Covered in the Blood of OZ

Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing, its characters, or its plot, etc, etc.
And surprisingly, the phrase "...covered in the blood of OZ!" belongs to
Relena Darlain. (Remember when she was in Moscow she tried to kill Lady
Une... for good reason, too.)
For my really cool English teacher who said this class period was for
school-related work ONLY... specifically English. Hey, this *IS* English.
^_____^ Nani?

Notes:
This was written from Relena's POV during an English class...rather
unproductive of me... hehehe. It tries to reveal the less-pacifistic façade
of everyone's favourite ANNOYING BISHOUJO TWIT. No, I really don't like
Relena, but for once I've cut out the chara bashing. This time, it's
serious. Enjoy! Oh yeah... I plan to make this into an Alternate End fic.

Covered in the Blood of OZ

The clock ticks madly in my ears,
Church bells and songs of mourning
Sound across the night,
As they lay him down to rest.

"I tap my gun beneath my fingertips."

But I have no tears,
And I shed no tears,
Because all I can think of
When I close my eyes, is that

She killed him.

The woman with the amber eyes,
The devil soldier,
The murderer,
The crimson rose that draws blood.

"I hold the bullets in my palm and almost smile."

Her image maims me,
Like the darkness she is.
But no matter what forgiveness means,
I cannot forgive, because

She killed him.

Suddenly I realize
That behind my chaste beliefs,
I, too, desire blood;
I want to see her blood.

"I load the pistol, and now I smile."

To make her pay for what she did,
To atone for the sins of Oz.
After this numbness, I feel only hatred,
Because I know

She killed him.

Lost in the darkness,
And overcome by obsession,
I'll abandon this pacifism,
And take my revenge.

"I conceal the weapon in my shawl."

Good people should not have to suffer.
Good people should not have to die.
But she made them suffer, and she made them die,
And I'll kill her, only because

She killed him.

Deep within my heart,
Beneath my innocence,
I desire blood.
I desire revenge.

"I climb the marble steps and laugh blissfully."

For tonight,
Yes tonight,
When the sun sets beyond the colonies,
I will be covered in the blood of OZ.

Cool, ne? I think it's one of my best... ^___^ And just for the people who
didn't get it: This is Relena contemplating, and becoming obsessed with the
idea of taking revenge on Lady Une for killing her father (VFM Darlain). :)
Please RxR!! Thanx.
