Notes: Last bit of Seiken Densetsu III work for now- a poem regarding Carlie/Charlotte's outlook on things involving Heath. The poem's a bit morose- and reads more like lyrics- but even a little sugar cube like Carlie was bound to have her sadder moments when thinking on events.
Spoilers for anything involving Heath in this.

My Favorite

You were always there for me,
No one ever thought you'd go.
Carlie's favorite Heath you'd always be,
How this could have happened I don't know...

I'm standing here in your room,
Grown dusty and staying empty-
The sun sets and let's in night's gloom,
And still no Heath that I can see.

They say you're gone,
They say you're lost,
Taken by Darkness,
Taken by Death.

I know you must still be there,
I know you can't be lost!
It isn't, it wouldn't be fair-
I'll find you at any cost!

But no one warned me,
No one ever said...
Just what that cost would be...
Why are you dead...?

I know you're gone,
I know you're lost,
Taken by Darkness,
Taken by Death...

Goddess, it isn't right-
Please don't let this be!
It's not his fault he lost this fight,
It's not fair, can't you see?

I cry though it's over at last,
This fight's cost us all too much,
I just can't let it run past,
If this is winning, why does it hurt so much?

Suddenly you're here with me,
Suddenly you're smiling once again,
Returned by the Goddess,
Returned by Her kindness...

I can't speak as you smile down,
It's something almost past belief...
And as that kind smile becomes a worried frown...
I throw my arms about you, laughing and crying in relief...

For you will always be Carlie's Favorite Heath!
