A/N: Okay, here is the next installment for my poem collection! I got a little inspiration from the poem AleniaOceanstar wrote called "Hazel Eyes" it is a beautiful piece. I recommend all of you go read it. Okay, this is from Holly's point of view. And think of it like this is the same exact setting as in the last poem. So Holly really WAS outside Artemis's window. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own anything that has to do with Artemis Fowl and Co.

Oswari!!!: This one isn't quite so angsty. As you can see, I agree that poetry doesn't have to rhyme, it is a very free thing. Hope you like this chapter too!

Dreamy-eyes: Thank you for reviewing!

artemis-paige-noel-fowl: Thank you for the review. Yes, I realize that Artemis most likely wouldn't pity himself so much. But I just had to write that poem down.

kelaal: Thank you! Thank you! You praise me so.

Poem 2: To Love a Viper

~*~

Raindrops batter against the glass of my helmet visor,

The agonies of a lost one batter against my heart.

Satisfaction seems so distant now,

Like suddenly a veil has been pulled from my eyes,

So now I can see what my world is truly like.

And you know what?

I don't like it.

I realize now,

That what I thought was a perfect and flawless society,

Is no better than any other.

I now see the blemishes and faults in full,

Things I have only recently realized.

And I hate them.

I hate them all,

Because they took him from me.

They took him away forever,

And with him,

They took away a part of my heart.

I realize now,

How important he was to me.

The boy that became one of my only true friends,

Was taken away.

The boy whose name rhymes with foul,

But whose eyes speak of inner purity and courage,

The boy they call Artemis.

For many a day,

My heart's pain has torn at my mind like an angry cyclone,

But now I know,

I know why.

I miss him,

I miss a viper.

Now all that lies between me and my dear Artemis is a window pane,

But it might as well be an entire universe.

Because I cannot have him,

Not now,

Not ever.

I want only to know him again,

And for him to know me.

Yes,

I want to jump right into the viper's nest,

Be part of a team again,

Be in the middle of all the action,

With the viper himself at my side.

But most of all,

I want his friendship,

I want his love,

I want him to be mine.

And this time I will take care of him,

I will cherish him in my heart,

I will keep him safe.

Now one will take Artemis from me this time,

Because I will be with him.

As I open the rain battered window,

I know,

I love a viper,

And now,

Nothing can stop me,

Because I know,

I love Artemis.
