THANKS: To Chris and jaded and everyone else who liked 'Watching' and convinced me to do a sequel. OK, so it's not exactly a sequel, but there will be one eventually.
AUTHOR'S NOTES: I would just like to note that not all of my poetry is so repetitive, most of it is 'broken.' I just thought that since I did 'Watching' like this, the rest of the series should follow suit.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own these characters, Marvel, Fox, and Bryan Singer do. The evil plot bunny and bad rhythm are all mine, though.


I am leaving you.

You are so young, so innocent, so perfect. I am not worthy of a goddess such as you. I see you play with friends your age, and it hurts.

I am leaving you.

You come to me and your eyes plead, 'Don't go.' You are so lovely, so incredibly lovely. I only wish I could touch your silken skin.

I am leaving you.

You ask me not to go. I cannot speak. My most wonderful dream and most horrendous nightmare come rolled into one when you ask.

I am leaving you.

I want to let you know I will be back. Words will not express it. Nothing can define it. So I must give you the only thing I know is mine.

I am leaving you.

It hurts to walk through the door and abandon you. I promised to protect you. But what if I am what you need protection from? I don't want to hurt you.

So I am leaving you.
