Disclaimer: I would love to own FF VII... unfortunately I do not.

Insanity Is Overrated
-
I looked into your eyes
my hands trembled almost imperceptibly
but you noticed and took advantage
-
"so weak,"
you whisper cruelly, mockingly
"still idolize me? even as I kill millions?"
-
pain shoots through my chest
I glance down
seeing metal protrude from my body
-
you yank your sword out
grinning maniacally
taking delight in the sight of my suffering
-
tears gather in my eyes
I drop my sword
unwilling to fight you as my vision blurs
-
"why do you refuse to face me?"
your voice demands furiously
"you, who has never backed down, facing death?"
-
I muster the strength for a small smile
I look at you
you must see something in my expression
because your face is tight with anger
you must still feel something,
maybe you're not completely insane
because I know
it's not insanity being expressed in your eyes
-
"answer me!"
you demand
your eyes wild with an unnamed emotion
-
my sight begins to fade
from the blood loss
words tumble out of my mouth, unchecked
-
"Rule two: obey your superior
"Rule three: do not resist your superior
I recite mechanically
the rules I'd memorized long ago
"Rule one: never leave a comrade behind…
"unless otherwise commanded
"…General"
the last thing I see us your astonished expression
-
maybe you're not beyond saving
maybe I'll try to save you
maybe if I survive this
