Rains Only On Me

By Gentle Azrael

WARNING: SPOILERS FOR EPISODE 25!

Words tear at what's left of my heart

"Mommy, they can't bury daddy! He still has work to do"

Voice of a desperate angel

"Daddy can't work if they bury him"

I just can't take it anymore

Yet still the tears won't come

Despite the fact I can hear her crying

Despite the fact I can hear his child pleading for them to stop

Stop burying her daddy because he has to work still

I just stare forward at them slowly laying him to rest

Brigadier General Maes Hughes

I wish I could laugh at that

How he had always promised to help me rise up

And yet here he is, dead, and he beat me

I want to laugh and cry at the same time

I'm actually amazed that I'm not

Yet, after Ishbal, I still wondered if I had any tears or sorrow left

Guess I was wrong

Now I wish I wasn't

Tears won't come till it rains

And it always seem to rain

Only on me

Rest in Peace Maes

I won't let your death be in vain

I'll get them for you

I will get them for you

Author's Notes:

Woohoo Mustang's POV on Maes' death. I had this floating around my head for awhile so I finally let it out. Well anyway be kind. Poetry is a fragile thing, please don't break it x.x Not yet anyway.
