W/C: Hello, new FMA writer here. Looks my obsession finally got to me... I decided to write these two poems. If you haven't seen the last episode, it won't make that much sense. Well, the first is kind of graphic so read at your own risk. It's Ed narrating the first poem

Poem Name: A Bloody Soul Has Fallen
It is everywhere...
It has poisoned my body, my soul and mind
I lye here in this puddle of crimson
I lye here and look ahead me, I'm running out of time
I choke on it
It rises from my heart
I throw it up, disgusted the least
But when it leaves my mouth it seems I throw away a part...
A part of me who sees life
A part of me who is willing to survive
But like my soul it has been shooed away...
That part of me has died
I'm lying here, my flesh turning cold
I hear him call but nothing escapes my lips
I can feel the exposed wound capture air
I can feel the blood leak is it drips
I taste nothing but the metallic flavor
The numb and empty taste of pain
The same liquid that was flowing through me
The same substance that was coursing through my veins
Bitter sweet yet not sweet at all
I am fading away
My last breathe takes toll
I leave everybody as I fade
I find myself at a gate as I open my eyes
I look and drop my head in tears
I failed everyone including myself
Even the brother I love and hoped to safe so dear

That one is the most graphic and pained me to no end to write. Here's Al's point of view on what just happened.

Poem Name: Brother, Get Up!
Brother, why have you fallen?
Oniichan, why are you so still?
It's not over, please stand up
What's wrong, fight against pains will!
Brother, why don't you answer?
Why do you stare into nothing like you are?
Brother, answer me! You can't be dead
Not after we've come this far!
Oh, oniichan please get up
Ed, why aren't you answering me?
Stop fooling around and get up!
You can't be dead - you're scaring me
Brother, why are you still down
Stop it! Stop all the pain
Ed, I know you can't be gone!
I can sense life still flowing through your veins!
Ed... Why do you not answer?
Why are you doing this to us all?
Ed you have to get up!
Ed... Please answer my call
No tears fall for I'm in this armor
The whole darn reason why we are both here
The reason why you're lying there
The whole reason why everyone is frozen in fear
How I want you to shake off that strike
Brother, please get up to fight once more
I don't know what I'd do without you
Ed, please don't walk out of life's door
I feel jaws of pure foolishness and hate,
I feel something sinking into my skin
I wince but don't let it faze me
Brother - come back! We can still win...
I can't help it so I stand up
Part of me exposed to all those who look
I walk to you and where you lie
Your eyes showing the pain you hold in your heart like a book
My knees seem to weaken along with my heart
But hope remains inside my metal torso
When my silver hand touches your cheek
Suddenly the angst fades along with the woe
Warmth... He's still alive...
His soul is waiting at the gate
I'm going to save you, oniichan
I'm going to because you would do the same for me
