Goddess Bird
A/N. This is Kureno to Akito. Warning- SPOILERS for Vol. 12 of the manga, regarding Akito.
Akito, god-
Or is that goddess?
Male spirit, female body-
Is it any wonder you're so confused?
Day in, day out, you pretend to be a man
Or is that boy?
You're not yet out of your teens, though you act it-
Sometimes.
Sometimes, you are mature
Others a spoiled brat;
An impetuous child.
And yet others, a little bird
Trapped in a massive cage.
Sing, little bird
Sing, my Akito
For I am also such a bird
And can teach you how to fly.
Goddess Bird, fighting
Against your imminent demise.
To die before you truly live-
What fate is that?
Goddess Bird, speak to me
Tell me what I know is true.
Do you love me, Goddess Bird?
For I love you.
