I'm sorry but
I cannot be your hero...
if you don't allow me to be.
ANDROMEDA
I must tell you
That I am no warrior or hero
In front of you stands a coward
Who fled from people
Like they were beasts after her flesh
But I must also tell you
That for you I would raise my sword
And break the chains
binding you to the troubles of your lonely world
Before the growing void swallows you alive
I lay here thinking that
A savior I could have been
If you let me break you free
Like how the story went
But you did not...
And so I wasted time watching, frozen by fear.
Unlike The Princess, you remained bound
Until you vanished into the emptiness
And I knew you no more.
