Author's Note: Okay, this poem is back up now. Thanks to foxx-shadow, Kyomithefox, and Shippou's 7 Treasures for reviewing the first time this poem was on the site.

They're gone

They're gone

They're all falling away

Those left are laughing

They're laughing

My pain is just their play

I'm crying

Just crying

Hoping I can escape

Those I love are dying

They're dying

I'm just hiding under a moth eaten cape

I'm running

Running

I wish I could run from this place so twisted and curled

I'm falling

And falling

Into a whole new world

I'm finally happy

I'm here

I don't have to disappear

I don't mean to sound so sappy

But my dreams are finally coming true

You were lost forever

But I've finally found you

And we're here

Together

Let this feeling last forever

I'm loved by my family

There are people who love and protect me

Years of pain

And being frightened

Are all coming to an end

And though I don't know where my old friends

Who me they used to defend

Are in the least

I'm fine now

I'm out of the belly of the beast

But now I've heard some news

As the unweaving of my world ensues,

I can feel the crystal shatter

I can feel the pieces of my broken heart as they scatter

Shut up!

Leave me alone!

Let me dwell in my newfound home!

Don't crush my heart

And destroy my dreams!

This world isn't as it seems!

It's real!

It's what we all really feel!

It's not a mirage!

It's what our souls really sing!

Listen as the broken bell tries to ring

The world I've created

Is fallen

And gone.

You destroyed me

I want to lie here and die

I can no longer hear my mother's lullaby

She's falling away

One more time

I'm just crying

You wanted back home

I wanted to be left alone

Can't you see?

Ivalice was all our dreams weaved together

It was oh so much better.

But now I'm alone

And I can barely remember

I'm just stuck

In forever winter
