Author's Note: My first try at poetry. Hope you like it!
You left me when I needed you
I tried to get you to stay
I had to fight the urge to follow you, too
Please, keep me from joining the fray.
I wait for you to return
I wait all night and day
I watch the candles burn
From December to May
You left me
When I needed you most
I can't even pay the fee
For the child when you left the post
She will grow up
Knowing only war and pain
I help her with her cup
As she sits in the rain
Please, my child, grow and thrive
Like the desert's burning sun
My little Anna; stay alive
Just don't run
Your father won't come back
The war rages on
He was one of the pack
That's why we moved to Taiwan
Live my child
Live and shine
Don't be mild
Be a thriving plant; not a vine
I have only one question to ask
What happened to the old days?
Why did we change our ways?
It's like we're in a mask
Author's Note: The final
sentence is referencing to covering up true
feelings. Yuugi died a
while back. Anzu has never gotten over it. The
child mentioned in
the story is a figment of an insane Anzu's imagination.
Anna
doesn't exist. Basically, Anzu went insane after Yuugi's death
and
started imagining that she had a child named Anna.
