A/n: Hey, Cherry here! This is my first oneshot for the Madoka fandom, yay! This is just a short poem that takes place in an AU in which Homura makes her wish to save Sayaka instead of Madoka, I may expand this if people want me to. I tried to keep Homura in character as much as possible. Please enjoy

Fool

Sayaka Miki, when will you learn?

Why can't you listen?

I have gone back time after time.

Month after month.

Just to watch you fall in despair.

I remember when I first met you, many moons ago.

I was new to the school and you volunteered to show me around.

I was drawn to you.

You were everything I wasn't

I was pathetic compared to you.

I was clumsy and timid.

You were outspoken and cheerful.

I wished I could be you.

Then, you and Mami Tomoe saved me from that witch.

That was the moment my obsession started.

I was pulled into the chaotic world of magical girls.

On the day Walpurgis Night arrived, Mami Tomoe was killed.

Like the "hero" you are, you tried to fight it alone.

I told you weren't strong enough.

No one would blame you if you ran away.

Why didn't you listen?!

I told that damned Incubator I wanted to save you.

I sold my soul to the devil.

That second time around, I really did think I could save you.

How wrong I was.

From then on, I did everything in my power to rewrite history.

But, every timeline would end up the same.

You would waste your waste your wish on that wretched boy that would never love you.

Mami Tomoe would team up with you.

I would join the team.

Madoka Kaname would follow us on our missions.

We would run into Kyoko Sakura

She would nearly kill you or Mami.

Madoka would make her wish to save you or Mami, depending on the timeline.

Sometimes, there would be a moment of peace.

All of us would sleepover at Mami-san's house.

We would learn of Kyoko Sakura's crush on Mami Tomoe.

But, Mami Tomoe would be killed by a witch

Kyoko Sakura would kill herself shortly after.

Madoka Kaname would go insane and become a witch.

Her pure heart can't take this insane reality.

You would become a witch or Madoka Kaname would kill you.

Sometimes you would make it to Walpurgis Night.

You would give the last Grief Seed to me.

After so many timelines of failure. I became cold.

Numb to everything but you.

I ripped those foolish ribbons out of my hair.

The ones that you called cute.

I am not cute.

The Homura Akemi you once knew is dead.

You started to become distrustful of me.

Driving us further and further apart.

Now, I have shot you to prevent you from becoming a witch.

Here we go again, Sayaka Miki.

I am starting yet another timeline.

You are truly are a fool.

But, yet here I am.

Planting a kiss on your cold lips

Starting another timeline for you.

Pushing myself further into madness.

Because maybe I love you.

Because maybe I'm the fool.
