I was born from brilliance and fed to obscurity.
I was tainted from deseat and cast down by bores.
My once ivory wings were diseased with one of dark obsidian.
A curse to prove my sullied resistance.
My body of porcelain, beaten unrecognizable.
Beloved by all who had laid eyes upon me, that love would lead to my demise.
A threat to all they held dear, a demon in a guise.
Stuck in their vise, a victim of circumstance.
Blood as dark as wine, breathes laborious.
Face stained with salt and an unwavering dismal.
Afraid of death, an uneasiness.
I dont wanna die…
×But you must
I'm not ready…
×You were prepared for this. You can't serve in this world.
I'm not ready…
×You jest Dear. That one black wing of yours will never allow you in.
Can I live?
×You were born to die.
I did what was asked of me, it wasn't enough.
×They ravaged you for everything you were. They stole what was most precious.
She thinks I don't already know that!
I was powerless, alone, terrified there was nothing I could have done.
What would she have had me do?
×… there was nothing you could have done but pr…
My stomach dropped, I prayed every day. How dare she! I prayed and he looked away… THEY… THEY ALL LOOKED AWAY!
×Calm down, Dear child.
DON'T… AFTER WHAT SHE ALLOWED THEM TO DO… AFTER… SHE HAS NO RIGHT.
×I understan-
Understand… I've heard that before.
There's no way she could understand and she never will.
You look down upon me, in the comfort of those blinding gates!
×This is your repentance.
I hung my head, a white furry coursing through me.
×One day, I hope you can understand and see it from our perspective.
*Silence*
The seasons pass and nothing changes.
I ponder on the roof, mocked by bright white snow.
I hang my head in my arms.
How long do I have to be alone?
I'm so afraid… What should I do?
Arms wrap around me and I nearly fall.
"i've come to comfort you. you don't have to be alone anymore"
I wonder if this is another trick, I won't go back to obscurity!
"its ok… i'm just like you"
A child of obscurity with one obsidian wing and one of ashen gray.
"i was betrayed as well. i could love you… if only you give me the chance"
She stretches out her hand and I hesitantly grab it.
Life's still hard, but she makes it bearable. She's become the missing piece I didn't realize I lost.
Still lonely but learning the reason for it.
My days pass I'm not magically better but I am way less sad.
