Notes: I sometimes just write poetry to clear extra phrases out of my head. That's what happened with this one. I snuck a few good lines in. It's a poem with a sort of plot too. Duo POV.
There was a time when every word you said
was a spiderweb just waiting for me.
I got trapped in the strands by three tiny ones,
your kisses holding me until I stuck.
There was a time when war was forgotten
when we danced together like it would never end.
Yet, beneath it all, I knew it must,
as all good things do in my life.
There was a time when we were supernatural;
you were an angel, I was a demon.
We transcended boundaries, breaking them,
and haven't seen each other since.
There was a time when you loved me,
and I fit so divinely in your arms.
Somehow those meager beginnings
met a bitter end.
There was a time when I loved you,
and you could do no wrong.
Funny how I lie to myself,
but not the rest of the world.
There was a time when we found peace
entwining in passion's play.
Now, the play is done, the curtain's dropped,
the lights are out, and you are gone.
There was a time when I could talk to you,
and you'd console me with three little words.
Somehow it passed that you forgot them,
claiming we were only friends, instead.
There was a time when I hated you
for treating me like a child's toy.
I became a game that masters played.
You beat the game, and got the high score.
There was a time when you hurt me
with your manipulation and awful words.
How I ever could have thought you loved me...
Why can't the disease of love have a cure?
There was a time when you were Heero,
and I was Duo who loved you so.
No connection between the two remains
except in past tense mumblings.
There was a time when I forgave you,
because you didn't know what you had done.
Then I hear you brag on the telephone
that the bet is over, you have won.
There was a time when you broke me
by betting on my feelings.
What kind of bastard bleeds love
for five bucks and a Coke?
There was a time when we were us,
but that time is gone.
I can say I love a bastard,
and, you? You've got your Coke.
Owari. ^__~
