A/N: Another poem...I bet I'm getting good with this...not. T_T

W-well, it just seemed to fit them so much. I actually wrote this for..well, I dunno. I didn't intend it to be for RusLiet, which is strange, 'cos I realised - a lot later- that it seems made for them.

Ah..and to clear up the Timeline, its during/just after Lithuania left the USSR.

Fuck you, whoever you are, for screwing up one of my OTPs...

Date: 6th October, 2010.


Nothing lasts, you know that, don't you?

But sometimes it feels good

To think something does

Ignoring the truth

That is right in front of my eyes

All of a sudden - too many answers

Even to the questions I dared not ask -

Fever-glazed eyes, tear stains -

Aren't these all a bit cliched?

We always knew we'd be torn apart -

Never even expected you to return my love -

Thought it was all just a game -

But now that you're gone I find -

Why am I sad? - The sky is crying

And the salty water mingling with the rain -

These aren't tears-

I won't feel pain

A mask of smile, mind expressionless

I made a promise never to cry

Then why this emptiness?

This silent, but consistent pain

Buried like a knife in my heart

This warmth on my cheek, the saltiness

No, these aren't teardrops.

I'll be happy for you

Even if your progress

Has left me dallying behind

And even if I can't keep up with you

You know I'll be praying, won't you?

The bond we shared

These unexplored feelings-

I will let them die an untimely Death

Never cleared -

Let them in the Dark forever -

I can live on with the Memories

But not Regrest

Lets rip our Present to shreds

If it gets you closer to your Future.
