Stone Hearts.
Gale/Katniss Poem.
Made for a one-shot contest for katsparkle13
I am not a leader.
I always thought I would be.
That was until she came into my life.
Her braided hair and glistening eyes mocked me.
For, I could never hold something so gentle.
So vulnerable.
…
The years passed
She grew closer to me
And I thought maybe
Just maybe
I'd have a chance.
…
That was until they snatched her away.
And she was out of my reach for far too long.
The worst part was the helplessness
I could rant
And pout
And scream
And shout
But nothing I did could bring her back.
…
She met another boy.
A boy who was in love with her.
She said she loved him back.
…
My heart ripped and tore
And sunk into my chest like a stone.
When she kissed him, it sunk further
Suffocating my soul.
…
…
And then she escaped.
She fled the Games with her 'Lover'
Our friendship rekindled
But it was never the same.
We were friends
Only friends.
…
And finally, I saw the slightest hope.
She saved my sunken heart
She brought me again to life
Until the leader sought against her- us.
And stole her in the night with her 'Lover' for another Game.
…
I stood, watching chaos warp into twisted madness.
My darling took my heart again
She threw it out into the bowels of the ocean
And being a stone,
It sunk.
…
A day later Haymitch came to me.
He told me a secret plan
To save the fighters
To save her 'Lover'
To save her.
…
I accepted.
We waited.

Waited
Until the sign came.
And flew to her in the dead of night,
Ready to save her.
…
And I did.
I smiled.
I helped her.
I saved her, just like she did me.
Hope was high.
Until I had to tell her.
There is no District Twelve.
...
…
She screamed and fussed and cried.
I told her to hush.
She mumbled his name in her sleep.
She fought the demons that were her dreams.
I told her I loved her.
She said nothing back.
…
Out with my heart.
Enter 'Revenge'
I crumbled.
I fell apart.
I sunk further into the ocean.
And found revenge.
I'd show her how it felt to have a broken heart.
I'd show her the hell I've been through.
I'd show her that we don't all get happy endings.
So I set a trap.
…
My plan was to injure her sister.
Give my darling a scare- that's all.
But I messed up.
And now innocents are dead.
Because of me.
Because I played with fire.
