A/N: One of the only good FFVII poems I ever wrote and so far the only one ever posted. I'm finally getting back into poetry.

Disclaimer: I don't own any character from FFVII they belong to Square-Enix.


Gazing vast across the oceans sky

Crimson orb in his eye

lost in the darkening depths

nowhere to run

nowhere to rest

the weight of the end

deepening the vast fizzer

cloaked in a in waterfall of red

grief more powerful than one can measure

a shower of blood

screaming voices calling out

demon claws scraping the mud

hellish cries all about

weary of every sign

one foot in the grave

everywhere things to remind

but nothing left to save

darker, darker the blackness still

beastly eyes watching

waiting for the moment to kill

a stripe of gold

a river of red

a silent flash of silver

then everything is dead

"you can't save me

not right now

don't say sorry

but please don't frown"

a snatch of black

the light is gone

he can't go back

but he can't move on

trapped in the middle

endless resistance

can't solve the twisted riddle

caught up in the reminiscence

of a story never told

the horrific scene not revealed

unable to shatter the mold

not able to break the seal

lost to world around

once missing

but never found

but he can't keep dismissing

...a shot has been fired

a life has been taken

you can't relit a drown fire

nor fix this level of mistake

a innocent martyr

soul of a demon, heart of a man

there is no better reminder

of what he once had

blood upon the walls

a scalpel upon the table

bullet in through the star that shined

down upon my bloody valentine…


A/N: I got the idea from the 'Manor of Despair' stage in DOC.
