Body Note: I did NOT write this poem, it was written by Post Rapture. However, he is allowing me to use it as a representation for my first fanfic, Love Never Dies.

Green Is the Color of My Hope

When she left me

I didn't know

Whether to cry

Or let my anger glow

Or to hail wrath

Upon those who hath

Brought such death to past

Was I in love?

Or was I not

Was my truest enemy Sephiroth?

Or was it time

That played me a pantomime

And silenced my heart

Before I could take part

By her side

With her hand in mine

With her emerald eyes

So shining

Bright

And kind

Why was I so blind?

To think that such a

Fragile dove

Could last forever

Like the stars above?

One day

She prayed

And the next moment

She went away

It took a sword to sever her mind

It took a curse to melt her heart

But it took her death

To drag us apart

And now I bumble

Through a land, dry of all

That's humble

And graceful

That's pretty

And lovable

And without her

My mind is gray

And I cry a little more

Each passing day

I look to God

Wondering if

I can again elope

With her soul's eyes

Resurrected

And dancing beneath the sky

Till then

I balance at the end of my hope

Visiting her grave

Knowing

Green is the color of my hope
