WARNING: One-sided LotusXPhantom, PhantomXAria
It can get severely confusing, but italics are thoughts, subconscious, whatever you want to call it. The bold is for stressing, concentrating, whatever.
The broken punctuation are there on purpose, so don't come running to me like "OHH YOU MISSED A FULL STOP HERE" "YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE MADE A NEW PARAGRAPH HERE" "NOOO WHY DID YOU BREAK THE SENTENCE" "WHY IS THE SENTENCE DISJOINTED"
IT'S ON PURPOSE, PEOPLE.
Lotus had never meant to kill her. He just wanted to severely injure her, maybe send her into a coma - but not kill her. As he stared into the purple-eyed blond in front of him, he only saw vast emptiness and hurt.
What was he meant to do? Was he meant to just sit around and disobey a direct order from the Black Mage himself? Only that made him into a general, he got promoted right after the Empress' death.
I didn't want to kill.
"Go ahead." His voice was broken, a monotone, and Lotus stared at him, unable to comprehend what Phantom had just said. The blond repeated it. "Go ahead. Kill me like you killed her."
Lotus looked down, his long fringe covering both his eyes as he raised his weapon. Swiftly, he plunged it directly into the thief's heart. The blood spattered everywhere, covering the cave floor as it spilled out in a pool.
I didn't want the blood on me. I didn't want to suffer this pain for eternity. It's been three hundred years - how much longer must I wait?
"I never meant to kill her," Lotus whispered, as the purple eyes of his long-time enemy faded with gratitude. He drew the thief into a gentle embrace, waiting until the silent thudding of Phantom's heart stopped, even though the black-and-gold clothes of his were stained bright red against the gold. He didn't care.
Blood can be washed away. It doesn't matter.
I'm tattered, and broken, and torn - a scrap of cloth, a shard of glass, a piece of paper. I can't be fixed back - not with thread, not with glue.
I can only be fixed by you.
And I remain
He let him go. He did what he had to do. He sent the thief off with an embrace.
forever
doubtful
Why did he feel so empty?
But what about me
"They're back together again. I don't need to worry anymore."
Help me
He collapsed on his knees, tears welling up in his eyes as he buried his face into his blood-covered hands.
Don't I mean anything
to
you?
The empty, aching, thumping of his heart
It was as if it was broken in two
and his long, broken sobs
The tears running down his face
was the only thing that filled the air other than silence.
I can live forever without living at all.
Forgive me for all the sins I have
Forgive me for all the crimes
Forgive me for the deadly weapon
That ended your lover's time

A/N) First time shipping a person that's playable and a person that is an NPC. It's also my first time on poetry. It's hard. Is poetry even allowed on ? o_o Anywho, hope you have enjoyed, and I request you send me some prompts.
Also, I spammed italics and the horizontal line tool. Whups. XD
