Intoxicating Truth.

Disclaimers apply

A/N: this isn't just another poem. It's a series of poems… a cycle of tragedy, lust, love, defeat, drama, and most important truth. The truth they need to know, even though in the end it could break them all. The titles of the poems are the person who's telling them.

Chapter One: A New Day's Sorrow

Tidus

If I act normal,
Like last night wasn't the last,
Do you think it would all reverse?

Thoughts of you plague me,
I'm dieing of your disease,
And the cure's unreachable.

For the first time…
I was going to open up.
I was beginning to fall

Deeply
Truly
In love…
For the first time.

Rip it away,
Tear it apart…
It's only my heart.

Wakka

"Get up,"
The morning light shines brightly,
Atop the towering trees,
Littering the landscape
Of Besaid.

"Why are you here anyway?
Aren't you moving in with her?"
My heart slumped,
Distress captured his voice as he explained,
His emotions.
They were a perfect couple,
I thought they would last,
Forever?

The secrets I feared the both hid,
Rotted and ate away,
The perfection,
Honesty was not at play,
Was that the cause?

Do I intrude in a good friends life?

Or let him grieve alone,
Grieve as a death takes place,
The death of an era,
What they use to be,
What they could've been.

Rikku

I had a candle-lit dinner planned
Just Gippal and me,
But then she showed up,
Sobbing and wet.
Do I turn down a family member?
A friend…

No.
That's not me,
I let her in.
She told me her problem.
Now I'm shocked and angered…

She may be my cousin,
But he was my friend,
She lied to him,
And with a few words broke his heart,
She said it wasn't his,
And she lies to me too,
Because I know it is.

Maybe she feared that was the only reason,
He claimed to love her,
And she claimed to love him,
She's crazy with emotion

And sick with grief.

Yuna

This baby will grow up,
Fatherless,
I lie, because it's yours.

And in the end I only hurt myself.
