Stories In His Scars



Tell me where you've been

The stories of your adventures

Where are these gashes from

What bullet left this hole here

How many needles have prodded you

Does it hurt to look at yourself

Can I touch you and not inflict more pain

Would you let me in

After all that has tortured you

You shield yourself from the world

Please let me see more

Beyond your glorious blonde locks

Green orbs of tenderness

A red coat you wear as a second skin

But as permeable as air to bullets

Could I trace the scars with a slender finger

Will another's touch scare you

Have you grown accustomed to solitude

Seeing your smile makes me cry inside

You only do so to hide your own insecurities

Are you yearning for a partner

Or are you waiting for the end

Graphs of metal cover your heart

Is that your only line of defense

Would I be allowed to touch you

To penetrate your guard

Be let in and help you carry your weight

Relieve you of your loneliness

Please I don't want to push the issue

Why do you hide under those gold glasses

Beneath the determined bullet riddled coat

Dust swirls behind you but I wont let you disappear

Of this earth or an angel is yet to be decided

This much is true you are beautiful

No more doubts in my mind

I want to know you

To know each scar and story

Let me under your skin

Inside your mind

Deep in your heart



*note* This is my first anime related poem. I usually write about life
and how much it sucks at times. This could be seen as Meryl's thoughts,
but I'd prefer to think it of the thoguhts of all those that have been
touched my Vash. Lina, Wolfwood (for those yaoi fans), even Milly could
be thinking all this. These are my thoughts after watching "Goodbye For
Now" and seeing all those scars as he stripped in the street and sat in
his hospital bed speaking with Wolfwood. I hope you all enjoyed, and be
sure to review. Check out my other poems too, I love feedback, how else
can I improve? Ne? Love and Peace !!!
