'Poem to a Fictional Darling' by Ravyn LaRue

At first I was alright with your assimilation

I mean, it was for what I thought was the greater good

And I thought your soul had some say in the matter

But now with the bitterness revealed-

In unfair play, I admit,

I see it now differently

And the entire significance has changed

And, though I saw myself as you beforehand

That's been amped up big time by recent events

And the fanfic I joked about writing

I now will follow through with sincerely

Since I see these things as great big allegories

And the vast intangible bad

Is the same badness I'm struggling with

And though it might not come down to a simple tragic backstory with me

I see myself as you

And that isn't a good thing

But it isn't bad either

And I feel duped by being so on board with your assimilation

Because I feel assimilated here

Into something I was before 

And that which I struggled in the first place to shed

But bitterness is seen as charming

And now I relate to you more

Even though I'm well aware I was among those cheering

I'm sorry, and I wish you were real

Real in your universe as well as mine

And I know this is pathetic

But that's kinda the point, dear
