I wish I were dreaming

I wish this wasn't true

I wish I could escape life

I wish I could be with you

You fell to the ground

The blood flowing from your wound

It's the most intense red I've ever seen

The image will never leave my mind

The look in your eyes was a look like no other

There was no pain, just a look of despair

There was no wondering what had happened

You knew that you would join your father soon

I hope you see your sister

I hope you see the beauty of Elysium

I hope I can be with you soon

I want you to know that I avenged your death

I want you to know that I killed that damn monster

I want you to know that no one will take your place

There will never be another Nico Di Angelo

There will never be another love of mine that will add up to you

It's been three days since your funeral

It's been three days since I've left my cabin

Your death was my fault, don't try to deny it

I was the one who was careless

I was the one who led the monster towards the innocent

I hope you aren't too mad, I didn't know they were there

I was trying to do the opposite of what happened

I wanted to get the monster away from the mortals

I wanted you to live

I wanted to succeed

But, instead, I failed

Instead of spending my evening with you

I sit here on my bed and cry

I wish that I were dreaming

But life can't always be good

The bad will eventually catch up

And the world will be left here wishing that it was just a nightmare

But it's time for me to face the truth

This is reality

And I am not dreaming

A/N: No happy ending. :/ And yes, there wasn't really a rhyme to that poem. It was a free verse- my favorite type. xD

Anyways, how'd you like it? I think I'm on a role for depressing stories. I'm not sure if I'll publish them. There's going to be a lot of death if I do…
