Whew I haven't done poetry for a while. This may not be the best poem but I like it. It's a poem about my favorite swordsman in Tales of Symphonia. If you haven't beaten or gotten far in the game (like to disc 2) I suggest you don't read this cause it contains spoilers.

Disclaimer: I don't own Tales of Symphonia.

To One and To Another

To one he's a trusted friend.

He's a guardian, a protector.

Yet a Sensei in the process

He watches your back, one who tells the truth.

Yet he keeps to himself as if he hides the real truth

To another he's a father,

He's someone to look up to,

Yet he hides in shadows, hiding the truth.

He watches and aids from a distance,

Avoiding his son, to hide his doubts.

To keep him safe from harm.

And finally to some he's a traitor.

He was trusted, and a guide to all,

Yet in the end he turns his back on his friends.

What do they think of him?

To them he's just a jerk and a traitor.

But what does he think of himself?

He's a mercenary,

One who searches for money.

He's an angel of Cruxis

One who searches for truth and peace.

He's a legendary companion of a hero,

One who's seen all.

He's a wanderer, a murderer, a father and a skilled swordsman.

He's Kratos Aurion.

A say from the writer: er…how was it? I know it didn't rhyme or anything but I still think it came out nicely. R&R please Yami Veedragon
