Death of a Manga Girl

Feel the heat cool on your neck, smell the sea breeze that brought you here.
As rose petals kissed the foaming waves her whispered words caress, communicate,
Promises that were made to forge and break within arms that failed to protect.
As drifted snow like tears haunt and fall the solitude grips the cliffs at dawn.

Fall to knees submit to the memories the smiling face that always greets.
Tresses of silky hair tumble and roll like streams of life’s precious water.
Scarlet drops that purify defiled ground, the spirit released from its gilded cage.
The shell that falls and is claimed by waves to the unknown orchestra’s lament.


Pilgrimage of duty, sworn oath upheld to the daughter that fell.
Her head rested in shamed arms, scarlet stream that turned the sky dark.
As prayers were left unfulfilled, the prophecy of falsehoods that rings true.
The tides reclaim her peaceful state, the melodic line that now begins anew.


Tell me! Screams around that heaven is gone, fortune that favours no one, feel fate torn away, celestial betrayal.
Why? Lies surround, laughter is all you hear. Time falls away, conspiracies dawn, tragic heroine, extinguished flame.


Hear her song of undulating dulcet tones that cry and morn for morning.
The sun that breaks the still calm blue, blinding waves of white emotion,
And feathers litter the sky as cherry blossoms pave your way.
Hero of the heart bleeds further still and creeps slowly towards oblivion.

The gentle dance of the waves, the orange glow that spells the end.
As dusk descends and settles on the cliffs that you see once again.
Released from the duty, look around at the life that is given back to you.
Till the anniversary calls rest gently as time heals all wounds.


Pilgrimage of duty, sworn oath upheld to the daughter that fell.
Her head rested in shamed arms, scarlet stream that turned the sky dark.
As prayers were left unfulfilled, the prophecy of falsehoods that rings true.
