Author's Notes: I supposed Rogue might have read Emily Dickinson, but would write with a modern voice. I discovered Fanfiction poetry existed yesterday and would appreciate your review.

Disclaimer: Rogue and the X-Men are Marvel characters. The Moon belongs to everyone....


Rogue Feelings

Between us -
Crystal.

Invisible, unbreakable.

When I reach out,
I pull back now by reflex.

I've almost given up trying.

It's been so long,
It's almost home.
It keeps them all at bay.

Secretly, a part of each one fears me.

Even him.

The funny part is how I look away -
I could look -
You can look but you better not...

But he's a little like the Sun.
Too beautiful to stare at long.
And live.

I saw Snow White:
And now I envy her
A crystal box could hold her dreams -
Until he came.
