Author's Note/Disclaimer: Audrey is my favorite human character from Little Shop of Horrors, and so a lot of my fan fictions have to do with her personal feelings about things as I like to add depth to her character. This is why, to me, Audrey's death is the most powerful moment of the musical. I asked myself though, what would she think as she has just learned the truth about Seymour and his murderous secrets before she died? I came to a conclusion that she would compare her relationships with Orin and Seymour, and so I came up with in this sad, but interesting poem.
I am going to leave a final warning for those of you who do not read author's notes in bold so that you might see it. THIS IS PLAYVERSE! IT'S GOING TO BE SAD!
Okay, I'm done. Enjoy!

Gently
A Little Shop of Horrors Poem
by Laura L.
* * *
Hold me gently as I fade away,
For I still remember the days,
When we were not one,
And the world was so sad and painful.
*~~*~~*
When he would hold me tight,
I was afraid of the future.
It was not a lovers' hold, no,
It was a torturous grip.
But when you held me, safe and soft,
The world just went away.
It was just we two alone in the shop,
In an embrace so gentle.
*~~*~~*
When he and I were together
The world was like a nightmare.
Everything just flew by on his motorbike,
And I could only hang on tighter.
But when we were together,
Our world was beautiful.
Like a shining star's glow in the night sky,
The world glowed so gently.
*~~*~~*
When he kissed me so fiercely
I felt no heart at all.
Our lips met in a painful lock,
And I felt trapped and small.
But when you kissed me softly
Behind the shop that day,
I felt like I might fly
And all the pain blew away.
Never was a kiss so gentle.
*~~*~~*
Hold me very gently now,
For though I'm numb, I hurt inside.
My heart is yours, my dear Seymour,
As it will be forever.
I'll remember you wherever I go,
For your gentle touch,
I hope that my last gift will be enough before I go…
*~~*~~*
I follow the light,
So gently it glows.
