Disclaimer- Don't own square, am poor, don't sue and blah blah blah....*although owning square would be nice*

this poem isn't really meant to be romantic, i just think Arith would feel this way even if she was in love with...........Squall!! (Okay, that was unexpected...) If it sounds romantic......*shrugs*.....



The real you...

*title not very good, couldn't think of a good one...*

I wait here for a chance to see you,

to tell you what I know

That I see the thoughts you hide,

that you hope never show

In fear of punishment from evil

that seems will never let you go

I sat upon the alter praying for a hope

of a holy chance to undo certain doom

You came and went and in the space

of a scream, I was slain

I suppose its one of those things

that gods and fate ordains

I've watched you since that time,

and seen your lurking thoughts

You never wanted to hurt me or the

other innocents lost

You see yourself a devil, a demon

unshakeably cruel

The confusion and hatred that courses

through your veins is not your own

Ancient evil plays with you, like a dog

and it's favorite bone

Your actions and your words, mistakably not own

Your mind clings to life, as if it's a chore...



One-winged angel, your captivity ends soon,

with the swing of a blade and the howl of a moon

I know those who desire to slay you,

they live in ignorance of your struggles

Yet, in their ignorance they will free your soul

much faster and freer than knowing you...

Knowing that you cry with every wound delt,

that you mourn every death intensely

That you've never been loved,

and will never know it...

Angel, I cry for you tears of sorrow

that stream down my face

Never, even for my worst enemy,

would I wish your fate...

But, in the end you'll find your true home

amongst the stars and the midnight sky.....

I only ask, why do you have to die...?



*sniff* If you need a tissue, here's one! *hands reader a tissue*

I dunno about you, but that made me very sad.....!

Thanks for reading,

be a pal and review it!
