Setsuna's Shadows

by Mistress Nyda

This is a short Setsuna based poem. In this poem she mourns all that she has lost as a result of her duty and fate.

Author's Note: This is another short little poem featuring my favorite Senshi, Setsuna. I still do not own Setsuna, or any of the other senshi. Please let me know what you think!

Setsuna's Shadows

I watched the lighted Moon Kingdom fall,

Into the dark of night.

I saw my Kingdom waste away,

My people turned to dust.

I've lived and served for many years,

With no hope of reaching peace.

I am as immortal as the gates I guard,

Always separate from the living.

Each step I take is heavy,

Weighted down by years of fight.

Each step I take is of my own will,

But fate always demands her price.

I tire of these darkened days,

These hollow shadows of life.

I beg for Fate to be kind,

And end my curse of life.

But my cries are never answered,

For someone must be sacrificed.

I long for my past still,

Foolishly hoping and praying,

Becoming a part of the Night.

I'm cursed to keep on living,

And never again be accepted into light.

When I race the fleeing shadows,

The shadows always win.

My soul has been over taken,

And my heart crushed and lost within.
