The Lover
She watched him closely for two years
She watched from behind her makeup mirror as he flirted in the courtyard
She watched him go on his quest, and
She watched him come back, defeated.
She watched him pass on the shoes to the new boy
She watched him change,
She watched him leave.
She watched other things, too.
She watched how everyone ignored her cabin
She watched how she was left out of capture the flags, and the strategy meetings.
He watched her, though
And she watched him back
The blacksmith with the voice like a cold stream on rocks.
She watched him sail off to destroy the ship of her first love
The ship of the man she was working for
She watched as the younger boy sailed back, alone
She watched the pity in every set of eyes that swiveled towards her.
She watched as everything descended into madness
She watched as Manhattan was saved, then lost, then saved again.
But when her time came
Her time to make a difference
To act,
Not to watch,
When that time came,
Everyone else watched her
Riding into battle on the pegasus
Her blue eyes gleaming from behind the stolen armor.
And later
She watched from Elysium
With her second, true love
As her friends won the war.
