Q
We've written volumes
In blood and scars and ink
We've told a million stories
Thought a million things
We've lived some hundred lives
Laughed our faces pink
And we did all just because,
Mischievous little minx

Imagine if you'd never spoken
Never showed me who you are
Imagine if you'd been quiet
And never helped me with wolf lore
(I'm grateful, by the way)
Imagine if you hadn't stayed
Then imagine how you did
And then reach out to feel me
Because I'm not leaving
And neither are you
We've got humor and care
(And your pain-******* hoodoo)
So when we get old
We'll smile and think
And reread the volumes we wrote
In blood and scars and ink
This poem was written for notthequiettype's fanfiction on Ao3. It was a wonderful read, thank you.
I went looking for God
but I found you instead.
Bad luck or destiny,
you decide.

Buried in the muck,
the soot of the city,
sorrow for an appetite,
devil on your left shoulder,
angel on your right.

You, with your thorny rhythms
and tragic, midnight melodies.

My heart never tried
to commit suicide before.

Thank you for everything,
Is what I should have said,
but I wasn't hard enough,
and now you are dead.

The last thing I said was,
look after your self won't you,
I gave you a hug,
but your strong clasp wouldn't do.

You said in return,
I'll hold on in here as long as I can,
I didn't know weather you were talking about,
your top floor flat or the withering man.

So I neglected you,
I wish you could see me now how I am,
my beautiful girl friend or my music,
or my good exams.

They said to me his body went before his mind,
he was wise on what was happening,
it wasn't a nice way to die,
they said they couldn't feed you with one of those baby bottle things.


You said he's got some strength,
that music I played at your funeral made it hard to stand,
it was my only way of proving it saying I'm sorry and thanks,
I wish you could see me now as a man.

You have left a mark
On me
And we haven't
Even

Because of you
Sleep eludes me
My soaring heart
And roaring mind
Will not.
Shut.
Up.
