CXCIX
Time to promote
that advanced pawn.
She stood straight
and faced the hushed crowd.
This new Mary,
this Paragon,
Shall deliver
the final bow.
CC
MARY/PARAGON:
"Would things
have been different?
If you and I
are both the same?
We'd both be rich
and ignorant,
Or both poor
with unfamous names?"
CCI
Staying silent
was what she preferred,
All those fine gold
might turn to brass.
Amber refused
to say a word,
And Mary's eyes
found Emma's.
CCII
Eye to eye
without showing flaws.
Emma noticed
her fiery stare,
She was samely broken
as she was,
They understood,
they both been there.
CCIII
MARY/PARAGON:
"Seems that move
was very unwise.
I know you didn't
think it through,
Such dumb,
vacating sacrifice,
Yet I'm glad
for the both of you."
CCIV
MARY/PARAGON:
"Should I
best forgive you Emma?
You and I were fools
of one man.
While
I let go of dilemma,
You held on
as long as you can."
