What Could Have Been
by fatal whispher
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Wow! Another Pokemon poem! And a free verse one, too! This is a one sided Twinleafshipping fic about Jun's regrets on not ever telling Hikari how he felt about her and how it's too late to do so now. Hmm. You know, these poems could probably be superior to my Zelda ones...Maybe. R and R. NO FLAMING! Thanks:)
I sit here
The front pew, in front of the altar
The wedding's almost done
The vows almost exchaged
She's marrying a guy she's known
Since we were all kids:
Kouki Raiden
And I wonder what could have been
-
She's never looked more beautiful
A pure white dress
A veil covering her delicate face
White roses in her indigo hair
A beautiful church on a spring day
It's simply perfect
It's a day of new beginnings
For her...
And for him...
But not for me...
-
For me it is a tragic end
A dream falling to its death
The fantasy I've held in my heart
Since I first met her
A dream...
And it's my fault that it never came true
-
Regret...
Horrid regret washes over me
Maybe if I hadn't been
So rotten as a child
If I hadn't bragged
Or put her down
Or tried to impress her with my boasts
If I hadn't done all that
Could I have been standing
Where he is now?
-
If I hadn't denied that I loved her
If I had admitted my feelings
When she admitted hers
Or if I'd hadn't constantly ran away
When she wanted me
Or if I hadn't abandoned her
If I had stayed by her side
Could I have been holding her hand
Like he is now?
-
My heart shatters
The vows are sealed with
A passionate kiss
My pride cannot still
The tears
She hugs me tightly
I say I'm happy for them
Like always, I'm lying to her
-
They exit the chapel
Holding hands
She's never been happier
At least that's good
A banner is placed on the back
Of his silver convertible
"Just Married-
Kouki and Hikari"
If I had only treated her right
Could it have possibly been
"Jun and Hikari"?
-
Everyone cries tears of joy
As they ride away to their new life
But here do I stand
With tears of regret
Staining my heart with a sorrow
That might never go away...
LA FIN
Thanks for reading! This probably isn't one of my better poems, but I just had this urge to do something angsty and tragic. XD No flaming (for the kittens!), give me only constructive critiscism, and have a nice day!!
