Try As I Might

A Genso Suikoden poem by Yagami Iori

A/N: This is my first poetry post… Please be kind and leave feedback.  It can be interpreted however you want, but is intended as Flik's POV on Odessa.  Ja ne! ^_~

Try as i

Might, i can never forget

You.  try as i

Might, i can never let you

Go.

And whilst the sounds of battle

Rage outside the

Castle, i can think only of

You.

Think of your soft

Hair, your warm

Eyes, the way you used to hold

Me when i hurt, love me when i was

Well.

As i make my way through

War, through

Peace, through

Struggle, it is you that keeps me

Strong.

There have been

Others.  other

Women, all wanting to be

Mine.  but you were the only one i ever

Wanted.

And now you are

Gone.  in a flash of glory you left

Me.  alone, i am

Nothing. 

But try as i

Might, i can never forget

You.  try as i might, I can never let you

Go.
