Charred

Starfire's PoV. I tried a little Emily Dickinson thing here; hopefully it worked. For Flying Star and Faye Chua who pushed me to try.

Flying Star: I don't mean to forever associate you with Starfire. But this is the first poem I wrote about TT, so...yeah... :P.


It hit me hard.

I tried to stop it.

I went to the future –

20 years – to fight it.

There is no messing with history.

No messing with time – my only enemy.

Our friendship corroded once

And history repeated itself again.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust,

Our foundation crumbling – no reason – unjust.

I thought I prevented our death,

But we fell...

Everything once important now charring in hell.

The idea Unfathomable. Unlike us...

-Unacceptable

-Unforgivable

-Unfair

unforgettable.


A/N: The poem by Emily Dickinson that I sort of modeled this after is shown in "Mind Games- Pandemonium, Part 2". Some of you guys may think that I need a better rhyme scheme, but look at that poem, and you'll understand that everything I did was intentional. I double and triple checked for any mistakes, and I can honestly tell you guys that everything is written the way it is for a purpose. There is no particular rhyme scheme for a reason. The repetition is in a list-type form for a reason. ...Just letting everyone know for clarification. :D

Now, please tell me as nice as possible how much it sucked so I can prove to you all once and for all why you should never get Instant Coffee to write a poem! :P. But seriously...please review...and do the above, even if it kills ya!
