Odango

Fighting a battle for our princess,
Hope for victory in our eyes.
I destroy a youma, it falls and dissapears,
From Maker I hear a warning cry.

The last youma's attack is coming at my unprotected back,
I turn to catch it in the chest.
I cry out in pain as it tears through my heart.
As I fall to the ground, Healer destroing that final youma is the only sound.

My friends call out to me but I don't hear them,
My thoughts drift to you,
Your face, your smile, your touch, your scent,
your loyalty, your trust.

As I lay here dying I hope my thoughts will reach you somehow.
I love you Odango,
I tried everything to get you to love me,
But you are so loyal to him.

You were happy with your Mamo-chan,
Your Chibi-Usa too,
Now I feel guilty for trying to take them away from you,
I'm sorry Odango, I'm sorry.

My breathing is growing shallow and quick,
And raspy too, the pain sears through my chest,
I hope my pain won't cause you suffering,
That's the last thing I want to happen to you.

I'm sorry if I seemed rude,
Or inconsiderate,
Or a threat.
I hope that you can someday, forgive me for all that.

Now as my blood drips to the ground, turning the green grass red,
I can feel Maker holding my body,
Healer holding my hand,
Our princess near hoping I'm not already dead.

I'm sorry Maker, Healer,
I can't stay much longer now,
I'm sorry Princess,
I can't protect you anymore.

My heart is failing, my life fading away,
Odango, I can only tell you how much I want to stay.
I know you loved me as a friend, but not the way I wished.
You didn't think I was serious about my feelings for you.

But it wasn't simple flirting,
Or a common, ordinary crush,
I was deeply in love with you,
In love with so much.

I open my eyes barely half way,
I grip Healer's hand,
I tell them to say good bye to you for me,
For my life is at an end.

Now as I take my final breath, and a tear rolls down my cheek,
I utter just one thing, one simple word,
Just one name, the name of my beloved,
In a whisper so soft it can barely be heard I whisper, "Odango.........."

Should I continue? Should I write a fic to go with it? Email or Review to tell me! Because until you do....this is THE END!
