Fifth part of the [21 Elements] project, inspired by Final Fantasy Type-0 (Reishiki). I'm playing the game!

This poem is dedicated to [Arlu Genesis A. Padilla], the blade-wielder of the element...

CRYSTAL

Fragile is a rare beauty

That wishes to vanish

Priceless I may be in the eyes of a lover

Worthless still I become without care

Valued I am always through years of splendor

A camouflaged history is all I bear

Star of the night sky I am portrayed

Beautified by the presence of lovely fate

Unremembered I am, and thus betrayed

By hopes that utterly command me to wait

Shining in the desert, all alone

Glorify what I am without emotion

Thrown by the voice of sand and stone

Praise my rarity without predilection

Clear is my reflection, none exists

Nothing uncovers what lies in me

No one reminisces, no one persists

No one continues who I will be

Forget the days of love and affection

For all I prefer is a minute of truth

In the hands of purity, the touch of passion

I may be comforted, caressed, soothed

Fragile is a rare beauty

That may only vanish
