Nothing: Published: 12-03-04
Disclaimer: I own nothing - no pun intended.
This is what comes of rereading the sad parts of the Legends over again and listening to sad music. Hope you like.
This poem is different from the others, for the reason that it doesn't rhyme (well, sometimes, but on a general, no) but i do think it has a nice, if somewhat unpredictable, rhythm.
Nothing.
Nothing
Can erase what evil you have done.
Nothing
Can erase what torture you have said.
Nothing
Can stop you now, my brother.
Nothing
Can keep the dark waters from closing over your head
Nothing
Will stop you now, brother.
Except me
Nothing
Will ever be the same between us
Nothing
Can re-string the broken strands
Of brotherhood that dangle, broken, burned,between us now
Nothing
Can lend you acceptance.
Nothing
Can offer you repentance.
Nothing
Can give you excape form the dark paths you walk, shadowed by Nuitari's dark light
Not even
The holyglow reflecting in Crysania's tears
Nothing
Can stop you from leaving her alone, in her Abyss
Except me.
No one
Can trust you now, not after what you have done
No one
Can comfort you now, not after what you have tried to do
No one
Will ever trust you
Or come to your defense.
Except me.
Fate, my brother, held us together
Fate has torn us apart
Now Fate has nothing to do with it.
You and I are alone, Raistlin
Alone to only remember the forgotten.
My hand upon your arm
My memories in your head
The innocent Little One whom you cared for
The Holy cleric which I now hold in my arms, breathing what is meant to be her last
You now see the light, through these and more
Now, truly you stand alone
Or as alone as you ever where
With me,
if only in childish memory,
Here to protect you.
