This is a fanfic poem for the manga. I wrote this from Chrno's point of view. In volume 8 chapter 51 Rosette's time runs out and she 'dies' in Chrno's arms. I wrote this envisioning what Chrno might have been thinking at that time.
Getting Her Back:
The realization hit me harder than anything had ever before
It took only a few seconds to register the fact that I didn't want to live anymore
She lay lifeless in my arms, smiling just moments ago
There won't be a day that I won't miss her so
My heart wrenched with pain as I saw her peaceful face
Water trickled from my eyes like from a broken vase
Memories of us together flooded my sight
We belonged with each other; it had felt so right
All those times spent bickering with shouts
We used it well; I have no doubts
Her once restless body now lay so still
Her once careless lips no longer to shrill
My heart throbs as I hold her now
Her life now gone, I take my bow
I will not stay and live alone
For there is no way that I could ever atone
For taking this sweet and innocent life
This woman that I wished to be my wife
There's nothing I can do to bring her back
The determination to go on is something I lack
I will no longer hear her musical voice
But I guess that was my choice
She had begged me to help her save her brother
I should have said no rather than smother
Her life with a burden such as mine
I wish that I had been given some sort of sign
To tell me that her life was closing
Instead of my surprise at her soul's disposing
But wait, is there yet still hope?
With her death, I don't have to cope?
Her soul is floating and waiting for me
Longing to live again and be free?
What must I do? Just tell me how!
I would give anything to be with her now
I will win the race to pandemonium's head
And I shall leave Aion in my stead
No one will take her away from me
From no fearsome danger will I flee
She was gone, but I will get her back
No matter what, I will get her back
I know it's not that great, but this is all my inspiration could come up with at the time lol. If anyone else is upset with the endings of the anime and the manga, you're not alone! I was about to cry when I watched the anime. Then I read the manga, hoping it would end better; it kinda does, but I was still upset. I wanted them to live happily ever after! Sorry... I kinda sorta got off track, didn't I? My bad! Please review!
