Just some stuff I do when I'm in the mood to.
I'm an amateur, and barely write poems anymore.
So far, I only have one, that I just wrote, because I can't seem to find my old ones.

Ever since we first met
I wait for the sun to set
because with the pale moon
comes the chance to see you soon
Everyday, I see the sun rise
and look out with my sore eyes
to the field where we played
on those cold winter days
Could it be you forgot
the promise that we made
was it all for not
or am I still to wait
Everyday, I watch the sky change
though these memories remain the same
this secret that we kept
wasn't the only reason that I wept
I knew how it would end
because you were not like my kin
but I knew that you lived on
in my heart, i would know if you had gone
Then one day, to my surprise
I woke up and opened my eyes
to see you there, with youth still clear
and oh, I could barely hear
as you hummed to me
our little song
I couldn't help but sing along
My heart was swollen
I could not see
for all that you had done for me
was nothing compared
to this evening that we shared
At last, I can be free
free from this realm eternally
I have lived my life, done as I please
and now that you've returned to me
I can go now, I can leave
for this world has nothing left for me
Thank you, my friend
for always holding my hand
Thank you, my love
For never giving up
Thank you, my heart
for being strong from the start
I am aged, I am old
I can not bare to be so bold
as to tell you to never leave
to place your heart on my sleeve
you be strong, never give up
but don't waste your life on the thought of us,
this body of mine, it can do no more
though yours has many years before
you have to settle down and slow
it's just how these things go
So, my love, don't wait for me
it will only lead to misery
Everyday, I saw the moon rise
but tonight I can close my eyes
for the last time, with you by my side
who could ask for a better goodbye
