Pity for Hope
Screams are muted by quick sips of tea
As she watches him march away
Marching away into the trenches,
Duffel bag slung across his back
Her eyes lock on the figure walking
In one piece, to never re-
Oh stop, she thinks, you chose this path
You chose to have your heart gassed
And you knew it would happen, but fell
You knew he would leave, but you fell
Into short bliss, destiny's pain
And when your chance comes, you take it
You grasp it and hold it and love it
With every last bit of yourself
And give up whatever is needed
To deny what fate determined
And far too soon, you see him leave
That flame, that spirit will be stifled
Brought back to you either
With a note from the government
Or worse far worse as a shadow
A puppet that will no longer love you
Shell shocked and blind,
He will never love you
And I accepted that torture
When I first heard your voice
For that single hour with you
I chose to have my heart gassed with yours
I know my love won't return
I have no hope for that
Pity for hope, she's long gone
I swallowed her with the dregs of my tea

: Well…considering there aren't and GW chars, I don't even have to be writing this! Oh well, I'd just like to take this opportunity to tell you that I have a poetry website. Sadly, it doesn't feature any GW poetry. I publish original work, but I'm not gonna create a Gundam Wing section. So, if you wanna check out some non-GW stuff, you can look in my profile for the URL. Also, review this poem, please!
