Companion poem to Petrichor, from Envy's point of view. I don't like it quite as much as Petrichor…but I'm really dang proud of that one.
It's really weird having a buffer. I was all like 'GOTTA GET NUMBER 39 DONE' then it's like 'hold on a secooooond'…
Pen-Name-Kitsune-Chan: OHGODI'MSOSORRY I'm losing track of people's reviews _ I keep replying to your ones on Hero so I get confused! I'm definitely going to take your ideas into consideration…I'm feeling like I'm getting a bit repetitive, so thank you for the brainwave It's been a while since I've watched the 2003 series, and I'm not sure I ever honestly finished it, while I finished Brotherhood like a month ago. I'm glad you like 'Mayflies' – it feels very 'snapshot-y' to me. We don't know the full story – we're never going to. It's just two people having a conversation. Oh, and Al being sneaky. XD
36. Gone by morning
Hold out your hands.
Catch three raindrops
Pretend they're mine if it makes you feel better.
Close your eyes
Close your window
Or leave it open, I don't care.
When you look at me
You look at me
You look and you see
And it hurts like hell.
When you touch me I feel it
And it scares me to death
You burn and you freeze
Melting ice and cooling the flames.
I'm not the one you want
The one person I can't be
I'll be gone by morning
So don't look for me.
Don't believe for a moment
That I'm ever going to change
It takes more than the sun
It takes more than the rain
Don't believe for a moment
That I'm doing this for you
Because I'm not.
I swear.
I'm not.
So stand in the rain but look away
Because I don't want to see your face
Smeared with tears and torn with fears
I told you I wouldn't be staying here
Why aren't you afraid
Of the Big Bad Wolf?
Why aren't you afraid
Of what bumps in the night?
Why aren't you afraid of me?
What am I doing right?
I don't know anywhere good this can lead
I'll be gone by morning so don't look for me
