AN: Another pre-series royai poem. I really like playing with the idea of innocence a lot. This poem is about how despite Roy and Riza always seeming to be together, almost as two sides of the same coin, they can never share the memories of before they met each other. They can talk about it, but they can't really experience them.
And thank you very much to Tigrette-of-Fire for reviewing my poem "Dreamers". It is very much appreciated!
Enjoy this piece and don't forget to review :D
6. Before This (Us)
He remembers a childhood
Littered with girls,
A Madame
And a filled bar.
His parents?
Not so much.
But he is reassured that
They were noble people.
She remembers a childhood,
A much quieter incarnation.
A recluse father,
In a empty large house.
Her mother ?(Or all relatives for that matter)
Not so much.
Some hint that she looks,
Very much like her
What happens on these
Separate pages,
Will be memories close to each's heart.
Soon these days
Will disappear
And seem like
They were always together
Since birth...
But when we come
Into this world
We come alone.
If we're lucky
There are people to
Help us each step of the way.
It never occurs to them
As they read the fairy tales
What the future will be
What they will become
The things they have to do
The dreams they have
There's innocence in this...
Two become one
In unison
But before that happens
They spend these days
Blissfully unaware of the event to come
The great meeting;
This is what it was like before
As much as we know each other's
Deepest darkest secrets,
Or fears
Desires
Dreams
These carefree days
Is what we hope to share
But can never really know
This is what it was like
Before us
