Ami No Namida
by amiwakawaiidesu

Pretty soldier Ami--
Unseen by us, she cries
From eyes that shine with
Welling tears, and fading candlelight;

Stars, they soar
Above her;
And planets
Roam at night,

But Ami's heart
Is chained
In formless fears
She cannot fight.

"What is this, that I am,"
She asks,
"Machine,
Or mannequin?
I have no heart or passion;
My soul
Is dead within."

But stars look down on Ami,
Caress her in her dreams,
And lift her heart to places
That we have never seen.

My gentle angel Ami,
Your dreams will come to be;
A heart and mind in union,
One seamless unity.
