Leaking Eyes

Summary: My first fanfiction poem. Technically AU.
A/N: I have no idea where this came from. None at all.
One day the strangest sight I spied:
An android with leaking eyes
Standing by a row of graves
That held the bravest of the brave
The Captain, well spoken, staying steadfast in storm
The Empath, mending minds when they were torn
The Engineer, keeping the ship together
The Doctor that made the ailing better
The Warrior, so proud and strong
Warrior enough
To admit his wrongs
The Gambler, loyal and still a boy at heart
Death and time
Had torn the crew apart
That pale man was the last one left
And he looked rightfully bereft
He'd buried friends
That he thought more
A family
He lacked before
They laughed and lived and fought with him
But were gone at the cosmos whim
The graveyard flowers would decay
But the memories would stay
Stay with him for all his life
Trough trouble, problems, joy and strife
And as he walked back to the shore
He knew they'd gone
Were men had gone before
A/N: Definitely not my best piece. I will not even start to consider everything about this that screams 'mediocre writing'. It's also hopelessly cheesy. But to hell with it, a poem is a poem, maybe someone will enjoy it. Thanks for reading. :)
