Yay! My first FMA fic! Okay technically this isn't exactly a story, but who cares? I hope you will all enjoy!

Emptiness-Edward's reflection on his mother and what she may think of him now

Oh, Mother…if only you could see me now

I have changed since long ago

My foolish hopes and dreams

Have been replaced with an emptiness that makes me want to scream

Out loud…

I only wish to see your smile and face

But I live with the reality that you're permanently erased

And as I struggle through the worst of storms

I long to be held in your arms and kept warm…

We gave everything to bring you back again

Yet lost more than we could ever imagine

Faced with the most tragic consequence

We knew nothing would ever be as it had once been

And as we've journeyed to become whole again

I've been brought through hell and back again

As my tears fall I know the price I must pay

But I secretly wish you were here to wipe them away

Mother…if you could see me now

I know you wouldn't be proud

I'll trudge on until everything's through

Though guilt will always scar my heart

I'll pursue till the end if only for you…

So…how did you like it? Please give me detailed feedback—I also need some help with ideas for future poems. Though this is centered around Edward, you can suggest other characters. I also need ideas about an angst and/or tragedy fic centered around Edward. Couple ideas are also welcome! Please try to be specific and thanks so much. Ja ne for now—
