Author's Note: This is just a random poem I wrote in the middle of the night - I don't really like it much, but meh... not my best, but I hope you enjoy it all the same. I would appreciate any reviews, especially constructive criticism.
This poem is written from Al's point of view, talking about the sacrifices Ed made to keep him in their world. And for those of you that don't know (sorry to insult anyone's intelligence hereXD), niii-san means older brother.
Dedication: To Sam and Bee. Thanks you guys X3
Niii-san
You gave yourself to bind my soul,
Helped me once more, true to your role,
In your blood, your pain, your last stand,
To me you extended your hand.
You marked the seal with your own blood,
Taught me more than I understood,
The crimson lines drawn precise,
The death rite of your sacrifice.
Your courage gave me form once more,
Returned me from beyond the door,
Using techniques you did not know,
Broke the stream of life's natural flow.
My saviour, yet still my niii-san,
Young in heart, yet somehow a man,
Whatever paths cruel fate has crossed,
I will work to bring back what's been lost.
