Tifa sighed. Cloud was about to die, having not recovered from Geostigma. Cloud awoke and said to Tifa, "You're my guardian angel. I love you." Tifa responded, "Oh Cloud, I wish I could simply read a poem I wrote about you." "Shoot." Cloud's response came with a faint smile.


Through think and thin

I will be there

Feeling you healing

A Cloud in despair.

Limping you try to think

Of either me or Aerith

Can you not see Cloud?

Killed she is, get over it!

However you feel about me

Even if you don't

Always, I will love you

Ruin my life, you won't

That you are, my love


Cloud smiled further and said, "Tifa, I love you very much. As my dying words, I want to tell you a poem."

Caringly you sit with me

Lovingly, although

Of the pain I've caused you

U still love me so

Do you ever think of yourself?

So passionate are my feelings for you

Tifa, I love you

Reminiscing on my deathbed

I love you true

Flying away I go, but

Everywhere I go, will be hell without you.


"Goodbye, Tifa." Cloud weakly said as the young hero's soul left for the Promised Land. "Cloud! Noooooooooo!" Tifa cried over his dead body. Cloud's fate was worse than hell, when Loz brutally raped and sodomized Tifa, he watched in horror. And when Tifa's body was found hung over the edge of the Sector 7 plate, he watched in utter horror still. If he'd only listened to her, if he'd only fought with her, he wouldn't have died. His soul was tripping on his own regrets. Letting Sephiroth take control of him, Nibelheim, letting Aerith die, letting himself get Geostigma, it was too much. Now he could never be with Tifa, as her soul joined the Lifestream, he could never join her. So the day after Tifa hung herself, he found a lifeless, soulless, never aging body on Earth. So he, crying, entered that body. He sealed himself in a coffin under Shinra Mansion, to punish himself for the things he has done, for his regrets. One day, however, his coffin was opened by a set of adventurers...

A/N: A couple of poems along with a story opener. If I get at least 5 reviews, I'll continue it. Call it a threat, or whatever. And if you flame, I'll videotape your soul rotting in hell. Lol, just review.
