I Left Him

A poem sort thing, expressing Cloud's emotions of leaving Zack the way he did

I left him alone,

In the rain, pounding on his empty body.

I left him alone,

Where too many bullet holes to count covered his chest.

The rain poured,

As I cried out, his death filling the world with the color of blood.

The rain stopped,

As I trudged along, dragging his sword, his protection.

It didn't protect him,

He still was shot. Over, and over.

I should have protected him,

But I couldn't. I don't think.

I wouldn't know. Because I didn't.

Why do the good ones always leave?

They never live long enough.

He saved me, I couldn't do the same for him.

I wish I could of.

He'd done the same for me, many many times.

Me? Never for him.

He shouldn't have died.

I should of.

But I didn't

He did

Because I wasn't there.

He was.
