“I fell in your arms tonight
I fell hard in your arms tonight
It was nice”
De Sardet lurched forward, stabbing him right in the stomach.
A whirlwind of emotions overcame her heart, she couldn't stop the tears as they fell.
-My Sweet Prince...-
“I died in your arms tonight”
Constantin didn’t feel the tip of the blade, he didn’t feel the power of en on mil frichtimen leave his body either.
Everything he felt was De Sardet’s body close to his, her arm around his back, and her face hidden in the nape of his neck.
-My Lucky Star…-
“I slipped through into the afterlife”
De Sardet cradled his head as she carefully guided his body to the ground.
Pained apologies made way between her sobs.
Clear tears ran shyly down the prince's cheeks.
-I’m sorry.-
“It was nice”
Constantin’s eyes started to lose color, his hands lost strength, and his lungs lost air.
“White light in your arms tonight”
Between blurry colors and fading lights he saw his Lucky Star’s eyes, she was crying.
-Please don’t cry. -
“I lost sight in your arms tonight”
De Sardet hugged him closer, like she did so many nights ago, she brushed the hair out of his face and kissed his forehead, muttering one last apology on his skin.
She had swore to protect him.
Constantin went with a smile on his face, his head tucked into her chest. Like that little kid who went to his cousin after a nightmare.
She would protect him.
“It was nice”
“And hey, you, don't you think it's kinda cute
That I died right inside your arms tonight
That I'm fine even after I have died
Because it was in your arms I died”
De Sardet lifts Constantin’s body, cradling him with utmost tenderness.
-He's just sleeping- she tells herself, ignoring the blood that paints her clothes red. -don't wake him up.-
“I cry in the afterlife”
As if affected, the sky cried the loss with roaring darkened clouds.
“I cry hard because I have died”
Thunder masks sobs, and salty tears get lost in the rain.
“And you're alive”
A twig creeps up beside De Sardet, moving on it's own, wanting to grab her arm.
She looks at it with disgust, pushing it aside.
Her grip on Constantin’s body never faltering, De Sardet was determined to get Constantin back to New Serene, by any means.
“I try to escape afterlife”
A line of small animals start to follow her, and the plants seem to come alive in her wake.
“I try hard to get back inside”
Birds perch themselves on De Sardet’s shoulders, they mourn their temporary god.
De Sardet mourns her life-long love.
“Your arms alive”
“And hey, you, don't you think it's kinda cute
That I try to escape the afterlife
That I try to get back in your arms alive
That I died in your arms
That I fell hard in your arms
I went and died in your arms that night”
The camp halfway to New Serene was gloom, De Sardet wouldn't speak with anyone, she reminisced of the little kids who ran around the castle, full of life.
That night would be the last time the two cousins slept by each other.
“I fell in your arms tonight”
De Sardet refused to let go of her cousin, the guilt of what she had done settling deep in her heart, breaking it into a million pieces.
She considered...
“Suicide in your arms”
“And hey, you, don't you think it's kinda cute
That I died right inside your arms tonight
That I'm fine even after I have died
That I try to escape the afterlife
That I try to get back in your arms alive
That I died in your arms that night”
-Goodnight, Sweet Prince.-
I fell in your arms tonight
I died in your arms tonight
White light in your arms tonight
I fell in your arms tonight
