Dragon of the Depths

Verse 1
There's always someone chasing me.

I battle their incoherent screams as they

thrust their sword into me, over and over.

Why must you do this to me?

If my presence offends you,

simply go elsewhere.

Don't look at me like that.

I'm scared. You're hurting me...

I don't want to live like this.

I've been sleeping more lately.

My memory is hazy.

I wish I could sleep longer,

but I can't... I fear

what will happen to me if I do.

Like having my head bashed open,

or being stoned like before.

Verse 2
I can't stay awake for very long now.

This may be my last day.

I was determined to escape,

but I couldn't convince myself

to go through with the plan.

I hate this place and everyone here...

And yet, it wasn't enough.

I heard a voice from behind.

"I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise."

I couldn't believe

the warmth in those eyes.

"I know these kindhearted eyes..."

It was then that a

benevolent breeze

embraced us both.

Verse 3
...Ah. I remember now... He was the

one who saved me from my loneliness.

He was the one who fought to protect

me. He was my one and only friend.

But when we were reunited, he had

been turned into the enemy's puppet.

It was heart-wrenching,

watching his gradual demise.

And when he finally got away,

it was too late.

We finally reached a world where only the two of us exist.

A place that we both held in our hearts.

We said we would never

let anyone ruin this world for us.

But now... this world...is...

An abyss stretches out before me.

"Where am I?"

"Who am I?"

My mind...is gone.

My heart... I feel my heart.

It's riddled with holes.

"I'm lonely... So lonely... Ever so lonely..."

I trudge onward.

The light guides me.

At the end of it...

The sweetest smile.

We've never met,

but I feel...connected.

I take a deep breath and

find the courage to speak.

"You...want to be

friends?"
