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!
