Notes: Ok, so. I have to say thanks to cerise88 for the awesome review, and to PureDark20 for the kind reminder review.
Also, this next poem is taken from the Asgard MOVIE, not the anime arc. Therefore, you have to know something about the film to understand what is happening. For those of you who have not seen the movie, and don't care about spoilers and/or would like to know the background of this poem, I will explain the basic plot of the film in the next paragraph. If you don't like spoilers, go watch the movie on youtube or something. It's only 45 minutes long.
Basically, in The Heated Battle of the Gods, Hyoga disappears. Saori and the other four Bronze Saints trip to Asgard to ask the leader, Dolbar (or something like that) if he knows anything about Hyoga. Dolbar says he knows nothing, and the four Bronzies meet some Asgardian godwarriors. Seiya and Shiryuu go out searching for Hyoga. Dolbar magically sticks Saori to the front of a ship. Meanwhile, the Saints have to fight the godwarriors, and Shiryuu ends up against the masked one called Midgard, who takes off his mask to reveal...Hyoga. (This part, I admit, took me completely by surprise.) At any rate, the BEST part of this movie, I SWEAR, is the pain and emotion drawn into Shiryuu's eyes as he fights Hyoga, because Hyoga has been brainwashed by the Asgardians. You can really tell, even through the animation, that Shiryuu DOES NOT WANT to fight Hyoga. AT ALL.
At any rate, the film ends like Saint Seiya ALWAYS ends, with the Bronzies winning (Hyoga comes back, yay) and Saori making some little speech, and there being general happiness.
So, this is a poem from Shiryuu's perspective as he's fighting "Midgard".
Of course, if you want, you can think of it as some other random situation in which Hyoga has to fight Shiryuu.
Betrayal
Why have you turned your back on this
that you once fought for
you've completely pushed away your love
and the promises you swore
You said you fight for righteousness
back-to-back with all your friends
but now you say it was all for nothing
your love is at its end
You used to be so loyal
so fierce and proud and true
it used to be, among all of us,
the most steadfast was you
We told each other we'd fight together
and none of us could die
to get up again even when we fell
Was all of that a lie?
I don't want to fight you
why can you not see?
why is it you who stand here
as my mortal enemy?
I've felled many strong opponents
to accomplish what is right
But why must it be you now
that the dragon goes to bite?
Can you see the pain in my eyes
as dragon and swan both fly?
and as you fall I weep and ask
"Why, Hyoga, why?"
