Fullmetal Alchemist Fan Fiction ❯ For My Mother ❯ For My Mother ( One-Shot )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]

For my Mother

You know we did it all

Just for you

And only you

We couldn't let you go

So we tried to be

Gods in our own minds

Surely Mother

There was nothing

Nothing else to lose

But we were wrong

We almost lost each other

Al says it all the time

The Law of Equivalent Exchange

Can't get without giving

So we gave it all

In the hopes that we could

Only in return

Gain you back

But it wasn't enough

It's never enough

To make that balance

The one needed

So now we search

For something

That could

Weight us out

That could

Give us balance

That could

Grant us peace

Because for you

My mother

Who spun our world round

For you

We lost everything

Even when there was nothing

Nothing else left to lose

And only for you

My mother

Did we gain

That tie that holds us together

And so I guess

In a sense

For you

We gained each other

And that is

The whole world

So in the end

I want to remember

The hell we went through

Just to realize

That what we had

Was just as good

And it took you

For us to know

That we were already

Truly happy

And that maybe

Just maybe

We could have lived

And to some extent

We could have been happy

Even if you weren't there

Physically to see our smiles

And to smile back

So I guess you know

It was all for you

The sun and the moon

Just for you

My mother

The stars cry

Because we miss you

The moon won't shine

For a heart no longer mine

The tides over flow

In our sadness

In our sorrow

In our pity

We weep for the non-feeling

We cry to the deaf ears

We call out to the mute

And this is only

Just only for us to say

We miss you

Only for you

My mother
