A/N: This is my entry for floridapanther28's contest on her forum, Sweet Revenge. Enjoy! :)

EDIT: I added to the ending because it wasn't long enough. Sorry! If you read this, just skip to the ending, after the poem.

Nothing hurts me.

Scissors don't injure me in the slightest.

Nor does an aggravated honeybee.

Well…

There is one thing.

It doesn't make me feel too swell.

Seeing them together tears me apart.

The ache is worse than anything.

I think they've broken my heart.

Hers are crystal pools of water.

His remind me of blooming irises.

Mine match the fur of an otter.

I feel nearly selfish.

Or rather self centered.

By simply possessing that particular wish.

Only one aspiration shall remain.

It'll last perpetually.

Never will it wane.

My one and only hope

Is simply to be with her.

Without the need of a rope.

I don't want to intervene.

To interrupt their peaceful relationship?

That would be quite mean.

A kid if they had one; I pondered about it.

Would it be sarcastic, like him?

Or like her: sweet and pretty, but unable to sit?

I try to avoid it, though.

I do not succeed at that.

It makes me feel pretty low.

I really wanted to show her my blue feather.

But Chase was my best friend.

I couldn't just make him feel under the weather.

So at this time I sit and wait.

But no one ever comes by.

It's far too late.

I no longer have a cause to cheer.

I don't have someone to look at with affection.

This is why I'm about to tear.

She was the one and only one meant for me, there was no lie.

I, Kasey, loved Maya with all my heart.

Unfortunately my chance slipped right by.

END

Kasey, breathing heavily, laid down his worn out and sweat coated pencil. His eyes scanned down the paper in search of grammatical and spelling errors that could've easily been made. When none had been found, he leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.

It kinda feels good to write out what I'm feeling. I haven't done it in a while, come to think of it.

"Ya know, Kasey, you've been moping around for way too long. I don't mind helping out with farm chores, but Bessie the cow really doesn't like me!" chirped a nearby sprite with green hair. He fluttered for a moment before settling down on Kasey's shoulder with a heaved sigh.

"Sorry, Finn."

"Hmph! You should be, after that stupid cow nearly ripped my wing off!"

Knock, knock.

"Hey, were we expecting anyone?" Kasey asked curiously, eyeing the door. He glanced at Finn questioningly.

"I don't think so."

The farmer stood up and stretched for several moments. He then plodded over to the door, set his hand on the handle, and pulled it open.

There stood a girl.

The most beautiful girl he'd ever seen. She had long, flowing black hair, part of it braided delicately. Her eyes- they were not crystal pools of water. They weren't violets. And they definetely weren't like the fur of an otter. They were a vibrant and shining ruby color, full of nothing but serenity.

"H-hello. Can I help you?" Kasey, much to his dissapointment, found his voice stuttering. As if things couldn't be worse, the air was beginning to seem warmer.

"Hello! I just came by to introduce myself. I'm Anissa, and I live with my parents at Marimba Farm. I'm sure you've met them," the girl, now known to Kasey as Anissa, said. She smiled brightly.

"I'm K-Kasey...Uhm, I run this farm."

Anissa chuckled slightly. "You have a wonderful farm, Kasey! Anyways, it was a pleasure to meet you, but I must be off. I'll see you later!" With a wave, she strolled away, leaving Kasey standing there, with his mouth agape like the biggest fool on the planet.

"Hey Kasey, who was- What happened to you?"

"Finn...I'm not going to be moping around anymore. C'mon, lemme help you out with Bessie."

A/N: I had to extend this because it wasn't long enough, lol. xD Y'know, I might continue this! It kinda seems worth thinking about. :) Thanks for reading. Good luck to everyone else participating!
