And rode on the same track.
-
Anger boiled up inside,
The dreams that wouldn't go away.
And now all I feel is loss,
For here comes the final day.
-
Its approach is so very near,
And I fear the answer's lost.
To free us from our hateful sin,
The summoner's life, it will cost.
-
I gaze back now at what I want,
And all that seems right to me.
It is now that I decide for once and all,
I'll be the dream she'll never see.
-
I'll stand beside her through the bad,
And lift her heart with glee.
I'll share each and every emotion,
Be the hope she'll never see.
-
I'll give her all of who I am,
Till she finds that I am gone.
I'll silently answer all her calls,
And watch her watch the dawn.
-
Yes, a new day will come again,
And she'll stand tall and proud.
For the love that we both shared,
And the life were never allowed.
