Title: I See
This Ghost of You
Author: Taby Murali
I saw a face that wasn't you
With empty eyes, an empty shell
I see this ghost of you; cold and warm
It's almost like I never fell
(But how could any real father
Pretend this doll was his only daughter?)
I saw your ghost in passing
A smile, a wave good-bye
I see this ghost of you; cold and warm
It's almost like I never tried
(But how could I have known
How could I have known?)
I saw your cold stone grave
With nothing but my old dead dreams
I almost see this ghost of you
It's colder than it seems
(But it was there; it wasn't you
It wasn't you…)
(A/n: The first version of this sucked, so I rewrote it. The first six lines are about Nina, the next six are Hughes, and the last six are Trisha Elric. Thanks to all who reviewed!)
