Author's Note:
Hey guys! This is my first fanfiction ever and I'm really excited. This was originally part of a poetry assignment for English but when I finished, I realized this could be a really tragic ending for our favorite Super Seal. *Sobs* Now because this wasn't originally a fanfiction, there are some AU elements, but Steve is mostly in character, aside from his sudden Shakesperean urges. I don't want to be specific, because that would give away too much. Just give it a shot! (pun not intended)
Wishing for Yesterday
Two clicks, and I fall to the ground,
My hands clutching my chest,
Desperate to take a breath,
If only I could be so lucky.
Everything looks so fast, but time feels so slow.
And I see her, amber eyes gleaming brighter yet,
As we behold each other in a single moment,
One long awaited moment,
If only we could be so lucky.
And I see our creation, my Nadya
Having lit up the world for just 3 months now,
Has only made mine for one day.
I could hold her close once more,
If only I could be so lucky.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."
I whisper this over and over, a statement of my undying guilt,
Until my brother rushes over, and time speeds up again.
And then I remember the red,
And I see myself lying in pools of maroon, flowing still
He so desperately struggles to stifle that stream,
If only he could be so lucky.
I slowly reach my hand to his, shaking my head,
Willing him to just let it be. He shouts,
"We leave no man behind, Steve!
You're not dying today you stupid son of a-"
But he doesn't finish, as I shut my eyes to this world one last time,
For I could never be so lucky.
A/N: Yeah I know. Sad stuff. Please read and review! It's due Tuesday and I want to revise it if anyone thinks of something. Hope you enjoyed!
