Fullmetal Alchemist Fan Fiction ❯ Scars of Regret ❯ Living Nightmare ( Chapter 2 )

 

Hey, everyone! My second chappie is up. Hope you won't be disappointed!

 

Living Nightmare-Edward's remorse over his wounds and mistakes

 

I see a grave before me and I'm hit with a wave of dread

 

The mother I knew and loved has long been dead

 

Confirmed by my scarred memories yet I wish so desperately

 

That this grave belonged to anyone else—even me

 

 

A beast appears before me, the result of the greatest sin

 

And with horror I realize

 

That an innocent, tormented girl cries deep within

 

As I gaze into its hollow, empty eyes

 

 

A girl waits faithfully for me, yet showed mostly anger when I came

 

But I know it's simply an emotion to cover her pain

 

I'm reminded of the suffering I caused her when she'd cry

 

But all I can do is wistfully smile as I once again say goodbye

 

 

My brother, imprisoned and isolated in a prison of metal

 

Shows nothing but gentleness, understanding and care

 

No warmth, no hurt, no touch is for what he must settle

 

And the greatest burden of all is what he must bear

 

 

A mother, now only a distant memory I miss so

 

A darling child whom I'll never forget

 

A girl I love though she may never know

 

And a brother that has no face yet

 

 

My greatest desire is that this is all a nightmare

 

But I wake up and the pain and wounds are still there

 

These mistakes are swirling into broken dreams

 

And if I could die to reverse everything, I would without a care

 

 

Yet I must go on living…

 

Please review, and suggestions are greatly appreciated and desperately needed! I'm still working on the angst fic centering around Edward, so it's far from too late! Plus, the more I get the sooner I'll update!!! Thankies ^-^

 

Until Next Time,

-Dark Raven
