Title: Sasha's Secret

Type: Oneshot Poem

Rating: T just to be safe

Pairing: Sasha Nein and Lili Zanotto

Disclaimer: I own nothing, have nothing, claim nothing, and for the moment am drinking nothing (I ran out of coffee).

Warnings: This contains a weird form of self-harm (there's probably a better word for that, but I'm not gonna look it up at this hour of night…). It also has Sasha, who is 30-40 (depending on where you're getting your info from and what you choose to believe) in love with Lili, who is only 11. As I stated in one of my other fics, if that's an issue, please do not flame, and if you do, make sure you use good enough spelling and such that I don't need to sit at my computer for an hour trying to decode the language of chatspeak into English.

I've a got a secret

They'd never ever see.

I started it when Milla got married

It just about killed me.

I'd bar the doors, trying not to cry

And lock everything down

Because as I flamed myself I wanted to die

I felt my eyes close for what I was sure would be the last time…

I knew I shouldn't have,

But pyrokinesis is a powerful gift

And as I burned my own flesh

My mind would drift

To the days before I knew

The days before I fell in love

With beautiful Lili Zanotto,

My angel sent from above.

My eyes opened wearily

Damm, I was sure I'd die that time.

I would've tried again

Had my alarm clock not chimed.

It was time for me to go

I had to pick up Lillianna, the child of my heart's desire.

How glad was I to have a reason

To escape my addiction of fire.

As I drove along I hardened my resolve

I'd admitted it to myself, now it was she I had to tell

Even if she hated me forever

And I burned in hell.
