Well, it's been forever since I've written, but I'm finally back in the swing of things, or at least for the time being. I know it isn't an update on my other stories for my loyal fans, but it's something. I'll slowly work my way back into my other stories sometime soon, too. This is a series of poems, 6 of them to be exact. They tell a story, in the P.O.V's of 2 of the pilots. I think you'll be able to guess which 2, and which ones are which pilot. I'd give this a PG-13 for angst. Send me your comments and enjoy. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*

In Love With A Soldier

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

A fire burns

A fire there from the start

A fiery passion for the one

With the icy heart

But I embraced the emotions

And opened the door

But even I couldn't see

All the troubles in store

I had convinced myself

That his heart I'd steal

But I wasn't prepared

For he doesn't know how to feel

His face is impassive

He holds up a mask

Hiding emotional scars

Of a horrible past

His life is tainted

His hands are stained

And he carries the blood

Of the people he's maimed

But I love the soldier

I'll make him whole

I'll love the killer

And save his tormented soul ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

A Hidden Secret ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

To the one I love

I could never compare

No one could ever stain

The boy with the braided hair

My life is tainted

My hands are stained

And any effort to get my love

Would surely be in vain

How is it possible?

How could it be?

How could he ever love

Someone vile as me?

Everything I love

Eventually ends up dead

And I couldn't bear to lose him

So I'll run instead

To the one I love

I could never compare

And I will never stain

The boy with the braided hair ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Mission: Failing ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

It's getting harder to ignore

The Braided Boy than ever before

His presence gives a light to the room

And helps me to forget

All my painful gloom

His chatter is never ending

And he's so full of life

And keeping myself from him

Is tearing me up inside

I can't keep this up much longer

It's much harder than before

And this time I'm afraid

That I might not win the war ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

When ~*~*~*~*

Sometimes I believe

As impossible as it seems

That my love is growing

Much closer to me

On an occasion

Every once in awhile

I'll see the mask slip

And I could swear that he smiled

Will it ever happen?

Will there ever be?

A time when he'll open up to me?

I think it could happen

If I've read the signs right

There may be a time

He'll talk to me one night

But there's something I didn't count on

Something I now see

Could he, in turn

Possess feelings for me? ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The Call ~*~*~*~*~

The call came 'round Midnight

The call I chose to ignore

But how could I have known

That it had been made

Only 20 feet from my door?

I was working when it came

And I thought it to be a game

Oh, I should have listened

When he called my name

He'd been out since 7

Dancing the night away

And I thought it to be a game

So I wouldn't work all day

But I made a grave mistake

And now I have to pay

The call was a cry for help

For my love had been shot

Now I know the truth

But I'm praying that it's not

For now my love is gone

And the tears begin to fall

To think he could be living

And I didn't heed his call. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I Love You Came Too Late ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Here I stand

At the grave

The grave where my love lies

And the emotions start to spill

The ones I've kept inside

The tears begin to fall again

And down my face they slide

I could have let him know

But instead I chose to hide

I never got to tell him

And now I never will

It's all my fault he's dead

And the tears continue to spill

Now he's left this lifetime

His soul waits at Heaven's Gate

I'll never get to tell him

"I love you" came too late

Angsty shit, I know. All reviews are appreciated. Until I get a good burst of inspiration to finish my other stories, please be patient with me, I've had, and still have quite a bit going on. I'll write when I can. I ask for no more rude e-mails threatening me, or telling me "I'd better get the fuck writing again, it's been too long" and shit like that. I don't appreciate that, and it doesn't put me in anymore of a hurry to write for you all. If I get anymore of those messages, I may just stop writing all together. I don't have the time or the motivation at the moment as is, this bullshit is just one more reason to put it on hold. So if you're one of my little messengers, and you'd like me to write again, knock it the fuck off. Ja ne.
