So, a few nights after glassworks events, Ameiko sits with her samisen and sing this song...

To my lost enemy

Shattered glasses
is all that remains
Razor-sharp pieces
of those bitter days

Within your forge of brittleness
so gentle were your hands
so pitiful your littleness
while shouting your commands

Fueled by the jealousy
that stabbed your wounded pride
the rage that killed your clemency
made her a childless bride

But all the wrath you feeded
has fed your untrue blood
and regret words I needed
are gone with anger’s flood

So long you fought me in vain
dishonor, shame, dismay
Fate played its cards again
Poor you ghost, now go away


Thanks a lot Samirah, I tried doing something similar but with less success, well done.

Very nice! Minor quibble: the past tense of 'feed' is 'fed,' so the fourth stanza would need to be rewritten.

Revision:

But all the wrath awoken
Has fed your untrue blood,
And all our words unspoken
Are gone with anger's flood.


Thanks to both!
And thanks to Misroi for correction.
Funny enough I wrote it right in the second verse. :P
The repetition was intentional but this is way better.
