My Living Legacy
I see blue eyes peering down at me.
Eyes filled with poison and shattered dreams.
Why is he crying?
I can feel it…I'm dying.
Oh… so he's crying for me.
Why does this have to be?
I haven't saved the world.
I haven't saved him.
I've failed.
I'm not a hero.
But then I look in those blue eyes,
And see…that yes, I am.
I am a hero.
I'm his hero.
" Zack…" He whispers my name,
But I can hardly hear him.
I'm dying.
I'm dying and there is nothing I can do.
I can't stop it and that scares me.
I don't want to leave this world.
I must protect those poison-filled, blue eyes.
I must protect him.
" You're the proof that I once lived. " I tell him.
You're my living legacy.
Inspired by the tale of Zack Fair from Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core.
