Snap here. I've decided to put all poems and song lyrics into one place, so that I can keep track of them all better.
This poem below was written after I finished the manga Crimson Shell by Mochizuki Jun. It expresses the feelings I had after reading it. Yeah. So it probably has spoilers.
CHESSMASTER
I am of the Black Roses,
alone but engaged in a never ending war
She is of the Red Roses,
a high queen
among loyal warriors
We are alike
in some ways
and polar opposites in others
I am of the Black Roses,
with goals that are never clear
She is of the Red Roses,
with childlike innocence yet strong of heart
We are creations
born of the same ideals
yet different intentions
I am of the Black Roses,
a schemer
She is of the Red Roses,
a fighter
We are one
two alternate faces
of the same flower
I am of the Black Roses,
Jetrose
She is of the Red Roses,
Scarletrose
It is ironic
she is light yet black
and
I am dark yet white
She is of the Red Roses,
a girl with a sheltered life
but who is trying to be free
She is of the Red Roses,
archenemy
I am of the Black Roses,
the puppeteer
a skilled ventriloquist
She is Claudia
the Rose Witch
and
I am her rival
nemesis
twin
I am Zion Liddell
and even now
I control the game
