-You Break My Heart-

A forlorn, wet figure in the merciless rain,
Fingers clutching your cold metal wheelchair.
I take my chance, I start to speak,
"Why must you leave? This isn't fair."

You turn to me, a bitter smile on your lips.
"I'm sorry my friend, I don't love you anymore."
I look for compassion, instead I found ice.
Your eyes clutch my heart, it is awfully sore.

"I don't understand." I shake my head.
"I've been taking care of you ever since."
"What have I done wrong?" I ask of you,
The glacial rain renders my tears rinsed.

You close your eyes; a sigh breaks through.
"I thank you for that, and it's not you."
You cock your head, you study me intently.
"It's just me; and what I've been through."

"But I've always been there," I continue to insist.
My gaze travels down to your missing legs.
"Through the good and the bad," I whisper to you.
I'm in the rain too long; my body aches.

Your words are clipped, and you are harsh.
"Don't annoy me or you'll lose our friendship."
You jerk back from me, like I am a worm.
My flare of anger is brightly lit.

"So what?" I snap, and it satisfies me.
"Don't make me do what I always could."
I glare at you and you glower right back.
I don't even care if I sound rude.

"It's been three years," I barrage on.
"Why now? Not then? It's far too long."
Your eyes flash with hurt as I insult you.
"Don't tell me that I've always been wrong!"

"I hate you now. You're nothing but a fool."
I'm through with you, and I raise my hand.
I watch, sickly amused, as I prepare for a strike.
The expression in your face stops me then.

You lift your lashes, you gaze at me.
I feel a stirring stab of guilt.
"I just don't want to be a burden to you.
"Syaoran, you've always understood."

"I know, Meilin, but you're not."
I lift a trembling finger and touch your cheek.
You caress my finger with your hand,
Then you toss it away with a swift flick.

You wheel away slowly, every moment chained to time.
Remembrance of us together soon came.
I catch the obvious pain in your eyes,
As I stand there forlornly in the rain.

Author's Notes

Yeppers, another angsty fic. I hate it when all my fics have angst. //rams head into table//

In one of the reviews for Hurt Inside (that - yes, angsty - ficcy about Meilin? Remember?), someone said that if I was a good person, I should write a good MeiLi fic. This cannot be classified as good (^-^;;), but it's a MeiLi fic. Kind of. ^-^;;;
