A/N: This is not quite how I see Roy's mind; I picture him as being less honest, even in his own head. This reveals how much of a pathetic Roy/Riza shipper I am. The best stanzas are the first two, as they were the only ones that just popped into my brain. I had to think about the others. No title, sorry.

To heck with all this protocol

I want to clutch you close to me

Protect you from our enemies

And from our own military

..

'Burn and crush my back' you said

But I can't do that to you

Because in destroying that tattoo

I could destroy you too

..

Now there's nothing to take my mind off you

In this empty office by myself

I'm too afraid to talk to someone else

And I wonder if you're lonely by yourself

..

Did I mistake duty for love?

What did I see in your despairing eyes?

That night's clouded with pain and fires

Am I telling myself lies?

..

I won't let you go before me

Though I know it's just asking for strife

I won't let you lose your hold on life

I can still remember you just inches from Lust's knives

..

I'm not asking you to love me back

Though I wish that you would

And if you did I doubt that I could

Forgive myself, even if I should

..

We're both killers but I've killed more

You saw massacre in Ishval

I did it though I hated it all

I stood there and I watched them fall

..

Sometimes I truly hate myself

But I won't give up my dreams

You're too wrapped up in my schemes



I say nothing for the sake of my team

..

I said I'd become a leader

And this I swear I'll do

And I'll make that statement true

And I say it now: I'm in love with you
