A poem - haven't done one of these for a while - rhyming and all.
Well ... hope you enjoy.
FitzSimmons they were known as
One name melded from two
It spoke of loneliness and genius apart
And together miracles they could do
For years they worked together,
Side by side in everything
They liked their lab, alone, together,
And thought not of what the future may bring
It could be a new beginning
The world, a chance to see,
We've reached our limits within these walls,
But who knows what else we could be
Her words were encouraging, sure,
But him, it comforts not,
Who liked his world, stark and safe and still,
But for her he threw in his lot,
They were joined by companions three,
Yet another within a day,
The leader, the soldier, the hacker,
And the enigma that was May,
The days passed quickly, then the weeks,
Airborne, he learnt to enjoy his time,
And then one day it all fell down.
A punishment with no crime
They knew what would soon happen,
Hours, she gave but two
Until a pulse would burst free,
And all of them would be through.
They left her alone after that,
The Scotsman by her side,
But with glass between, it wasn't the same
No matter how he tried.
Fear began to fill her soul,
Fear that turned to anger fast,
But while she gave up, and he fought on,
But the fighting could not last,
You've been beside me the whole damn time
To her, his final plea,
For if she went, he'd soon follow,
For alone, he could not be.
The helmet held their answer,
So the helmet he brought in,
Breaking every rule thought up,
But together they could win.
The cure they thought they'd brought about,
A miracle, even with time not tight,
But the creature started floating,
And from her eyes, did die the light.
Tell my father first,
Come as close to begging, did she
For if for herself she could not be brave,
Then for her family she'd had to be,
She said she need to say goodbye
To Fitz, alone, at last
Thinking of a future, never to come,
And of the years long past.
The leader led them all away
In the eye of the hacker were tears,
The engineer would not stop his words,
As she had to put away her fears,
The fire extinguisher she lifted high,
And brought it down upon his head,
He fell to the floor with a crash, with a thud,
And away from him she fled,
The doors, they open too slow,
An alarm filling the air,
She heard her best friend awaken,
As the noise continued to blare.
She took a moment to compose herself,
For she knew what she had to do,
This may be the end of her song,
But not that of her friends' too.
Turning on the edge now
She knew he would never let her go,
And for him, her final gift,
A smile she would show
The wind caught her much too soon
And pulled her far away
Whispers caught in the back of her throat,
Of words she could never say.
Goodbye, lingered on her lips,
With other words that never made it through,
And the last she wished she could have said,
The last was, I love you.
Thank you for reading, and please review,
