Here is a one-shot for Fullmetal Alchemist!! I apologize to my "Saving This World" reviewers for not updating. This is just something to get my muse sparked again. So, I hope you enjoy!

Hurt

Why do you have to go?

---------------------------------------

No matter what I act like on the outside, every time you walk down that path, I'm torn up inside.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You have no idea how hard it is to keep myself looking cheerful everyday.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have to remind myself of every hardship you've been through, and what everyone else is going through.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I die inside every time I hear about one of your close death encounters.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I sometimes wonder if one day, you'll just never come back at all.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't know if I could depend on what small hope there is of you returning.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You don't want me to act like this though.

---------------------------------------------------------------

You're comforted by my smile, by my laughs, by my cheery attitude.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If I were to take all these thoughts and tell you them, how would you react?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You once told me my hands were for helping others and not killing.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What about you? Are you saying you're a murderer?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hearing you put yourself down hurts me…

-----------------------------------------------------------

Ed…when will you know I'm hurting inside?

Well…I hope you liked it. I think I've discovered I have a knack for writing emotional and slightly angsty papers and stories. I hope you review to tell me what you think, and thankee-sankee for reading!!! (bows)
