Toboe: A poem on Ed's thoughts about his father. Just watched the episode when he came back to Risinbole and this just came to me! Read and Review Please!
How could you?
You left us when we needed you most
I remember… I remember Mom crying
Crying for you to come back
Crying to someone who couldn't hear
You left us
---
You call yourself a father?
For six long years Mother has been dead
Where were you?
WHERE!
---
When mother died…
---
YOU ARE NOT MY FATHER!
---
A father is someone who holds their child,
Gives them sweets,
And plays with them
---
A father holds his wife and murmurs sweet nothings in here ear
Helps her around the world
And holds her when she is hurt
---
A father does not leave
He doesn't go off and never call,
Or mail,
Or never come back
How could you?
---
Yet you did!
---
Folly
---
You came back to what you thought was a family,
A home
---
I laugh at you
---
Our house is burned,
You came back for your sons,
But one is a statue,
A stone
---
And I,
I am a state alchemist and cold inside
---
Mother…
She is gone
But a creature takes her image,
---
Homunculi
---
Father look at what you have caused
If you had stayed, mother would still be alive
Al would have his real body,
I would be free
How could you?
---
But it isn't to be that way
The past was made and now all I can do is hate
But I won't
---
Father,
I forgive you
