W/C: Well, it seems you guys liked my stuff so I'll post my next two. These two are both narrated by Ed and are kind of sad. I haven't posted any of my angsty poems yet, but… you'll see um' later. Right now, here are these

Poems name: Beyond The Armor

Behind the silver exterior

Beyond the metal that surrounds you

I see what others don't see

I see what others don't view

I look at the old you, Al

I see you tucked away inside

It pains me that I know it's partly my fault

The very concept taunts my mind

I look into your eyes

I see your old pupils or brown

I can't stand the site so I turn away

I let a sigh escape my lips and look down

I guess we're stuck like this for now, huh?

At least until we find what we're looking for

But we both know it won't be easy...

Things aren't going to be simple anymore

Beyond the armor I see

A hopeful glisten in your eyes, a faithful spark

Yeah, you look a lot different, Al

But you still have the same heart

Here is the next one

Poem Name: I Miss You Mother

I hear your words...

They play along with each dancing memory

I sit and watch my life go past

I gaze and I see how I change so quickly

No longer am I that naive boy

Not the child you saw weeping when you left

I have grown into something more

A strong willed young man of confidence

But how I want to bring everything back

Why did you have to leave us here?

Mother, come back please

I need you for now I fear

I know my life is changing fast

I can never predict what will happen tomorrow

But I can't take this confusion

I can't bare with all this sorrow...

Such a simple life we led in the past

You were there and we lived together

We were happy like most families

Until fate changed things forever

I would give anything to live that way

I'd give away my other arm, sanity or heart

I just need you here a little but longer

It wasn't time for us to part...

I sit and watch as my memories fade

They vanish before me and I cry

Mother, why do you have to be gone?

Why did you have to die?

So another tear falls

I drop my head, close my eyes and breathe

It's hard to go on without you

But now I must believe

Believe that I am strong

Believe that I can make this work

But as I look over at Al my eyes water

My head stops thinking and my mind gives a jerk

I sigh and let out s lone sob

The cry echoes into the night

Truth is... this is really hard for me, mom...

I just miss you a lot, all right?
