Mon Ami

Disclaimer: I only own the poem.

Summary: Yuffentine-esque. Yuffie's POV poem. Please don't flame. Vincent's response is chapter two.

Believe me, I remember you
I remember that kiss
I remember oh-so fondly
I cannot give in again

Forgive a man in a moment of lust
Forgive him in his need
I have much atoning to do
For you cannot like what you see

A monster with demonic tendencies
I lose control at a mere thought
I will not allow you to fall for me
Although I have already fallen for you

I am not that romantic hero
Nor a hero much at all
In fact, I am that demon
The one who dies in the end

A hero is what a princess deserves
A princess is what you still are
This demon will only cause you pain
I can only hurt those I love

So, Princess, my comrade, mon ami
I cannot submit to that life
The one you make seem so right
The one I know cannot last

It would be built upon a moment's infatuation
It would be built upon too much; not enough
I need to atone for this sin
These horribly impure thoughts

I'll admit that I watch you
I've watched you nearly every night
Years have passed
Your routine's still the same

Five years have come and gone
This time you've found me
You have become a beautiful woman
Tell me, have I changed?

I scream internally at the thought
Of you in another's arms
Yet I cannot, will not, bring myself
To admit that this is love

My comrade, my companion, mon ami...
I will leave you this last time
I leave you with a gentle kiss
That lures me back each time

Your cheerful smile; my cold mask
Your happy home; my disturbing past
You smile and pretend that we could make it work
Princess, I'll only make you hurt

Forgive my vampiric looks and demonic quirks
Forgive all that I have said
I am only afraid to say what I mean
I am only afraid to see you hurt

My princess, I will tell you this
If only to ease your suffering
I never told you on that night
I love you more than anything, mon ami.
