Everyone I've Loved
Blood and belief are separate things.
Images of perfection,
A nice big throne
And your pretty little tiara,
Is ceremony.
/
I am here to serve.
I am here to serve and protect.
To lead.
This is how I have been taught,
From the beginning.
/
So is this the moral conscience,
My forefathers felt?
This crucified grace?
Was this made for me out of sheer fate,
Or luck? Coincidence?
As I cry my eyes every night,
No more evil. Enough.
I cry for company, and I cry
"Fuck monarchy,
Forget my fires"
/
And now I'm here. Complete silence.
My family are gone. My subjects,
mere imagination, here.
No more chants.
"Hail the princess"
"Flame's lineage"
"The cursed one"
"Magic"
"Liar"
"Loser"
/
I don't need your help.
You've no wounds to show,
Or bridges to burn.
I've learnt not to cry now.
So what is it you think?
She is suffering?
She exists within her shadow.
Everyone I've loved,
Always seems to leave in the end.
And there we have it. Based on Blaze's thoughts at the beginning of her campaign in Sonic Rush, having just met Cream. I wanted to capture the image of a rebellious princess who is reluctant to follow the tradition of monarchy, all the while craving a true friend...or something like that. Hope you liked it!
