A/N: This poem/song was inspired by two things: 1) A few of my favorite anime couples, namely Ed x Winry from Fullmetal Alchemist and Hoshino x Tanabe from Planetes. And 2) while my dad was in Iraq, he heard "My Immortal" for the first time and said he loved the idea behind it...but it was too sad/depressing because "the chorus was in past tense instead of present tense." So he asked me if maybe I could take the same concept and do my own thing with it. I guess this is it. XD Depending on how you look at it, this could be a close friendship, a romance or something in-beteen.
I wasn't really trying to write anything particularly deep or angsty or meaningful; the words just sorta popped out. So...yeah, sorry if it's not my best. Hope you enjoy this. :)
Winry's Song - Let Me Save You
How many times do I have to knock
Some sense into you?
How long are you going to bear
A load too heavy for you?
'Cause every ship needs a harbor
And even heroes need saving
And you're no exception
I'm here to wipe away the tears
You won't let others see
I'm here to listen to your fears
Secret though they be
When you need to, please
Come share your pain
It's okay to let it out and let it go
And if nothing else
I just want to let you know
That I'm here to be your strength
I'll let you cast out demons
If you'll let me chase away
All these ghosts that haunt your eyes
I'll let you battle the darkness
If you'll let me fight your nightmares
And sing you back to sleep
I'll let you slay the dragon
If you'll let me cut down the guilt inside you
I'll let you chase the horizon
If you'll come back to me when you get tired
I'll let you save the world
If you'll let me save you
I'm trying to break these walls down
I want to lead you out of this labyrinth
Please don't shut the world out
Let me in, just for a moment
I'm here for you and I've been here all along
You don't have to be so strong
Let me be the one to carry
The world for once
Go on and chase your dreams,
Fix your errors, fight your wars
I'll be here when you come back
Weary and battleworn
And like always, I'll repair the dents
Kiss the bruises, replace the broken parts
And maybe someday
Healing grace will finally reach your battered heart
And you'll know joy again
But for now
When your demons whisper
I'll chase them all away
And they won't dare haunt your eyes
And when you wake up screaming
I'll help you fight the nightmares
And sing you back to sleep
And while you slay the dragon
I'll try to cut down the guilt inside you
And as you chase the horizon
Remember to return when you get tired
I know you'll save the world
Just please let me save you

I'm Trying to be me
Why can't I be?
I'm trying to show
why can't this feeling go?
Ohh... can't you see?
I'm trying to be me
No matter If you're short or tall
No matter If you have this all
Just have your life with whom you want
No matter what people has to say
and just move on, on your way
Everybody has something to share
and everybody has someone to care... about
people could be real with you
and mostly they could courtesy you
Just forget about them
No matter if you're punk or rock
No matter if you have a bad look
Just have your life with whom you want
No matter what people has to say
and just move on, on your way
Just forget...just forget... Just forget
what people has to say
and just move on, on your way!

He can handle her worst
hold fast to dreams,
for if dreams die,
life is a broken winged bird,
that can not fly.
the night is a big black cat,
the moon is her topaz eye,
the stars are the mice she hunts at night,
in the field of the sultry sky.
the mirror is the magic of man,
for his quest throughout time,
has been to see himself,
to know himself as others do,
and the mirror is his tool,
however, he must remember,
that the mirror shows everything,
exactly in reverse.
you are drowning yourself in sorrow,
holding close your memories of regret,
you hope then tomorrow,
the memories you shall forget,
but they never really leave you,
no, they are always here,
but in time someone will change them,
to memories that are so dear.
