Duties of None

Nepha considers her duties as Princess of Feli

Duties of None
Must I be plagued by a duty I don’t want?
When did I ask to be a princess?

Since the death of my father, I want to be me.
I don’t want to be something I’m not.

In my heart, I see the truth behind it all.
But why do I even fight it?

I find love, but he can’t see what I do.
He thinks I cannot love him, because of what he is.

But what is love if you can’t see past the exterior?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I can break the spell upon his stone heart,
And we’ll hold to the duties of none.

Return to the poetry.
Run back!
