Castaway
Note: I wrote this about a year and a half ago for a fic, in which it never made an appearance! ::weak cheer:: Buuut, I sort of stared at it today and realized that 'oh my, this could be Roy speaking' So there you go



Tell me what I never saw
What more is there you need say?

What have they stolen from you that you cherished,
What innocence tainted beyond repair?

What am I to be your safehaven in a hell among war? It is unfair to you
I've known suffering and forever, the cruelty is to you, not I

I was raised among the war and folly, the pain and fear
It is nothing that has not been seen by my eyes and felt by my hands

Here we lay stranded, the few among the many,
The pure among the pain and fear.

We go on with bloodied hands and faces, but the heart stays clean and truthful.
Then we carry forth...

But wait dear being, can you not hear? The guards are gone.

We've been left among the others, those like us and unbroken.
They, we may lean on, for their trust is as faulty as our own

We are not so alone as that one small glimmer should have shown us,
We each have that by which we need for sight.

Please not worry fair being, your light will not be banished to the depths.
Just let it be hidden away, and soon you shall be seen

Soon you shall be safe among us all in hearts to rest.
Just wait and see while I protect you.

Going to sleep with the lullaby, and wake to see my pretty face?
Among the others we be, the crowd of misfits and used.

Rest now, we've found sanctuary
I've found haven


Oh yeah... it's a poem
