Author's Note: Yes, I know the title is cliche but it fit the poem. I've always wanted to write about Van's feelings when he saw Hitomi kissing Allen on the bridge that rainy day, so when inspiration struck, how could I resist? :)
Betrayal
I know I had no right,
but I felt it all the same.
You sensed it, you turned
and whispered my name.
But I couldn't stay,
I ran back from where I came.
I don't remember a fire burning,
my friend was there...is anything the same?
I lay awake in the dark, thinking
why did you call my name?
To explain?
So you could hurt me again?
There must have been only one other night,
where I lay in the dark, nursing the pain.
Rumours enclosing, loneliness stifling,
an abandoned boy shutting out his brother's shame.
My anger was justified then
but not now.
I know
I know I have no right,
but I feel it all the same.
