So this is my first fic for Sweeney Todd, a poem that just came into my head and I felt obliged to write down. I'm not sure what is going to happen with writing Sweeney Todd stories, I may or may not do more.
Now, this poem is in the point of view of one of the characters, it should be fairly clear who and what scene it is.
Enjoy.

As we dance in a circle
time slows,
and I can't help but wonder,
if you love me.
You say we must live
that it won't matter
what I've hid from you.
But you've killed so many,
why not me?
What keeps you
from staining silver
ruby red once more?
We dance
and I wonder,
as time seems to freeze,
what changed from before?
Last time we danced,
we had hope.
We had purpose.
We had,
love?
You looked with admiration
upon me.
Or was it just upon my idea?
Last time we danced,
I loved you.
I still do.
Do you love me?
As we dance,
I see the look in your eyes.
You never saw me
when you looked with seeming love.
You saw her.
I can never replace her.
I shouldn't have tried.
Now I've lost you forever,
and myself.
As we dance our last dance,
I close my eyes,
accepting the inevitable.
When it happens
I scream,
but accept the fire.
I deserve it
for loving you.
We've stopped dancing forever,
neither moving.
Yet I still can't help but wonder,
did you ever love me?

Well? Did you like it, or not? It would be nice if the people who read this review, but if you don't, I kind of understand. It's just something I felt compelled to write, and wanted to share. It would be nice to get reviews though.
Until we meet again,
Shay.
