The Answer Was You--Trisha's Lullaby

by MegGiry-TheAlbino

Trisha and Hohenheim muse on how they fell in love, and Trisha keeps her promise as she gives her lasts words to Ed and Al. Angsty poetry.

A/N: Alright of course fanfiction wouldn't be working the day I say I'm going to update. I will soon update the cost of life with about ten chapters so….BE PREPAAARRREEEDDD.

Enough Lion King. Let's get down to business.

TO DEFEAT. THE HUNS.

Someone shoot me.

Anyway, got bored in English and I wanted a TrishaxHohenheim fic, so I did this, and it basically ended up just being her death scene that I liked so it ends there.

Bold=Hohenheim

Italics=Trisha

I've spent my life wandering

Pointlessly ambling

My mind and my body not one

My legs trudge on as my mind reels back

What does it mean to move forward?

It's amazing that I've been a million places

And lived through thousands of moons

But I've always wondered my purpose of living

Asking and never having a soul of company

Then rolling one day, drunk, through a small town

And all of my waiting, crying and asking

All of my wondering, begging, even praying

My eyes fly open and I see how blind I've been

Here for moment and gone the next,

The answer always was you

I grew in a small town, loved in a small town

I was born to be that kind of girl

Still I spent every night in virgin white night gown

And a porcelain doll in my arms

I longed for adventure, longed for a child,

For a lover from afar

Suddenly came, fallen like an angel,

Fallen from the sun

And I knew that my questions and prays had been answered

Why you finally met my eyes

All of the time I spent dreaming and wishing

Believing and praying

I knew that God had come through

Everything I wanted, needed and more,

Darling the answer was you

Now you're just a child

But we don't have much time

And it's all we've ever could've dreamed

But your parents don't like me

But I love you

And that's all we really need

But now our son's on the way and I don't have much time

Tell me why do you want to leave?

Edward and Alphonse, stay by your mother,

oh why is the light starting to fade?

But all the waiting I did didn't save me,

But, Dear, I kept my promise

Hold Mommy's hand tight, don't let the bugs bite.

Edward, take care of Al!

I'm still holding on, but you're still gone

Oh look, my two little suns….

I waited and wished, but I can't do much more

Oh, who will look after my boys?

All of my crying, waiting, and watching,

Oh, what good is praying if there is no God?!

Ed, keep moving forward,

No, Daddy's not coming

Now hush, the room is so cold…

I love you so much, even if this is it,

Can I say I waited this long?

I'm not angry, and I'll be waiting

Until my sun has set

And after everything, waiting, praying, and dying

The answer always was you

A/N: Wanted to address some things in the poem so you don't think I'm dumb.

The two suns comment does refer to Ed and Al, but also to their eyes, which are gold, like Van's.

Again I use the symbolism with 'until my sun has set' referring to both Trisha's death, and 'her sun' referring to Hohenheim, and ultimately his death.

I'll get this to ff as soon as possible, but Blogger has the first look today!
