"Burning flames of blue"
With such a beautiful shade, it was so dangerous
Heat that danced around the palm running so loose
Even without sight I can feel the foreign flame
Engulfing me with rage and compassion none can tame
Blue was supposed to be cold or to be with peace
Yet when she releases it from her fingertips, time doesn't seem to freeze
As I raise my body with the Earth I can feel
Danger hotter than any fire, burning me with thrill
"Princess of the Fire Nation" is what she appears to be
But when we cross paths, the idea slips free
As I tell her all the greatest mockery
She would burn back with heated words and come right at me
The thought of the mentally damaged girl wasn't nice to put it simply
But when more coincidences piled up, it became curiosity
To know how such a person full of pride and power
Grow up only to stoop low and stray away even farther
"Everything you can have, everything you can own
Earth gives you the life like a leader with a throne
The land, the trees, the people and the nature
Are full of warmth and life just like your own fire"
I tell her all this as I aimlessly grabbed for her cheek
The nerve I got, I know, I surely am a freak
But as tear-stained skin grazed against my thumb
I knew that the Princess that was once full of pride and power has gone numb
Blue now seems to be sadness and broken dreams
A tale of once a great firebender only known through untold hymns
Her legacy, her royalty, her fame and her riches
Now forgotten by her people, her crown in pieces
Even without sight it feels as if I can see
The madness and anger breaking her and only
Leaving a trail of a delusional, unstable mind
Her wrists and ankles in pain, metals in bind
Burning flames of blue, what great power it had
With lightning and force, it crushed everything in its path
The beautiful poison that everyone feared - they would flee for their lives
Now sheltered by a blind girl that accepted its thorns and knives
