The poem is actually called "The friend, the lover, the loved, and the dark one" but that couldn't fit in the title.
*Legend of Darkstalker spoilers*
Father and daughter, leaving the kingdom of night,
To find a new life from their old life.
Brother and friends, finding the pair leaving,
To get rid of the curse upon one.
A grin on his face, and he lifts his talon,
Spelling out the words of doom.
He orders his father, his own father, to release the curse,
Then leads him upon the dreaded stage,
Voicing out the words of doom.
Against his will, against his thought, the father is forced to comply,
Fear in his eyes, and with it, the last of his own sanity.
The talons of his doom, his own treacherous talons, spilling his life-blood onto the dreaded stage,
And with it, the last of his son's own sanity.
The deed done, and the sun low, the dark one himself walked away,
Gone was his sanity.
The friends knew, the friends knew of the deed,
And gone was his sanity.
Under the light of the three moons, the friends came upon a decision
To rid the one with no soul.
The ones with, created a plan, a clever plan,
To rid the one with no soul.
The friend left, to save the loved, and the lover set out,
To carry out the plan to save the light.
The lover sat with the dark one, and knew what she had to do,
To carry out the plan to save the light.
A single tear from the lover, then the bracelet of doom slipped on,
And then the dark one knew.
Countless futures, countless mistakes, countless fates,
And then the dark one knew.
The son closed his eyes, finding the tables turned,
And let the eternal sleep take him.
The son, the dark one, felt the magic take over,
And let the eternal sleep take him.
The lover looked at the dark one, and with that, she left.
The friend found the loved, and the lover lost the son.
That one last look, that one last glance at the son,
Left the lover with only one question,
One burning question.
Did she do the right thing?
