Title: Cursed

Genre: Angst/Romance

Rating: T

A/N: I wrote this poem for my English class. You see, on Wednesdays we have to bring in a poem or song lyrics, and evaluate them in front of the class. I decided to bring in this poem, which I hade originally typed up as a prologue for a future story. Funny thing was, when I presented it to the class, even the teacher was impressed. It was probably because I said that this is the first non-school related poem that I had ever written. The teacher approached me the next day about entering myself in a poetry contest. Not that I went, but it must be good if the teacher got so excited over it...

Anyway, please read this poem, and tell me if you like it. Be kind to me 'cause this is the first poem that I've ever actually posted on FF. And for those reading my other stories: I didn't give up on them per se. I'm just... furthering my knowledge on the English language. Yeah, that sounds good... (a.k.a. : I KEEP GETTING DISTRACTED BY OTHER STORIES!!!) And I'm also a beta for my friend's story. For those of you DNAngel fans, go read Ore no Megami and you'll see why I've been so busy.

This poem is very vague. All you have to know is that it's either Harry/? or ?/Harry. No particular rhyme scheme. The ending lines are something like survivor's guilt, so think Post-War. Damn, I just made this an AU, didn't I?

The rain falls gently,

As the end draws near.

Never stopping,

Always running.

My past is my present,

And my future is insignificant.

Never waiting,

Always watching.

As Fate plays the cruel Goddess,

My painful memories consume me.

Never wanted,

Always with me.

A soft wind caresses my face,

Creating the perfect image of sorrow.

My eyes sting as I remember,

The last time I saw you.

Can you feel my regret of living?

Can you tell me why I'm still suffering?

Help me now while I'm still fighting.

Hold me now as the rain falls gently.

And I wonder whose voice is screaming.

Is it mine or is it just wishful thinking?

Can you tell me why this hurts so much?

And why I've been cursed with this life?
