PURPLE SILENCE
"That pure heart… don’t you use it for evil things…"
Mistress 9, SailorMoonS series
Silence. Dark, endless, enveloping all.
It has taken control, I cannot suppress it.
A raging storm of silence withing my heart
Spilling out, I am caught, trapped…
Silence has taken over, trapped my soul
Like a firefly, my soul’s light
Glows against the darkness, but
The darkness is too strong. I am overpowered…
My soul screams, as the firefly fades.
Fading… disappearing…With my last strength,
I scream out, in desperate hopes that
My shattering cry will pierce the silence.
My voice, like an arrow, an arrow of life
Shatters the silence, blowing life
Into the firefly’s faded wings.
They spread out, glowing with a newfound light
The light of my heart chases the silence away.
Fleeing, like a purple shadow, the dark silence spirit
Is gone, shattered by a light. The light of my pure heart.
