It's midnight and I still can't sleep
This pain is cutting much too deep
I know tomorrow will be new
When someone else's dreams come true
But there is no release for me
I can't escape my destiny
I don't intend to try and run
I know I'll do what must be done
I just wish I had had more time
And written more than just a rhyme...
I do not know who reads these words
And frankly I don't care
I just beg you to realize
That someone's always there
Don't make the same mistake I did
Don't run from your dark past
Hold tight onto the good times
Don't let the darkness last
It's too late for me now, of course
I let my last chance go
To tell Van that I'll miss him
Or... could he already know?

(A/N: I don't remember when I wrote this but I was probably really grumpy, ne? This is told from the point of view of Folken Strategos the last night in the Austurian Castle, but cut out the word Van and you can relate to pretty much any TV show or game or whatever. I'm begging everyone who reads this to review even flames are welcome because hey, the Dragonslayers like fire (yeah, I'm a Zaibach supporter)! Thanks to Leah Samson for reading this and yelling at me for making it Escaflowne (oh yeah, and editing) and also to my other friends who read it. Dedicated to Leah, Eriya and million-to-one odds that come out in your favor.)
