A/N-This has no names in it, so please note that the he, in italics is a different he then the other. Katniss, Peeta, and Gale.
Disclaimer-I am still not Suzanne Collins, no matter how obsessed I am with her literature.
Enjoy :)
"Please don't do this."
That's all she said,
and she couldn't say one more thing.
She touched her fingers to his head
as she handed him back the ring.
"I still love you."
The thought was cold
and it swam around in her chest.
She never thought that she'd feel this old,
as the weight of the world pressed.
"I'm so sorry."
But she couldn't say
exactly how she felt.
She wanted it to go away,
but this was how she dealt.
Her head buzzed
as she fought for control
over her beating heart.
In her body was a gaping hole;
the pain from the very start.
She turned around
and started to walk away,
leaving him for one last time.
He was watching her not be okay;
his heart pounded at the crime.
He held her tight
and whispered in her ear,
but it didn't mean a thing.
She pulled away and didn't hear.
He went back and grabbed the ring.
"We'll see you soon."
The chorus said,
dropping him into the dirt.
She pulled her hood above her head,
because she alone was hurt.
"Time to go."
He told her twice.
She buried her face in her sleeve.
He tried but simply couldn't entice
her to truly leave.
So he walked away
and left her sitting by his grave.
As tears fell down her ashen face,
he was all that she could crave,
and her heart began to race.
"I can't leave you."
But no one heard
and she ended up flat on the ground.
She couldn't say a single word.
Her sobs were the only sound.
"I need it back."
She began to dig into the soil,
searching for the ring of his,
her heart racked with turmoil;
pain is all there is.
The tears fell down
as she finally saw his suit,
covered in dirt and grass and things,
his mouth forever mute.
His hand was clasped around no rings.
"That's it then."
She realized at last
they just weren't meant to be.
She couldn't hold on to the past.
"All that's left is me."
A/N-So, I just want to point out that it was terribly sad to write about Peeta being dead. I hope you all got what this was supposed to be... it's Peeta's funeral, if you hadn't noticed. Anyway, I hope you liked it.
