My mind was set
On what could've been
A daughter lost
The fight within
-
I tracked you down
with steady breath
Each step would lead
closer to death
-
My hopes were low
as shadows grew
My heart was pure
I thought I knew
-
What could have been
just out of reach
A lesson time
would later teach
-
I cried. I begged.
I dared the edge
My heart a drum
my vow, a pledge
-
But fate
that stupid, silent thief,
Unraveled hope
with quiet grief
-
The mark escaped
the silence stayed
The family watched
daughter betrayed
-
No trophy gleamed
no victory cry
Just echoes where
The hope ran dry
-
Yet in that loss
a truth was found
The huntress was
No longer bound
-
The way I burned
the will to try
Was worth the fall
from empty sky
-
For some pursuits
are meant to teach
That not all stars
are ours to reach
-
And though the prize
may slip and flee
The huntress learned
what she must be
