Strangled Sunbeams

Final Fantasy VIII belongs to Squaresoft although I wish it was mine...still,
not that it's any consolation, the poem is mine so please ask me if ya
wanna use it or anything. Okay, this is another poem where I wreck the
happy lives of others but I just really don't think that anyone can be this
happy! ; ). It's about Selphie. Right. Nuff said. Enjoy.

Sunbeams bright and gold and yellow
Skimpy dress and cheerful face
Smile is joyful, gaze is mellow
Filled with beauty, life and grace
But far away from sunbeams bright
Are tears cried within the dark
Sobs that I'm unable to fight
For an empty life devoid of spark
See me happy, bouncy, strong
Look away when tears I cry
For that to you will look so wrong
So leave me when I wish to die
Squall may cry for heavy weight
That rests upon his shoulders young
A thirst for vengeance he may sate
His tears will stop when task is done
Angel cries for lover lost
But for another her heart sings
And her sorrows away are tossed
As she flies away on pure white wings
Instructor cries for moments past
Her title stripped, her glory gone
But her chance will come at last
When the battle has been won
Everyone can stop their tears
Because they know for what they cry
But I've sobbed for all these years
And never known the reason why
You never think that I can feel
Horror, loss, despair and pain
So I cry to prove I'm real
But tears are all I have to gain
So come into the darkness of my dreams
Devoid of things that I hold dear
With silenced screams and strangled sunbeams
If only you could see me here
I hope that you enjoyed PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE R&R. I hope that it wasn't too
long or depressing. Cheers!
