Your Little Raven

[Sailor Ryu]

---

Are you proud of me, Father?
For all that I am, for all that I've done?
Do you think of me, your little raven, while you are out there?

Or do you still see only the flaws?
The niggling little imperfections of your perfect little girl.
Staring deep into her soul and feeling nothing but remorse for the tragedy of your own creation.

Do you still love me, Father?
Even after all these years.
Knowing that you can only look upon me and feel sorrow.

I understand if you don't.
Especially after what I have done.
Such a deed unforgivable, to one who covets family such as you.
Such as I.

Yet I made my decision.
Redemption was offered,
Yet never taken.
Judgment was the only path forward.

It was not an easy choice; honor, over personal desire.
Judgment, over family.
Not a night passes, where I do not think of what I have done.
Where I do not mourn.
Yet, it will not break my spirit.

Will you find solace amidst these tear stained pages,
Or am I doomed to feel only your resentment.
Do you still love me?
Am I still your little Raven?
