A/N: This is a sad little one-shot...for now. I'm warning you!

Oh and I came up with the poem on my own so...yeah.

Enjoy! Wait...wait...I'm forgetting something...

Nico:Really? Your forgetting that you don't own Percy Jackson...duh

Oceanclaw: Oh yeah...what he said! Wait...how did you get in here?!

Nico: The front door was open.

Oceanclaw: ...Ok then. Enjoy!

~000ooo000ooo000~

Nico stared at his sisters body. He wasn't crying. He didn't have a tear left to cry. He had used them all up already. Thalia looked at him with sympathy but he didn't notice. His eyes had glazed over as he just stared at her. His mind went blank.

When someone I care about dies I do not cry

Nico has no tears to cry, he used them for something stupid. He couldn't remember right now. He couldn't remember anything, except his sister was dead.

I go numb

I do not pray to Hades for forgiveness for her.

I go numb

I sit through the funeral without shedding a tear.

Which was true. Nico hadn't shed one tear the whole time. He sat quietly staring at her.

Because I Am Numb, I Am Feeling No Emotion.

Nico wasn't feeling anything. He wasn't sad, or shocked, or angry. He felt nothing.

A few months later, The numbness fades

And it hits me.

She's gone

My big sister

My role model

My best friend

Is dead.

Never coming back.

Nico knew the numbness would fade, but he didn't want it to. It would hurt so much.

And then I cry.

Like my heart was ripped out.

Like I was physically hurt.

Because I was.

No not physically, mentally.

Nico knew a part of him died when she did. He wasn't the same. He wasn't happy-go- lucky little kid anymore.

And thats worse.

Much Worse.

There is no surgery to get rid of it, no stitches to place.

Unlike physical damage it wont ever go away.

I will never be complete again.

Nico knew that. And he didn't care. He was fine with it.

Then the numbness returns

Like my heart can take no more

Like I have no tears left to cry.

And I welcome it.

Like a mother welcoming home her child.

Nico knew it would come back. It had to. He wouldn't survive without it.

Eventually it fades.

No painkiller last forever.

And the pain of losing her will hit

And I will cry

Like enough tears will bring her back.

But she wont be coming back to tuck me in, or coming back at all.

Because she is dead.

I will cry like enough tears will make this all just a dream.

But it wont.

Because this is reality.

Nico sighed,he couldn't take it,he had to get out of here.

And just like that, Nico left. Shadow traveled away, from his sister.

And his painful past.
