"That's why…"

Crystals

Showers

Tears

Friendship

Family

All lost

Life

Hiding

All too long

Fear

Torture

Fleeing away

Changes

Charges

Ghosts

Ruins

Memories

Responsibilities

Youth

Gone

Rules

Laws

Broken long ago

In his desperate attempts

To change history

Blue and cyan

Yellow and gold

Overcome by black flames

Time

Days

Turned into millennia

Awakening

Suffering

All brought to end

"That's why I want you to kill me."

Departure

Past ages

Caused by our life in the future

I leave the one

Forced into our problem

With the last remnant

Of the Golden Age

Forever stopped of reproduction

For now

Translucent blue

To look through

To the fragments of memories

A choice

Given to the one

To determine the future

Determine

Or cause

My last gift

His last fear

Lives flicker off

To meet our time

Everything's connected

Everything lives

Everything dies

Everything repeats

Everything eventually comes together

Tears fade away

Fade away to the rain

Showers form puddles

Puddles fill pools

Shimmering in twilight

The light that sees all

And reflects off everything

Bringing them together

Under one

The one that bears

The last crystal

Not much to say about this. I wrote it during English class, so it's not my best. This is also one of my first attempts at a form of poetry, so no flames, please. I needed a short break from my main story, Purple Chaos, so I'll work with Final Fantasy for a while and update the other soon.

Anyway, gracias for reading! I usually like to write longer one-shots, but I felt this one couldn't be lengthened any more. Oh well. :)
