Apprentice (Finius) from 100/100 by Zoe Boekbinder

I never had an apprentice
I never had a protege
could I have prevented this?
Quill died of sadness yesterday

Quill modeled after me
but what does my work even mean?
nothing compared to what Quill made
I just work to get paid

I never had an apprentice
I never had a protege
could I have prevented this?
Quill died in prison yesterday

this is not happenstance
I'm meant to give Quill a second chance
I'll give meaning to Quill's sad fate
like for our creatures, its not too late

I never had an apprentice
I never had a protege
I wasn't meant to prevent this
Quill had to die this way
