Hey, everyone! Thanks to those of you who reviewed and put this story under their list of favorites. My second chappie is up. Hope you won't be disappointed!

Living Nightmare-Edward's remorse over his wounds and mistakes

I see a grave before me and I'm hit with a wave of dread

The mother I knew and loved has long been dead

Confirmed by my scarred memories yet I wish so desperately

That this grave belonged to anyone else—even me

A beast appears before me, the result of the greatest sin

And with horror I realize

That an innocent, tormented girl cries deep within

As I gaze into its hollow, empty eyes

A girl waits faithfully for me, yet showed mostly anger when I came

But I know it's simply an emotion to cover her pain

I'm reminded of the suffering I caused her when she'd cry

But all I can do is wistfully smile as I once again say goodbye

My brother, imprisoned and isolated in a prison of metal

Shows nothing but gentleness, understanding and care

No warmth, no hurt, no touch is for what he must settle

And the greatest burden of all is what he must bear

A mother, now only a distant memory I miss so

A darling child whom I'll never forget

A girl I love though she may never know

And a brother that has no face yet

My greatest desire is that this is all a nightmare

But I wake up and the pain and wounds are still there

These mistakes are swirling into broken dreams

And if I could die to reverse everything, I would without a care

Yet I must go on living…

As you may know, the first four lines are about Edward's mother, the next four are about Nina, the next four about Winry, and the next four about Al. There is also a hint of Ed/Winry towards the end of the poem--forgive me, everyone who dislikes the pairing! Please review, and suggestions are greatly appreciated and desperately needed! I'm still working on the angst fic centering around Edward, so it's far from too late! Plus, the more I get the sooner I'll update! Thankies -

Until Next Time,
