okay, this is a final fantasy 7 inspired poem, sorry but it has spoilers, some of it at least.

clang
my sword hits yours
causing sparks to dance
you taught me all i know now
and i'm using it to kill you.

why?
why did you leave?
you made it so difficult for me
i have to kill you
lest get killed myself.

dying
do i fear it?
fear it enough to kill my best mentor?
maybe so
maybe no

we whirl round and round
parrying blows like we used to do during training
where you'd call out to me what to do
what happened to those happy times?
what happened to us?

but i can't kill you
in some strange way
i love you like you're my father
i can't let you die
knowing it was because of me.

i drop my sword
as the ultimate sign of surrender
but i did it just as you lunged forward
the sword of your family's honour
slides into me.

strangely,
i don't feel much pain
i just feel at peace
even when i hear your cry of anguish
as my blood falls on your hands.

A/N: i don't expect that many of you know the story behind this, but i can't tell you, lest ispoil your fun if you choose to buy this game. in truth, to be ABSOLUTELY melodramatic, i nearly cried after Genesis commited suicide. i mean, i kinda indirectly killed him. and he was my favourite character. once i switched to Tseng as my fav character, he gets wounded! i'm a walking curse...
anyways, i can't seem to kill Angeal, but i wrote this cos i felt it's such an injustice on him to die at my hand, since he was my teacher. so i rewrote that bit as a poem.
hope you liked it
dedicated to all final fantasy fans of crisis core or anything else.
oh btw, i think Sephiroth looks pretty handsome, even though he has bad dress sense, haha
