Bitter Irony

Below they scream
Or is it in my mind
I hear
Those I failed?

He would call this
Bitter irony
Ah, my friend,
The bitterness is in failing you

The irony, though...
You're right on target
I was a Buu once
I once destroyed and killed

(Though never in this magnitude)
Then, you.
You changed my heart, made us
Realize I even had one

I swore, that day
I'd protect and save you
There's your irony, friend;
Lately, you've been saving me

Or, perhaps you always have
You saved me when I was beyond
Saving, you gave me a purpose,
A treasure; friendship

And hell...
You've made me old and soft
Made me care, love, repent,
You've become so important

This stupid planet has...
I've failed you...
Both of you...
The dearest things to me...

So ironic, so bitter,
Once, I vowed to destroy
And now?
I despair over just that
