AUTHOR'S NOTE: Heeeeeyyy! :D I know, this isn't the best idea 'cause I've other stories to work on, but this idea just sprang to life in the back of my mind and was niggling at me since early this morn, so I just had to write it down. I don't normally do poems, so this is also ultra-special to me! ;P I hope y'all read and review! -Bloody S.

one

All is lost.
Why do we struggle on?

He is gone.
My helping hand,
The one who stayed,
Always.

Through the thick
And the thin
You were with me.
Now you are gone
And I am falling;
Falling…falling…

All is do we struggle on?
We will all die,
Sooner or later.

It's strange to be without you;
My light when it was dark;
My laugh when it was grave;
And my heart when I had none.

Where are you?
Tell me, please.
They think I'm strong,
But you know I'm not.
Come back—I need you.

All is lost.
Why do we struggle on?
When we know we'll die
One of these days.

Jason, come back.
I try to be strong
But it's so hard.
'Specially without you.
Come back. Please.

Does it hurt, dying?
I don't care if it does;
I've had my share of pain.
One more overdose won't hurt—
After all, it's my last one.

I think you're dead
But then I recall:
Your hand in mine;
Your eyes on me;
Your heart of gold—
And mine of steel.

Come back to me, Grace.
I seem like stainless steel
But you know I'm not.
I try to be strong,
But you know I can't.
Not with you gone.

All is lost.
Why do we struggle on?
This is meaningless.
Life
Laughter
Love.
It will fade away
All of it;
For everyone.
Someday.
For me, it's already lost.
I need you with me
At my side, forever.
Always.

You said that to me once.
You said, "Always, Reyna.
"Always."

Did you mean it?
I never said it to you,
But if you came back,
I would—a thousand times over.
Just to tell you how much I need you.

If you came back,
I would smile
And say, "I love you"
And, "Always, Jason;
"Always."

Because I do, Grace—
I do love you.
It's taken me so long

To figure it out.
Too long; too late.

All is lost now.
Lost to the wind.
Why do we love
When we know it's not for ever?

How do we dare
When we know
We're only gonna
get
hurt?

The warzone of love
Is deadly territory.
You stand in range
Of an enemy's sword
And hope that they
Will have mercy.

I took you for granted
And for that, I am sorry.
Please forgive me.
If you don't, I don't know what I'll do.
I can't live without you,
Jason Grace.
I love you.

Do you love me back?
It's okay if you don't—
Your life is all that matters.

Do you still remember
The day that we first met?
You saw through my brave act
And you told me to smile.

All is lost.
Always.
Unless you return.

Come back to me,
And I will smile
And I will laugh
And I will love…

Always.
