In Our Hearts

A/N: A short little tribute to L, our favourite detective, who met his end at the tip of a shinigami's pen, and because of Light's schemes. Contains a little poem I composed.

This marks my tenth story/poem thing published! Hooray! –rejoices-

----------

He was the world's greatest detective.

Slain by a single mistake.

Slain by a shinigami named Rem.

Slain by a boy named Light.

But it didn't really matter.

He lives forever.

In our hearts.

Say goodbye to all my lies

Say goodbye to the tears I cried

The night that ran so long is now

Lost in the light of dawn

Shimmering into closing eyes

The light to darkness will defy

All my will to continue living

And allow me to die

I hear the sobbing of my friends

And comrades too around

But I'm thinking about heaven now

So I can't hear a sound

My heartbeat slows considerably

And I can't help but think

How those I leave behind will suffer

What the next day will bring

Finally I whisper one last word

To tell them it was time

That it was time for me to go

I tell them all 'goodbye'

Remember L.
