Be Good My Child

Wandered from your village, lost and alone Over the years you were sick of your home Looked for another chance somewhere below Saw a small butterfly that you would follow The hole was winding forever so Not aware of the world lying below Holding your heart, onto your hopes Tumbling down the mountain slopes Landed like a baby bird Hopeless, desperate, alone, and hurt My child found you, awestruck and afraid While you cried, he sat and stayed He took you with him, to our home A humble place where we monsters roam You didn't speak, shy when you came I fed you well, I asked your name You took great pleasure in playing with my horns You would wake up and do it every morn My furry ears would tickle your nose And you pretended my tail was a fire hose My son cared for you with all his heart He hated when you two were apart Humans gave you something, it was old A heart locked carved from gold You gave it to him at the waterfall To him it was the most special thing of all He hugged you tight, not letting go It was a love only family would know After all these years of love and play You were sadly taken away The reaper came, filled with greed And you did follow his dark lead Genocide is what you craved A bloodstained path is what you paved Murdering monsters just like me And my precious son did see You are not like us any more You became sick and rotten to your core But I still loved you, how could I not? You were my child, I haven't forgot Then one day, a monster saw you Decided to stop you through and through His mighty horns were standing tall His heart held no regrets at all You dodged him, panting as you ran But a child like you can't win against a monster man He blasted and sliced and chopped and struck All you needed was pure luck And when your form was lying still The monster got a sudden chill Did he kill you? He wouldn't dare He remembered when he found you there Memories flashed through his mind Of all of the good and horrible times He held the locket out to you Hoping that you'd start anew You stood up in the empty space He pulled you into a tight embrace You hugged him back, he had high hope But you grabbed your knife and issued the blow You killed my son, I know that now But I still love you somehow You were my child, kind and bright Until you went into the night I kneel before you, on the ground You killed me child, you stood and frowned As I spoke to you in a voice so mild All I said was, “Be good my child” Based on Undertale
