So apparently there is a Tales of Symphonia Drama CD that I mistook for the soundtrack and downloaded. It's voice acting of Tales of Symphonia. The segment called Those Which I Must Protect is Yuan and Kratos talking, mentioning the fight in which Kratos kills Anna, complete with Kratos's shouting, Lloyd crying, and Anna screaming. It's probably the most horrifically depressing thing I have ever heard. But, it inspired this poem.
To Anna…From Kratos.
Disclaimer: I own nothing
I want to scream
I feel the sound building in my throat
The tears welling in my eyes
The hole ripping through my heart
Your eyes
Your lovely brown, loving eyes
Are fading into red
You soft, pale skin
That was joy to my touch
Is stretching, twisting, growing
Green as acid
Burning into my retinas
Scorching my bones with despair
The cursed orb gleams mockingly
In the lightning
Thunder claps, but it can not
Drown out your scream of pain
Turned to inhuman roars
By the tragic hand of fate
He is crying
Our boy is crying
But you can not comfort him
You try to hurt him
And now I know…
I see what must be done
And because my hands are bloodied
Because these wings are flapping
Because I turned a blind eye
I must be the one to do it
I speak your name
It tears my soul
Shreds my heart
Sears my throat
Burns my lips
Like your kiss
But this is no pleasant fire of heaven
But the flames of hell itself
A howl of unbearable agony
That will haunt my dreams
My nightmares
My every waking moment
Because I can not sleep
I must exist without your voice
Anna…
I feel the wind as it races by
I hear the squelch of mud under my feet
As my cursed powers carry me forward
Too fast…
It's all too fast!
Too much…
The bile rises in my throat
But I can't stop
Lloyd is crying
Why must he cry?
His tears are all too much
Goddess if your there
Please make my son stop crying
He doesn't stop
You don't stop
ANNA!
The scream explodes from my throat
As everything in my chest exploded
The pain too much to bear
The solution more than I can give
But I hear your voce
Your musical voice
You must destroy meForgive me, my love...
The sword cleaves the air in two
I watch as though from another world
As the sharp edge sinks into
Green flesh
I see it through another's eyes
But I feel it in my bones
The horrible scrape of metal on bone
Sending fire running through my hand
Blood scented air in my nostrils
Running down my throat
Choking the air from my lungs
I yank the blade free
You're screaming
Lloyd is crying
Goddess make it stop!
The sword won't stop
Wielded not by me
But by and angel of death
It's heavy…so heavy
As it severs your flesh again and again
The rainwater running red
As you fall in my arms
Your eyes brown
Your skin…red
Your breathing faded
Your soul gone
I scream
A scream that rises above the rain
Above the clouds
Above the stars
My throat bleeds
Really bleeds
As ask of it more than it can take
I hear the armor
They've come for your blood
But it's already spilled
I failed to protect you
Lloyd is crying
Lloyd…my only hope
I face them, sword steady in my hand.
I will not fail him…
I race forward
…
What happened next, is but shadow
A shadow pierced by a scream I know
And when the darkness lifts
You are gone
Lloyd isn't crying…
The blood runs ankle deep
As I stumble to the edge
Below are corpses of my foes
And monster
Demons of hell devouring their kin
…Why has Lloyd stopped crying?
I'm on my knees
Memories of you and him
Playing a cruel montage in my head
I clutch my aching skull
Willing it to be a dream
I scream again
Tears that had long since evaporated
Flooding down my face
The hole deep inside me
Alight with flames of torture
Every emotion you brought back to me
Tearing through my veins
Before leaving me forever
Hate forms a blanket of ice
Around the heart you found in me
Leaving me cold and alone in the rain
A future burned to blackened ask
Like a nightmare that just won't end
A dream desecrated
But then I remember…
I cannot sleep.
