Answers to the Reviews:
TheWhiteMonk – Yes, well, I try to do poems for characters that it would possibly be impossible to come up with a poem for. xD I might do Kuchinawa eventually! Thank you for reminding me of him!
ObviousMan – Your muses are interesting. :P Let's see...This one likes 'speaking' in leet? Thank you:D Actually, I got the normal ending. I accidentally spoiled it because I read some fanfic on it. –shifty eyes-
lisette – This one is on Presea! Yaaay! Um...I don't want to "use" poems. I write them myself.
Nameless – Wow, thanks! Your reviews are always so in-depth and it gives me much reason to continue writing. You thought it was good? YES! xD I thought that everyone might think it was awful...But I have this odd mindset that people expect more of me than they should. Be critical if you would like! I like those kinds of reviews, since it gives me much more feedback as to what I should be changing rather than what was good about it. But I would very much appreciate it if you didn't say in my face, "I HATED THIS POEM!" :P
Spoiler Warning!
I think that statement was pretty much self-explanatory.
Slipping Away
Sometimes I watch the hands
Moving back and forth
Two black monsters
That have wasted away my life
I spent sixteen years
Trapped within myself
Watching those two hands
Click past each other
Years later, I realized time wasn't everything
Those nights I spent worrying
Didn't mean anything
Because in the end
It would always run away
I felt the sand slipping away
Through an hourglass in my mind
It leaked the memories I held in it
And left them there for me to find
Sometimes I stare at the air
Dull eyes without emotion
Lifeless blue without the light
Waiting for someone to bring in a lantern
I spent sixteen years
Suffering that dull throb
A heart that doesn't understand love
A robot left un-programmed
Years later, I felt the blush coming back
The redness flowing into my cheeks
As I saw that someone
For once, I felt warmth
And it helped me see
That I didn't have to be the only one
I felt the sadness slipping away
That sorrow I once kept contained
Now I will neglect that feeling
And continue to move into the future
Now I only see their faces
Shedding hope into my small, cold hands
Now I only taste sweet sunlight
Instead of the bitter darkness
I spend my days walking
Hand in hand with my comrades
No amount of sand
Could please my hourglass now
I no longer want to wait
For someone I know will never come back
Now I want to spend the rest of my life
Every granule of sand left in my hourglass
With you
