Bittersweet

by phantom and potter Obsession

Oneshot. Tart knows he can't love Pudding while they are enemies, so he writes her a bittersweet poem explaining in an obscure way how he truely feels and why he can't show it.

It can't be helped

We are enemies

It can't be helped

We're not friends

It can't be helped

We have orders

We have missions

Have our own ends.

To save my race

So I will fight

Until the end

Until the end

To save your race

So you will fight

That's why we are

Neither one's friend

And yet your smile

It moves my heart

What can I think?

What can I do?

Can I betray

The only hope

My race will hold

Only for you?

I'd face my death

If I would care

And then I'd never

See your smile

But is it worth it

If I could just

Could hold your hand

Just for a while?

Deep Blue will come

Awaken soon

And he'll destroy

And he'll cause pain

Can I betray

My savior sworn

Only to have

My selfish gain?

But how to live

And how to learn

If I can never

See your eyes

When over flowing

With tears of joy

With hate and wrath

With love, surprise.

We are not friends

We'll never be

That's something I

Must come to know

But where is love

And where is life

With all the hate

Where did it go?

Nobody's perfect

Neither are you

Pollution rampant

Thanks your race

But what of mine

Incompetent

Can't save ourselves

Can't save our face

It's turned to war

It's turned to death

And we all know

We have to win

Yet so do you

You can't give up

There's nothing left

To take joy in

Inferno ring

Or Ho Rai Den

Well where's the joy

In trap attacks

The crashing dome

You're not alone

For I was there

And you relax

You shouldn't trust me

I am your foe

And my dilemma

I don't hate you

I think it's bad

I love you so

But thus betray

My people too

I have to fight

I have to kill

Although the blood

Will stain my hands

Yet can I lose

I know not how

I know the one

Who understands

Can I give up?

Surrender now

To have my life

To have my love

Is there no mercy

No wonders, oh

With what is gone

To up above

I cannot love you

I stay away

Pretend for you

I feel just hate

Deny my feelings

Suppress my love,

I can't love you

It's not my fate.

I can't love you. But I do.

And as she read the sad poem, Pudding's eyes overflowed with tears. But still, one good thing had come of this. "He wrote me a poem," she whispered, smiling over the tears spilling over her face. A bittersweet poem. Even if he couldn't show it, Tart loved her after all.
