Dulled Hyperion
Emerald pools once burning with hatred
Now tightly shut
Loose strands of honey-colored hair
Rest on your forehead
Where your scar lies
The souvenir of your past
Your dark past
You tried to reach the stars
Blinded by your dreams
Trying to prove your abilities
To Squall
To Rinoa
To the Garden
To all
But you didn't have to
I knew you were gifted long before
Still you continued your onslaught
The taste of vengeance
Fuel to your bloodthirsty soul
Your tainted hands and blunted gunblade
Proof of your power and might
You were caught in your own trap
Drowning slowly towards failure
Without you knowing it
Her lies, covering up the truth
Motivating you to go on as her knight
Nobly defending her 'til the very end
It was your romantic dream after all
Your hunger for power and misled dreams
Leading to your demise
Leading you to where you are now
Peacefully lying
Not a trace of thy haunted past visible
Except for that one scar
The scar that started it all
Yet it doesn't matter anymore
The past, the present, the future
Nothing matters anymore
Crystals flow endlessly from my eyes
An excruciating pain, my heart experiences
My soul, mourning over a great loss
Yet I'm happy for you
Tranquility you'll attain at last
In the other world
Where the past may never haunt you
Where dreams come true
The world beyond ours
Rest in peace
My favorite student
I'm sure we'll meet again soon
And perhaps, we can start all over again
And sharpen your dulled Hyperion
Together.
