BY: Amber Rose - or http://artsylittlgerbilgrl.deviantart.com/ (SOURCE) It's written from Cloud's POV. I DID NOT WRITE THIS! _____________________________________ The trees had bark of palest white That gleamed within the moon’s fair light They towered on beyond my sight And lit the dark and starless night My eyes were red, my throat was dry I swallowed down an anguished cry My destination was nearby Beyond the black and hollow sky In my arms I held a flower Whose blood had chilled within the hour And without her gentle power My world was broken, empty, sour Blood pooled from her soft white skin And flowed from where the sword had been The scarlet steeped my soul in sin And crushed my heart and mind within Though agony had left me blind The lake was there for me to find My fate was brutally unkind: I had to leave her there behind No words could ease my trampled heart Her death had torn my world apart The end had come before the start It seemed she came just to depart Her laughter and her joyful grace The smile always on her face Had vanished now without a trace All stolen by death’s cold embrace I wondered in despairing pain If she had sacrificed in vain Her eyes like emerald champagne Were shut in prayer when she was slain What was it she had tried to do? What plan had she been clinging to? Was hope what she’d hoped to renew Before the blade had ran her through? I tightly cradled her small frame Within my mind I spoke her name My body shook with violent shame I knew with guilt I was to blame Into the moonlit lake I stepped Within my arms my angel slept I trembled and in silence wept This fate was too cruel to accept I wanted this to be a dream A nightmare or a villain’s scheme But since I could not wake or scream I carried her into the stream The water lapped against my waist I looked at her as my heart raced She could not ever be replaced I let her die; I was disgraced I had to leave her here alone The bravest girl I’d ever known The one for whom my love had grown Although it was not ever shown She was still lovely to behold Despite her body turning cold I longed to voice my love untold Of passion I’d tried to withhold With tenderness I stroked her face Each feature was my own to trace But once I left this solemn place She would be lost from my embrace I knew at last the time had come And so my arms both weak and numb Released the girl from Midgar’s slum Whose loss I could not overcome She sunk into the basin clear My hope, my light, the one so dear I watched my true love disappear Beneath the water’s crystal leer When she had vanished from my view I felt my whole heart crack in two My eyes were stricken, glassy, blue I ached and burned with pain anew The world was a failing device That suffered trapped in mankind’s vice And she had gladly paid the price With her most selfless sacrifice Her gift rekindled our frail hope Put victory within our scope But with her death I could not cope And spiraled on a downward slope I lost the one I had lived for But I would go and fight this war And in my heart that day I swore That in death we would meet once more. |

Come away, oh human child, to the waters and the wild.

Woah -- that was really good. It was very lovely and descriptive without ever crossing the line into cheesiness. Some of the lines were particularly touching. For example, "it seemed she came just to depart" was one that struck me as pretty and sad. Like you said, I think the whole poem is an accurate portrayal of Cloud's feelings on the situation. |
