Author's Note: As a start off, as always, my replies to my much appreciated reviewers:
Sefie Lynne tilmett- I'm really happy that you like my poems! I guess being able to see the past would be a heavy burden, but not if the memory's a good one, of course…which in Ellone's case, would be happy for her but confusing to Squall. I'm glad that you liked my Quistis poem also! Thanx for all your reviews! ^_^
Ameli Stoncius- You know how I didn't really like Ellone's poem at first? But after reading your review, I went back and re-read it and it made more sense. I think it was probably because I re-read the poem so many times at first, I didn't bother to re-read the poem slowly again so it'll sound more like a poem. I'm confusing you, aren't I? ^^ I know how after the finals feel cuz I can't really remember anything either. I had to write a biology BCR in class on the cell parts of organisms and stuff, and I got half the information wrong because I forgot it all during the long break. Thank you so much for all your reviews! Oh yeah, when are you gonna update Obloquy? That story's really good…
I really appreciate all the reviews! They really make my day a lot better. ^^ I luv you guys! (In a friendly way, of course.) : P

**********
I remember the soreness
The pain that surrounded my eye
The day I lost my faith
And wished everything would die.
I didn't really give a damn
About what was wrong or right
Not anymore I didn't
After what happened that night.
Don't wanna remember it anymore
Because angers wells up so fast
Every time I think about it
That night I cried my last.
That night I shed my last tear
As Hell itself burned around me
Between their claw-like fingers
Engraving my misery.
Yet the bloody memory I hold
Of the painfulness in my eye
Couldn't possibly compare to watching
The ones whom I loved die.
Their screams and their cries
Will be there all the time
This horrible sound
Those terrible, screeching rhymes.
They'll haunt me forever
Till the day I finally die
Because I can't forget them
And I can't learn how to say goodbye.
I want to cry again
Feel the tears on my face once more
But I'm frozen and I can't
Get rid of this aching sore.
They'll always be there forever
Taunting me inside
Making me remember the day
My hope and loved ones died.
