Why Don't You See Me?

A/N: So few poems about Cloti… And Claerith. At the same time.

Yeah… It's about Cloud and Tifa's relationship after Aerith's death.

You asked me the meaning of life and love
Without the one you cared the most about
Peace comes on the wings of a dove,
Yet you still feel bitter enough to shout

You blame yourself, but the blame is misplaced- It's his fault
He killed her, leaving you all alone
Locking your tender emotions locked inside a steel vault
Turning your once warm heart into ice cold stone?

You watched her die, you only see the light leaving her eyes
But don't you see me? I'm still here- I pick up your scattered pieces
He felt the need to take her from you, in an odd way- to end your lies
You ask for my help, and my small desire for you only increases

Without her, you asked me about the meaning of love and this life
I couldn't answer truthfully- But I will be here through your strife
