Final Fantasy VII belongs to its creators and Square Enix. I do not own the rights to the mentioned characters, and if I did (somehow miraculously) have the rights, the characters would have already gone insane from just associating with me.

Five People, Five Different Lives

A cookie to everyone who realizes who is being referred to in the poem!

-o0o-

Red as blood,
Warm as flames.
A mix of apple, cinnamon and spice.
Feathers dark as the midnight sky.
Drama and flair wherever he went.
The one who deserted, first to take flight.

-o0o-

Cold as metal,
Sharp as a knife.
Sterile and clean, not a single defining scent.
Wings clipped and bound, left flightless.
Spreading awe, yet fear, both at the same time.
The one kept in silence, loneliness driving him mad.

-o0o-

Pristine as paper,
Caring like a mother.
Rough, guarded defences, once past you've been accepted.
Condemned by his fate, pure unmarked feathers.
Sense of honour and dreams unwavering.
The one with compassion, the first who died.

-o0o-

Bubbly as wine,
Spreading chaos like a storm.
Brimming with energy like the puppy they described.
Abandoned by the one he called mentor.
Forced to kill the very man who taught him.
The one who died protecting his friends, a hero.

-o0o-

Quiet as stone,
Power gained from sorrow.
Emotions contradicting his very purpose in life.
With only one enemy to face again and again.
He lives out his years, mourning memories he does not remember.
The one who survived, a living legacy.

-o0o-

A/N: And there you have it. I'll just leave this here and hope I haven't caused anyone to cry.
