Erm...well, when I reread it, (and added the first part!) I was thinking of Subaru sitting up there on Tokyo Tower after the whole Seishirou thing...yah. And I'm really horrible at naming poetry, so my evil neechan Missa named it... ^_^ It fits. Poetry is so much easier than fiction...well, no, but it *is* faster! *grin* I hope you like! ~miriya Failed the Light ~ A Subaru POV~ The view here still is beautiful, In the place where once you made me whole, The cold sting of the night wind, Fades before the chill of my soul. Everything's moving so fast these days, This world, now, will it fall? So few left to protect it, I know we can't win them all. If I look, at just the right angle, I can almost see you there, So beautiful, dark angel, Toying with this prey ensnared. How could something so careless as words Break all that I held true? I wonder, still, if you realized How much I once loved you Yes, once I still believed in love, That faith would conquer all, So hard, the lessons one must learn, Crushed dreams of a child so small. But I grew up, so quickly, Flinching 'way from the all-knowing night, What have I left to turn to? I have seen the lies of "right". And still, I see you standing there, That warm smile on your face, Masking the darkness in your eyes, The treachery in your embrace. I heard you say it, long ago, You said I was just like you, But were you speaking what you felt, Did you believe that it was true? If I had known what we'd be today, I wonder what I'd have done? Would I have still fallen whole-heartedly, Dark angel, would you have won? I still feel your warmth upon my hands, As I finally let you go, Oh, angel, would you die like this, My love--how was I to know? Your city doesn't mourn this loss, No, it's blind to all my pain, The lights, still shine so happily, My tears are the only rain. And if this dying flesh should fail, If I should leave tonight, Please leave me with this darkness, For I fear I've failed the light... ~owari~ kyeron: *snickers* geez, yer getting rusty... me: -_-;; shaddup, musie. ~Miriya ===== list mistress *X Fandom* www.egroups.com/group/Xfandom AIM: DoE Nataku Rock is dead.
