Like a Certain Fox Boy & His Oni Girlfriend, But Different

In all his ways,
his kindness and his glamour show . .  .

So long ago,
broken and abandoned children -
he and I,
different, yet the same

Objects,
according to our admirers -

Living beings,
with souls, passions,
fears and fragilities

Error-making monsters who dare to hope for love.

I see you,
my only love,
I see you.

The scars that squirm benearth your skin,
the humans who coerced you
into deeds so foul no bath nor shower
will purify the stain
upon your soul.

"And I see you,
Treasured Goddess;
for we are the same.

The cigarette burns,
the cuts of blunt blades proliferate,
your face barely recalls how to execute a smile . . .

And I recall who made those scars.
I've made them pay.
No one harms my Divinity, my Empress.

NO ONE may touch the Queen of my world."

Nor may any treat you harshley,
Great Fox;
for you are my Delight.

Let me protect your tender heart.

"If you'll let me protect yours, Beloved."

Of course.
