The Cruel Lady Destiny
Jessica Burnett


I watch you as you fall asleep at night, innocent but aware of a worser world that is unable to touch you.
I want to know how you can retain your purity when you've seen so much. I think that I love you.
You know of me because I am your swore enemy. In the daylight I am your foe, but at night...
At night is the time when I follow you and discover the true you, and I see your unextinguishable light.

I want to capture you and hold you in my embrace for as long as it takes you to see that I'm not so bad.
My love, the battles we fight cannot go on forever... I wish that we could forget the quarrels we've had.
I know there was a time when you could have loved me, maybe not as much I love you, but it would be something.
Everyday we go out, each of us hoping it will be a day without confrontation, but that hoping is nothing.

It was your grace that attracted me to you, I will admit this, but I came to love your soul even more.
I've grown bitter and loving of irony, but you've managed to remain a child without any special chore.
You don't delude yourself with fantasies that give you false hopes that tomorrow will be a different day.
I admire that in you, my sweet ironic love, because unlike you, I lack the strength to keep my mental demons at bay.

I've fallen into love after climbing out of the pool of hate, but sometimes I wonder which is more hostile.
At least with hate you can ignore the subject... love forces me to look at you, admiring even the way you kill.
Let me love you... just for now, just in my dreams. I can't stand the thought of not loving you.
You love another man, another prince, another who can't love you as much as you can love them, and twice as true.

You look out your window with the stars in your beautiful eyes, and Venus must bow down with envy.
You giggle at your thoughts, sigh at a sad song, and move with serenity.
Why can't you be mine, just for a few precious, wonderful moments? Why can't you love me?
She's cruel to us both, my moonlight maiden, but someday I'll defeat the cruel Destiny.

And if I somehow managed that great and terrible feat-- what then, my love? Everything is upon your shoulders.
I know that if you can find it in your heart to forgive my sins that together we can remove the boulders
That stand in our way to true happiness. The thought that terrifies me is that you might not forgive me.
I don't think I can live without being graced by your serenity, your grace, your love-- your beauty.

You're a slim candle in the darkest of nights, in those hours just before the dawning that are so terrible.
You're from the moon herself, with skin of lily and hair of moonbeams and a gaze so wonderful it's horrible.
Deceptive strength is confined within your lithe limbs and within your will is an unbreakable silver steel cord.
At the merest mention of your name comes to me the memory of your love and it leaves me floored.

[i like to think there's something more between usagi and demando than the series shows. something deeper to his obsession than pure physical lust. i dunno. call me a stupid, obsessed freak. i know you love me anyway]
