(Eh this poem is bascially saying if Sydney was in love with Ashley truly in the game it would be like this. ^_^ I personally don't know if he did feel this way, I've been hearing in the japanese version of the game he confessed love to Ashley... *sigh* If someone knows could they please tell me...)
What a strange feeling is
this;
It feels something like bliss.
Warmth and gentleness,
I know them not.
It is something so intangible.
Yet did I not say;
A sweet faith is a draught
of love.
Do you see?
It looks like heaven.
I can feel your thoughts and
emotions.
I could control them, force
my will upon thee.
You are my puppet, a pawn
in the game I play.
Even as I wish for forgiveness…
Will you forgive me?
My hands are stained with
crimson.
The blood you have shed in
my name.
It is a painful bliss.
Guilt and love
Self-loathing and awe.
I do not ask . . .
I should not care …
Yet what else is left for
me?
The one I’ve sought for is
you.
To pass upon the burden
Soon so very soon
It will be carved from me
with unholy hands
It will be your hands that
will restore it.
Sorrow melts my heart.
I will inflict more pain
upon you.
The Blood Sin will be yours.
The knowledge is yours.
The horror of what will be
done is upon you.
Yet there is no fear.
Is your soul really so far
from your body?
Or is it something more that
keeps fear at bay?
Desire for justice.
That is acted upon with a
ruthless accuracy.
You will not be as weak as
me.
All of your words and deeds.
Do they speak truly?
You are an angel in a devil’s guise Sydney.
By the gods Ashley Riot
I love you.
