If you're reading this, you are probably going through what many of us are right now: mourning. We are all mourning for Boone. This is his time to shine (not in my usual comedic "Lost" style). Please r and r.

It's not very long. Oh yeah, and when I'm saying "she" or "her", I'm referring to Shannon. I'm sure you know that "he" and "his" is Boone...I mean, it's a lament. Who else died? (I sound so blunt, but it's the way I grieve)

It's rated PG (or now that we've changed the ratings, K+) for some mildly graphic language, nothing too bad. Other than that, I really don't have any warnings.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything.

Lament

Ah, how sweet it was to finally

Feel the pain pass

To feel it cease in the pounding head

The aching limbs

The sickness that crept down his throat as

Blood seeped from his very soul

How sweet it must have been to

Finally let go

To finally feel it all pass

Until his mind began to slowly numb

Never to wake again

Until the clouds overcame his eyes

So he could not see

His lungs weighted

So he could no longer draw in the pain-filled breaths

How sweet it must have been to slip away from pain

What thoughts raced through his mind?

He never thought for himself

She recalls, stroking his forehead

How he wanted to help

To assist

To be wanted

To belong

And he never thought for himself

He was used by others

She thinks, staring into the clear blue eyes that refuse to close

He was taken advantage of

His selflessness

Twisted to their devices

Twisted to hers

How he would do anything

To see her smile

To hear her laugh

To make sure she felt no pain

The pain that was inflicted upon him

That shall never be felt again

And yet how he hated

He hated fiercely

With a passion

With a fire that came only from one

Who has been betrayed

One who has reached out

Only to be pushed away

And he hated her like

He loved her

Is he really gone?

She wonders

His eyes glazed and lifeless, like two blue marbles staring straight

Ahead into her

No,

He will always be there

Even though not walking

Thought not speaking

He will always be there

Because of the marks he made

On their hearts

THE END

Now press that purple button before I start crying.
