Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ "Silent Tears" ❯ Silent Tears ( Prologue )

"Silent Tears"

He says he is Shinigami, and that he cannot cry

Never a drop of moisture would pass those amethyst eyes.

Even though the words he speaks, these words are not new

And deep within my soul I feel it, these words, are not true.

For I have seen his heart, I have seen his soul…

How I have seen them cry,

Every night he weeps as he gazes into the bluest, darkest skies.

God of Death, alas, was his fate cast and spun.

Regardless of his noble heart or all the good that he has done.

Forever to be apart from the Earth he loved so well,

Fated to be its destroyer, as the story tells.

He says that he is Shinigami, and that he cannot cry.

Alone he is fated to be, as the universe passes by.

But alone he is not, for that I know is true.

Even though he shuns away from me, because of what he must do.

The silent tears I see him cry, come from within his heart.

Unseen, misunderstood and I see it tear him apart.

They says the Shinigami has nor heart or soul,

For me I know better of the young man my arms now enfold.

He cries for the pain of others, for the ones that he must take.

He cries for the helpless, and for the decisions he must make.

His tears, so painful, are unseen by mortal eyes,

But I see the tears within his heart, burn like a funeral pry.

I try to ease his sorrow; I try to ease his soul

But no words can completely erase all that he must know.

I have seen the Shinigami, and how I have seen him cry.

Death is not an emotionless specter that you pray passes you by.

Who am I, that I know Death so well?

I am merely a specter, a soul within a human shell.

But how can that be? One would debate….

Who better to know Death, then simple mortal of fate?

Death and I go hand and hand, as this universe goes by.

And his story I will tell, until the end of time.

And Speak I will always, all these passing years,

Of the young man I know as `Death', and all his silent tears.
