Author's Note: Heh… I forgot to tell you guys last time that the "Hurt" poem was supposed ta describe Fujin. But you guys are smart, and my poem definetly gave it away with the whole eye thingy. So, yeah. ^^'' Just a reminder though, when you're reading this poem, you have to read slowly and pause after each line or everything's gonna go quick and stuff and it's not gonna sound like a poem. Oh yeah, gotta thank my reviewers:

Vvq tnaysan- Thanx for your kind review! Personally, even I don't really admit it, I don't like ALL the poems that I made, but I like certain stanzas from the poems. Like, in Ellone's poem, I liked about the last two or three stanzas. But you know, that's me. Thanks for your review again!

Ameli Stoncius- I'm glad you'll update Obloquy soon! I really enjoyed the first chapter. Thanks for your review! I try to keep all my stanzas to four lines, and I have to keep reading it over and over and over again to make sure it flows well…that's okay with me though. ^^

Rinoa36- Yeah, I thought "Hurt" was kinda creepy, too. Probably it'll be the most "disturbed" one out of all the chapters because I think that Fujin has a worse past than any of the other characters (regarding her eye patch and behaviors ^^) Thanks for you review!

Keep those reviews coming! ^___^

Disclaimer: I always wondered if I was rich like Bill Gates, would I have enough money to buy the Squaresoft company? Nah. I think I'll just stick to fawning over the game like a good Final Fantasy fan… although being rich doesn't seem like such a bad idea…

**********

The skies were clear and crystal blue

When I stood in front of this field with you

There you promised and assured me again

That you'll be with me till the very end.

Yet the end has come

And you have not

And I hope and I pray

That you haven't forgot.

Because our promise to each other

Meant more to me

Than you'll ever know

Than you'll ever see.

I'm running again now

With no destination

Screaming out your name

Calling for salvation.

No magic can save me

From this horrible place

Yet my heart surges with love

When I think of your face.

Save me from this nightmare

My black-armored knight

And I'll save you from yours

From your horrible plight.

Take me away from here

And let us fly

The sorceress and her knight

Together, you and I.

AN2: Ick. This poem sucks. I've been having a writer's block (heh…over a short poem like this ^^ …hard to imagine) because I don't really know how to describe Rinoa without making her sound like Ultemecia, who I'll write about in later chapters. Man…I sat in front of this poem for a week trying to fix it and it still sounds all crappy and short. Ah well, pleaz read and review! (Even though I don't luv this poem, I still luv you guys! ^_^)
