Her breath grows rapid. A silver, point-like object has just slashed through her stomach and the blood wells up, bubbling up and spilling over like a fountain. It gushes out of her mouth, and she lets out a cry of shock, and pain.
In a second, it is all over. The sword is gone, and the man dressed in black stands behind her, chuckling darkly to himself, an evil smile playing across his pale face.
And then…Cloud.
She knows then that he loves her. At that moment, she feels it, tearing her apart with sadness. His tears splash onto her dirtied dress, as he takes one limp hand into his. Her lifeless body dangles from his arms, where he grips it tightly against his chest, and he buries his face into her hair. Her ribbon lies several feet away, hair now floating down in honey-brown sections. The evil man is gone, escaping before he could be shredded to pieces.
He gives her face one last agonizing look, as he lays his love to rest in the gently rippling water. Time seems to stop. He reluctantly lets go of the girl, tenderly brushing her face before sending her down into the abyss of an endless sea. The heart she had once filled is now gone, squeezed out of him and lying broken on the floor, barely still pulsing from the last touches of her life that echo in his mind.
It is a cruel, merciless world.

Alright, this was just a oneshot I had in my mind last night and decided to write. It's how envision the scene in FF VII where Cloud lays Aerith's body to rest. I tried to be poet but it didn't work very well. ^_^; I might re-do this later.
Edit: I realized this is kind of similar to my friend Shiver122's oneshot, Weep. It's Zack x Aerith, and quite good if I do so say myself.
