Betrayal-Lyon

Fifteen days

Fifteen days I've roamed these halls

Fifteen days my mind has been mostly my own

And I have to wonder at times why I lost it

How I could even think of losing it.

The why comes easily

But here in this quiet and clean kingdom

Where everyone truly has their own demons

My reasons seem ridiculous.

There are a few who understand.

One of the twins lifts his chin as he appraises me

But I can see who he is

What he is and is not willing to do

I never had such a sense of purpose.

I was willing to do anything

As long as it only brought harm to myself.

I was so desperate

I knew that I needed help

Yet I never asked

I never asked

I went through with my gravest mistake

Everything I was blurred

All of my ideals twisted

I wanted to protect my country

Death was coming

It came anyways.

So many more died because of my idiocy.

So many who were not involved

Fifteen days I have been here.

Fifteen days have passed since they took me from death's clutches.

Those I admired most

Those I betrayed along with myself

They are here now and I cannot face them.

Even if being alone led to my greatest mistakes

They do not deserve to have to put up with me.

I will not force them to.
