As the sword plunged into your back with a white-hot kiss,
Your eyes opened in shock and your body slumped forward.
My sworn enemy then wrenched the blade form your body.
Your body the fell lifelessly forward into my arms.
My enemy smirked as the scene tragically unfolded.
One of your crushed flowers fell from your hands
The very same flower you had sold to me in Midgar.
I only dimly heard my enemy proclaiming how
I was only pretending to have anger, fear, and sadness.
My enemy and I locked eyes and I glared quite hard
As your body lay there limply in my arms.
My enemy -- our enemy -- prattled on, then vanished
Leaving behind the arm of Jenova as a kind of memento.
I knew it was too late to even consider reviving you.
Your serene face will no longer smile at me anymore.
All cried at the tragic scene, even Vincent and Yuffie.
When you and I were finally alone, I knew what I must do.
I lifted up your body and removed it from the altar.
Outside, I carried it to the edge of the pool so clear
Farther into the depths of the pond I went, to where it was waist-deep.
Your hands were clasped on your waist as I lowered you in.
As you sunk to the depths, I stepped back towards land.
As an afterthought, I tossed out your crushed flower.
It floated on the surface for the longest time.
My denim skirt dripped as I said, "Aeris, on this crushed flower I swear,
I'll have revenge on you for killing my beloved Sephiroth."
