A/N: Hey there. This is just a little something I wrote between the next chapter I'm working on for Fighting Back. I have all sorts of Ideas, just don't know how to put it together just yet. Anyways. This is a poem I wrote. And to be honest... I don't really have a special character for it. I thought it somehow suits Cloud, when he was younger and didn't had friends. Then Tifa became friends with him, and it was almost to hard to believe for him someone really cared about him. You could also look at it from Tifa's point of view.. You know what... I'll just shut up now... See what you think of it. Lol, I just write it... Please R&R. Thanks!

Alone in the night, I sat in the rain.

Hoping that somehow it would wash away my pain.

The constant ache of misery and despair

Brought me down, 'cause no one was there.

I pretended to laugh.

While deep inside I was crying.

Saying I was fine, while actually

I was dying.

I never know, how to say the words.

Tell other people, how much it really hurts.

I keep it to myself, not willing to let it out.

instead of talking, I just scream and shout.

Being so scared, and no one even knows.

They can't comfort you, your pain doesn't shows.

You wish someone would just hold you, and tell you it would be alright.

That's what I whished for, when I sat alone that night.

Yet nobody came, because no one knew.

All this pain, that I was going through.

Now it's to late, I don't have trust anymore.

I'm just numb, everything is sore.

Sometimes I imagne, that one friend at my side.

Feeling safe, proctected, it will be alright.

Yet still I wonder, what they say, is it true?

Or are they just lying, trying to get to you.

I know, it's weird, and that I can trust you with my life.

But so easily it is, to just stab me with a knife.

I wouldn't even cry, probably not even bleed.

'Cause the friend that stabbed, was the friend that I need.

I wouldn't know what to feel, If you'd betray me like this.

Not knowing how to react, was it something that I miss?

I think I would be devastated, falling to pieces.

Maybe that's how it feels, when your best friend releases.

That night I thought through.

And all I thought about, was you.

I couldn't help but wonder, how much you really cared.

If you would protect me, when I was in danger or scared.

I couldn't find the answers, I think I'll just have to believe.

That you will stay with me forever, that you'll never leave.

Can you just tell me one time, what you really feel?

Am I really a friend of yours, a true friend for real?
