Disclaimer: I do not own Baten Kaitos, any of the characters, or the Lava Caves. I do own Rain. Well, not the kind that falls from the sky. The spirit.
Author's Note: This is a one-shot poem about that one time in the Lava Caves. You should all know what I'm talking about, unless you just started playing the game. If so, you shouldn't read this poem. It's very spoilery. Anyway, this is told from the point of view of the spirit. I named mine Rain. I don't know why, it just sounded cool when I got the game. I was so sad I burst into tears when Kalas betrayed everyone! This is a poem about Rain thinking back on what she felt in those caves.

You Knew
I'll never forget that look on your face
And that gleeful, frightening laughter.
You're new white wings seemed stained with blood
From the fire the flowed around us.
-
I could see their shock and so could you
As you took your place, side by side
With that white haired girl, Melodia.
Their shock as you betrayed them.
-
You cast me out like an old broken blade
That no longer serves any purpose.
That hurt me more than you
Could ever possibly imagine.
-
You knew they trusted you
You knew I trusted you.
But you turned around anyway
And left us alone.
-
Your mind held a madness I'd never felt before
A mix of power and desire for revenge
But underneath the raging madness
I felt traces of regret.
-
Poor Xelha, so lost and alone.
You knew her feelings for you
Yet you laughed at her pleas
And turned away.
-
You broke our trust in you
With simple words and actions.
You shattered our hearts
More brutally than any blade could.
-
You were so good at hiding it,
Hiding your plans.
It stayed a secret from the beginning
Until it stood before us with shinning white wings.
-
You knew they trusted you
You knew I trusted you.
But you turned around anyway
And left us alone.
-
You had a chance to come back to us
Before you touched those cards.
I remember your hesitation, your sudden doubts
Before you accepted the blazing power.
-
You were so calm when you told me
There was no place for me here.
You were so calm when you decided
To cast me out forever.
-
Even though your life was hard
You only made it harder.
You had friends, people who cared.
Yet you rejected them when you needed them most.
-
We want you to know
That no matter what you do
Or how you act
We will always be here for you.
-
You knew they trusted you
You knew I trusted you.
But you turned around anyway
And left us alone.
-
You knew all along.

That was my first try at both a Baten Kaitos Fanfiction and a FF poem. How was it? I hope it didn't suck to badly. Reviews would make me so happy. I would prefer it if you didn't flame me, but it doesn't really matter. Flaming would just waste your effort. But reviews are always nice. I hope you didn't feel like you wasted your time reading this. Thank you so much!
