So yeah, this is based off chapter 39 of the manga, which is written by the wonderful Kiromu Arakawa. So yeah, all the characters, and the plot are hers. The song, yeah not mine either, it's by Switchfoot. I don't own any of it, this is just my interpretation, which I do own. And one final note, for those of you who don't know, its Riza's POV, and the homunculus is Lust, and there are…
SPOILERS!

Yesterday is wrinkle on your forehead,
Yesterday is a promise that you've broken.
Don't close your eyes, don't close your eyes.
This is your life, and today is all you got now. Oh.
And today is all you'll ever have,
Don't close your eyes, don't close your eyes.
I almost fell to my knees the instant she said it. The mere thought was enough to make my breath catch. It couldn't be true, it was a lie. I was supposed to protect him, it was my sworn duty, hadn't I always done it in the past? There was absolutely no way she could be telling the truth; but what if she was?
I tried to confirm it, thinking it through out loud, asking for some kind of confirmation. If this…. thing was what was responsible, I knew I would lose it. That responding smirk was what finally did it, I felt something inside me snap.
The reverberating, "BITCH!" seemed to come from somewhere else as I felt myself fire. I just kept pulling the trigger, when my clip was spent, I reached for the concealed pistol I always carried, and shot her again. I shot her again and again, and again. Each shot not only pierced that bitch of a homunculus, but also seemed to pierce my own heart, shredding it to tiny pieces as my ammunition finally ran out.
This is your life, are you who you wanna be?
This is your life, are you who you wanna be?
This is your life,
Is it everything you dreamed that it would be?
When the world was younger,
And you had everything to lose…
"Foolish and weak," she said, "You sad, living thing."
I fell to my knees, feeling numb, and deciding that, she was right. She was a homunculus, immortal and invulnerable to my bullets. The one called Gluttony had shown me as much before. The only reason I was here now was because… because the Colonel came, and saved me.
Colonel…
This wasn't how it was supposed to be…
I'm sorry.
