~Author's Note~

My first fanfic *jumps with joy even though it's a depressing story* :D. A Halt POV poem I wrote when I was attempting to come up with ideas for a school poetry project. I am going to apologise in advance for any grammar errors (ughhhhow I hate grammar :| ). But it's just a little one-shot/between Halt and Caitlin when Halt is forced to leave Hibernia. Yup so read and review, please and thank you!


Eyes of Amber

Your eyes of amber glare back at me

Your voice is a drone, like you're under the sea

Suddenly you are livid, your eyes light up like glowing embers

Why you're upset, I forget, not wanting to remember

I lose myself for a moment hypnotized your cryptic gaze

Your eyes search through my soul as if it is a winding maze

How can you know so little, you haven't been alive very long

But, yet, can be so wise for one ever so young?

You were the only one believed me; you always offered the best advice

You always had a way with words and easily could melt my heart of ice

We stand there in silence, no words are spoken

Then your stare breaks from mine, as if a spell has been broken

You turn your head away even though I've known you for years

You think you're showing weakness and don't want me to see your tears

Now, I am forced to remember the cause of all your pain

Because of what our brother did to me, everything will change

How could my own flesh and blood want to kill and betray

This is just another unanswered question, but more reason for me not to stay

Your voice is barley a whisper I softly hear you say

"Halt, please, there has to be another way"

I shake my head sadly tears forming in my eyes as well

We both knew it was coming but we kept saying "only time will tell"

But the time has come and sadly, Pandora's Box has been opened

I haven't even left yet and my heart's already broken

Between us, there are not many words are left unsaid

What are left over are emotions and tears still to be shed

It seems to me that you were thinking along the same lines

I can stand to see you cry no more so I hug you tightly for the last time

We stand there a minute still wrapped in a tight embrace

I hope you know that in my heart you will forever hold a special place

I know I need to go; I turn your face toward mine

And softly whisper goodbye to your tear filled amber eyes.


A/N:
