A/N: Gibbs talking to Shannon about when he left and then when he found out about her and Kelly. Spoilers for Hiatus.
A/N2: Thanks go to NCIS-JaneDoe6247-NCIS. I saw on her page that she is a Gibbs/Shannon shipper, which got me thinking, which got me writing . . . Check out her stuff, she's a brilliant author.
I Cried
I knew that neither,
Bullets nor bombs,
Could keep me away,
From you for long,
So when I left,
I held back my tears,
I didn't want to add,
To our daughter's fears,
I wanted to be strong,
I didn't want to cry,
You looked so beautiful,
When you said goodbye,
I crouched by our little girl,
I whispered in her ear,
She smiled bravely at the words,
She wanted to hear,
I lifted your face to wipe away,
The tears you tried to hide,
I did everything I should have done,
Except I never cried.
-----
They looked so sad,
When they called me away,
They told me I didn't,
Need to stay,
They said they were sorry,
I didn't care,
I blamed them and myself,
For my not being there,
I was running through the desert,
I was sobbing as I ran,
I didn't think about suicide,
Or any form of plan,
I survived the explosion,
I woke to live for you,
I think that I did,
What you'd want me to do,
It wasn't harsh enough for justice,
But at least I tried,
And all I can do now,
Is hope you know I cried.
Pretty please review.
