Disclaimer: I do not own Final Fantasy VII , or any of the Final Fantasy's for that matter, in any way shape or form. Although I wish I did... I don't.

Author's note: I had to write a ballad for my LA class so I wrote about my favorite character Vincent Valentine. I thought it was pretty good considering it's the first poem I've ever written. Oh it's not finished. Writers block I guess. Well Enjoy.

The Ballad of Vincent Valentine

Vincent Valentine awoke one day

With a very strange thought.

He had the urge to kill Cloud Strife

With the brand new gun he bought.

Where did this thought come from?

Was it simply his demon within?

Yes, he thought, that's what it was

But then everything began to spin.

He knew for sure this wasn't Chaos

For his head began to ache.

Little did he know

It was his sanity at stake.

At that moment there was a knock at his door

And Yuffie came skipping in.

She saw his expression and asked "What's Wrong?

Were you in a battle you did not win?"

Something flashed in Vincent's eyes

And an awkward smile appeared.

"Let's play a little game Yuffie,

I'll try to make you disappear.

Yuffie was too scared to scream

Then Vincent shot his gun

But he missed his target

So Yuffie turned to run.

Before Yuffie could get away

Vincent grabbed her arm.

He shot her twice in the head

Then Cloud came in alarmed.

"Vincent what's going on?"He said.

Then looked to where Yuffie now lay.

He stared at Vincent utterly shocked

"What did..." is what he began to say.

Vincent looked up at Cloud

A huge grin across his face

"Tifa! Barret! Cid!" Cloud called.

They all came running to the place.

They looked at Cloud and then at Vincent

All entirely confused.

Then they saw Yuffie's dead body on the floor

And looked at Vincent who was clearly amused.

"GASP! What ever will happen next?!?!"

Who knows? I don't even know!
