A Living Legacy

A/N: Cloud Poem! I has been wanting to do this since 'Why Don't You See Me?' Sooooo…. I finally got up my lazy ass and typed this up. Basically, it's Cloud reflecting on the first class SOLDIER's lives and saying, that he is going to start living his life for more than the sake of keeping alive old memories

Review!


I am still here, still waiting like you asked, still living,
But, truthfully I am breaking, left with only memories
My past and present are simply unforgiving
My dreams are a dark book that acts as my dairies

You gave me your sword, your honor and dreams
A token that told me to never forget you, the truth
That battle was one I lost, as my memory seems
A mistake that was made of the rashness in my youth

That sword once belonged to your mentor, no?
A reminder of times long since forgotten
A time before the crisis, I wish he had been more known
A friend of the one whom my misery was begotten

The red haired one, certainly he was also another one of you
Although you fought several battles as bitter enemies
You never gave up on him, trying to say he was human too.
I should have been like that to the one committing the atrocities

"I will never be a memory," I almost wish it was true
Because if he was here, he would be your legacy too.
But with your one black wing, away you flew
Towards a new dawn, one you can begin anew

And so they say I cling to the past, to look at what I have
I think I'll listen to them. After all, while I am still alive
You will never really be forgotten, instead, just forgave
Because I am your Living Legacy, one that should not be derived
