Tears
| by Ravenous |
Wee, first time I decided to use html for ffnet. (So if it looks sloppy, yeah, justifiable) This is also my first poem ficcie, one shot, according to Raven's P.O.V as he falls for who else :) but Van. There is a story in it, and I'm wondering if making it as a one shot is a good idea. I feel there will be a continuation, like Van's answer to Raven's personal conflict. Bleh. What do you people think?

I made a vow long ago;
No mortal eye shall ever behold my weeping, ever.
A pity.
You happened to me.
You stood alone, quietly watching me
In the guise of a comrade, yet with the eyes of a stranger
"Look away," I whispered,
"And don't pretend you care."
Despite my heart's pretense of anger,
You were witness to the truth in my bidding;
A frail, vulnerable child without pride
A scarred soul sheltered by wrathful demeanor
You came to your feet---and touched me.
Your fingers dared graze the face of a beast
And I denied your warmth
False compassion, I did not need.
What a profound sight it was!
Two souls so distant in mind and heart,
Yet----together.
Madness. Yes, that was what it was.
It was all too comforting
I, a menace to the common folk,
THE EPITOME OF ALL TWISTED HATRED
---cradled in the gentle arms of a familiar rival
Not once have I sought refuge in my malicious quest
And yet I found you
Never have I thought twice in dispensing hurt and suffering
And yet, I deny myself in your presence
Did I deserve what you made me feel?
Did I not cause you pain even once?
Why did you do such a thing?
Why mock my humility?!
I was not ready for such emotion
Perhaps, I will never be
No feeble human sentiment must plague me
I refuse to fall in love
In another life time, perhaps
Where I might be reborn to seek your warmth again
But for now, forgive me
Forgive me for the night I took your heart away...

I really do feel this has to
be continued. Do you? If I get three reviews, then yeah. Need esteem boost, the
poem is a result of some personal---erm--events ^^ *looks at review stats*
