Pairings: pick your favorite (I had one in mind, but any will do)
Warnings: angst, POV, poetry
Spoilers: nope
Disclaimers: Don't 'em, never will. * sigh *
Feedback: Yes!Yes!Yes! and might I add Yes!
Notes: This is a poem that kind of sprang from nowhere one night, and kind of evolved. It's set up so that the repeating line is not necessary, except for the first and last times, but the line does add something to the poem. The lines between the two repeating lines go together on occasion, but it's never really confusing. Wow, that's one long explanation for a poem. Well, hope you enjoy.
Through My Fingers
I let you slip through my fingers
Something too precious to lose
I let you slip through my fingers
Why did you make me choose?
I let you slip through my fingers
Your love or the door
I let you slip through my fingers
A home or the war
I let you slip through my fingers
Your joyous laugh
I let you slip through my fingers
Or a blood bath
I let you slip through my fingers
I chose the wrong way
I let you slip through my fingers
How I rue that day
I let you slip through my fingers
I decided on blood
I let you slip through my fingers
Instead of our love
I let you slip through my fingers
I now pay the price
I let you slip through my fingers
Of my foolish choice
I let you slip through my fingers
The war is done
I let you slip through my fingers
The battle won
I let you slip through my fingers
The soldier is dead
I let you slip through my fingers
No more bathed in red
I let you slip through my fingers
I am alone
I let you slip through my fingers
Can I atone?
I let you slip through my fingers
Will you forgive?
I let you slip through my fingers
Will you let me live?
I let you slip through my fingers
I've come crawling back
I let you slip through my fingers
You're all that I lack
I let you slip through my fingers
I seek forgiveness I don't deserve
I let you slip through my fingers
Forever yours to hold in reserve
I let you slip through my fingers
Now I am in your arms
I let you slip through my fingers
Subject to all your charms
Once I let you slip through my fingers…
Now never again.
AN: Like I said at the top, really any pairing will work with this, though one of them really has to be a soldier, but I did have one in mind. I don't want to say which one, but can you guess? Anyhoo, tell me what ya think? I'd really like to know.
