I Cry
Roy

I cry

I cry for the fires that burn in my mind
looking for the redemption I cannot find.

I cry for the night they took you from me
never again will I ever be free.

I cry for that last chance to succeed
that crumbled apart, I finally concede.

I cry in the snow, far away from all I knew
because some things in life can never be true.

I cry for the lives taken by my small self, me,
and I cry at night so that you may never see.


I made this originally for Free Fall, but after plotting and rearranging I decided I liked it better here. For those of you who have been with me since the beginning will probably know I am a poet first, fic-writer second. I used to write poems all the time until I got dared to do a gay smut story once upon a time. I decided to take up the challenge and started reading some to get a feel for how they go. Link after link after link got me hooked on fanfictions then I started writing them for my own amusement.

I still do poetry, you can find a link to my dA account in my profile. I hope you enjoy this and come back tomorrow for Ed's side.
