Sorrowful Eyes Disclaimer: I do not own Vision of Escaflowne because if I did, I would of re-written the script and replaced Hitomi with me because then I'd have the cute as h* * * Van. ^ ^

A/N: Most likely people who dwell in the realm known as Escaflowne don't have any clue why a character such as I would actually submit work, since I'm a Digimon/ Gundam Wing writer. I just thought that this poem would help me spread my wings (No pun intented Esca fans) and I came up with this poem. I just *had* to come up with something after I saw the ending of the series. That really was a good ending... Okay back to what I was saying... So in other words it's my first fanwork in the Escaflowne section so I hope people will review it. This really isn't one of my best poems but I'd appreciate it if you review. Thanks a lot!

Sorrowful Eyes

Every time I see you,
So sad, so alone.
You don't know how much it pains me,
To see you so...

Hurt.

When you look at me,
With those sorrowful eyes.
Once filled with such childish hope.
Overflowing with innocence, warmth.
Now filled with so much pain, unfiltered hatred...

No more.

I can't stand it!
This is not right.
No one deserves to go through all that.
The death of your parents, your brother, your guardian,
Expecting you to take it so lightly.
So much to ask!

It's not right...

Why can't they see you for who you really are?
Not a king, not a soldier,
A child... Nothing more.
Blinded with the future... Present gone in disarray...
Why can't they just let you be?

I wish...

All I want to do is hold you in my arms,
Let you know that I'm here...
...Just for you, never forget that.
Our tears will speak for us both.
