AN: This was inspired by Easier to Run (see line one and two) about Aribeth's betrayal. This was the very first poem that I wrote about NWN and is in its original form, so it's probably not that good. Xero wrote it as he thought about what was going on in her head. He was hoping to be able to have a romance with her, hahanaha that's what he gets for his impure thoughts. Odium- hatred
Implosion by Xero
It is so much easier to breakaway
Than face all this pain here all by myself
I've become lost in the promise of time
Bringing back the demons of my past
My soul is overthrown, cold in life's throw
And if all this anguish is reality
Than I don't want to know
My memories are inviting me, teasing me
Hardening me to the love that I once felt
My heart is now crystalline, sparkling
From the static blood that once flowed
None of me is saved, contaminated with odium
And if all this is my unfeigned future
Than I don't want to remain

Are you out there, Delphie?
Do you look at the sky
The way we did together
Lying on the sun-warmed cement of your walkway
in the early summer evenings,
watching the stars come winking out and talking to the moon
-'what would you say if you could talk to the clouds?'
'that depends on what they'd say to me'-
and laughing together at the absurdity
of our conversations.
Only now we are not,
And the cement has gotten cold;
I still look. Do you?
It hurts to think that
These are the same stars,
The same moon,
And yet we see them
apart.
A sad, glorious comfort
That though a thousand things be different
Our world is still a little the same.
Are you out there, Delphie?
Look up...so am I.
