A Shadow's Promise
Feet pounding against cold metal,
Will we survive? Only time will tell.
Grasping your fragile arm in my hand.
Reverberating screams and yells of man.
Fast breathing, terrible notions,
Fear, pain, in our emotions.
We must leave, my dear,
For that evil power is here.
Here to take you away from me,
Here to blow out the candle that I see.
Say good-bye my friend,
Here shall our presence end.
Sealing me behind the glass,
Is what I remember in my past.
Your final words still echo in my heart,
Wanting to prevent our depart.
We talked, we promise,
But I can't take this dismiss.
Calling your name from my prison,
Thinking, "This isn't yours, it's my sin."
I hope, I pray for your return,
But this is all just pointless yearn.
I loved you my dear,
You used to take away my worries, and fear.
Crying, on a full moon's night,
Wanting to see my only light.
I will always be a project, a tool,
But you never took me for a fool.
You loved me, I loved you,
But as I watched, there was nothing I could do.
You sacrificed the only think you had,
For what, a stupid hedgehog that's gone bad?
A stupid decision, I should've been in your place.
But I just watched, until I was shot out in space.
Stupid Shadow! You're such a freak!
You let her die! You were weak!
Too afraid, too amazed,
I just sat there, dazed.
Why, why didn't I try?
For together, we would've died.
But now, I deal with the pain,
The pain, the agony, it drove me insane!
Is this what you wanted, my sweet?
An insane hedgehog that is weak?
I'm sorry, but your decision was wrong,
For all I feel is long.
But you spoke to me before I was dismissed,
Was there something I missed?
You told me to allow them to be happy,
But what happy? Is what I don't see.
I promised you,
There is still something I must do.
I shall fulfill this deed, no matter how long,
Then I shall go where I belong.
With you, forever, Maria…
