Sora found a mermaid washed aground,
Fast alseep, not a sound.
Even as young as she was, they started to woo.
Truth is, I wanted her, too.
Deep cerulean eyes and a flowing scarlet mane,
Woven together with a beautiful name.
I was filled with happiness when she stayed,
Always on the island on which we played.
She was innocent, unaware,
Of everyone's longing stare.
Except one did not stare, did not long,
Of course I thought him in the wrong.
Yet, the green-eyed monster did appear,
For their shared ignorance brought them near.
As we grew,
He and she were still new,
New to this gift from above,
A little word called love.
In my anger, I felt a desire,
To show her my inner fire.
I called him to fight,
Grinning, he showed his might.
He thought it was a game,
But it really was a way for me to tell her my name.
Yet every time I claimed victory,
Nothing changed between her and me.
So when I found my chance for power,
To make my opponent forever cower,
I took it, and learned,
That she was worth much more to be earned.
She was a princess, and I vowed to be her knight.
But nothing I did was right.
I yearned to break the evil spell,
But I might as well have gone to Hell.
She became more and more of a lifeless doll,
And my honor did fall.
I became her killer-to-be,
A reason for her to fear me.
But then he offered her something I could not give:
Another chance to live.
As much as the hero he was to her,
I was a creator of death and disease I could not cure.
She is his bride now,
About to make her vow.
I hide my tears as he sets her upon the back of the horse,
Ready to ride their life's course.
There is nothing there for me.
So honor me this one wish, my sweet, sweet Kairi,
Hold tight to your happiness in your life,
For it will make it more bearable to know you are Sora's wife.
