Disclaimer: I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist, though if I did Maes would still be alive an waving photo's in everyone's faces and Riza and Roy would be sharing a bedroom by now.
Summary: Just a brief piece of poetry I wrote. Riza's POV on her duty to Roy.
A Hawk's Eye
Amber tainted with blood
Her eyes pierce his soul
Promises made, yet to be fulfilled
Her body in front of his
Flames dance like butterflies
Leaving footprints up her back
Guilt playing heartstrings
A sad tune fills the room
Secrets written on flesh
Reason far from truth
Stand alone in the darkness
Waiting for an embrace
For someone to wash the tears away
Calling from the depths of longing
She steps up to follow a dream
A dream she never imagined
Faith placed in an unlikely figure
To follow the dreams of another
She picks up a gun and fires
Settled like a stain upon her skin
Sin is such a hardy thing
Wash and scrub all you like
But the intent will always remain
No matter in which mirror
She sees her reflection cast
Her eyes are always stained with blood
Amber tainted with sin
