I Am the Rain

by head4heart

This is a poem I wrote about Aeris’ death. It’s about how she feels when she’s praying at the church and knows she’s going to die. Not exactly cheery stuff, but it’s a good poem, if I may say so myself. Please read and review!

I AM THE RAIN

Dedicated to Aeris Gainsborough. This was posted on the 22nd of February, rumoured to be Aeris' birthday.

I am the rain,

That falls in of time.

I am the darkness,

Your hand clutches mine.

I am the tightness,

The fear felt inside.

I am the longing,

You felt when you cried.

I am the rupture,

The scar on your skin.

I am the knife,

That cuts from within.

I am the tension,

The ending is near,

I am the deepest,

Darkest of fear.

I am the cry,

Desperation is now,

I am the lover,

To come rescue you now.

I am the blade,

That cuts through your soul,

I am the love,

That has taken its toll.

I am the flowers,

On which you lie,

As your lips part,

I am your last sigh.

A/N: Sorry, this is a long author's note explaining why some things are in the poem.

I am the rain, that falls in of time: I know this line doesn't really make sense, but anything goes in poetry.

I am the darkness, your hand clutches mine: okay, this is a really desperate motion by Aeris because she wants Cloud to be there to protect her so much that she imagines she's holding his hand.

I am the knife that cuts from within: this is not actually when she dies; this is one of those pangs of desperation and fear that you feel when you know you're going to die.

And that's about all.

Hope you enjoyed, please review!
