I see you now, my Scarlet Ibis, forever still, caused by my knot of spite,
never to enjoy the triumphs you achieved.

                            Why?

Because of me, because I had to press you of my own
jealous pride's accord.

You never complained, whined, or showed me discontent;
always eager to show me your progress and better
yourself.

Scarlet Ibis, I have done you wrong. I have effectively
ended your campaign to happiness,

                            Why?

Because of my knot of spite awoken by my thinking we had failed,
that you had failed me.

Now there is but one thing for me to do, my last respect to you,
My Scarlet Ibis.

I shall give you a burial that your Scarlet Ibis
would be jealous of.

Then I shall assume my place, Dissapointment.

I see you now my Scarlet Ibis, Forever still,
Caused by my knot of spite.
