Antipathes

 Antipathes

By BladeOfHope

Isn't it

Cruel

How the world responds

To pain?

And isn't it

Fuel

For emotions and

These flames?

It's not like

I wanted

To hurt you all so much,

And it's not like

I hunted

For a reason to be bad luck.

<p style="text-align: center;">I wish that you could see me

<p style="text-align: center;">For the cat I really am.

<p style="text-align: center;">It's not so hard to be me,

<p style="text-align: center;">Until I'm the one you blame.

<p style="text-align: center;">Tell me what I did wrong?

<p style="text-align: center;">Tell me, show me, please!

<p style="text-align: center;">Why can't you just play along

<p style="text-align: center;">When everyone else did freeze?

<p style="text-align: center;">I didn't ask to be

<p style="text-align: center;">The cat with violet eyes.

<p style="text-align: center;">I didn't choose the Free

<p style="text-align: center;">So that you could weave these lies.

<p style="text-align: center;">So what if

<p style="text-align: center;">They're an underground and

<p style="text-align: center;">Cunning enemy?

<p style="text-align: center;">Maybe

<p style="text-align: center;">I like it,

<p style="text-align: center;">And maybe this is me.

<p style="text-align: center;">The Free are real and honest;

<p style="text-align: center;">I know they understand.

<p style="text-align: center;">I don't care how much I promised you.

<p style="text-align: center;">I'll live below the land.

<p style="text-align: center;">Yes, my name's Sardonyx.

<p style="text-align: center;">I'm the cat you've heard about.

<p style="text-align: center;">I'm tired of all the groups and cliques

<p style="text-align: center;">That have forced me down and out.

<p style="text-align: center;">I can't be

<p style="text-align: center;">Your perfect

<p style="text-align: center;">And pristine

<p style="text-align: center;">Warrior true,

<p style="text-align: center;">Nor can I

<p style="text-align: center;">Be honest

<p style="text-align: center;">And say that

<p style="text-align: center;">I love you.

<p style="text-align: center;">I know it's

<p style="text-align: center;">Not easy

<p style="text-align: center;">To hide what

<p style="text-align: center;">I was to you,

<p style="text-align: center;">But you know I'm

<p style="text-align: center;">Not perfect -

<p style="text-align: center;">I'm a shadow of

<p style="text-align: center;">Hatred and rue.

<p style="text-align: center;">I don't care if you hate me.

<p style="text-align: center;">You can shun me; I'll be fine.

<p style="text-align: center;">As long as you don't make me

<p style="text-align: center;">Come back, then I'm divine.

<p style="text-align: center;">I'll die someday in glory;

<p style="text-align: center;">I'll walk among the stars!

<p style="text-align: center;">Will you cherish thoughts of my life?

<p style="text-align: center;">I'll always remember ours.

<p style="text-align: center;">Ah, warriors, how I'll miss you,

<p style="text-align: center;">Despite your pureblood moan;

<p style="text-align: center;">Kittypets, well I wish you,

<p style="text-align: center;">And rogues: don't hunt alone.

<p style="text-align: center;">My advice I will

<p style="text-align: center;">Offer,

<p style="text-align: center;">No matter if you

<p style="text-align: center;">Hear.

<p style="text-align: center;">Even when I'm

<p style="text-align: center;">Gone,

<p style="text-align: center;">I promise I'll always be

<p style="text-align: center;">Near.

<p style="text-align: center;">Even if it means I have to leave,

<p style="text-align: center;">Cry tears,

<p style="text-align: center;">Run in fear,

<p style="text-align: center;">Disappear,

<p style="text-align: center;">I'll always remember the cats I left.

<p style="text-align: center;">I lived,

<p style="text-align: center;">I loved,

<p style="text-align: center;">I was here.

<p style="text-align: center;">Yes, I know you didn't love me back.

<p style="text-align: center;">It hurt,

<p style="text-align: center;">It killed me,

<p style="text-align: center;">It bruised,

<p style="text-align: center;">But no matter where I am, I know

<p style="text-align: center;">I'll remember

<p style="text-align: center;">You knew

<p style="text-align: center;">I loved you.

<p style="text-align: center;">Accused of using magic

<p style="text-align: center;">To create my own supplies,

<p style="text-align: center;">I was only being honest,

<p style="text-align: center;">And now here's my demise.
