P/N: Now, now it's not like a eulogy for dying literally, but for a love gone. I may or may no write a reply poem by Arthur, your choice, my lovely reader.
To those of you who's not really exposed to modern poems, this is, practically, how to write one nowadays. Youtube has plenty of poem recital videos and I highly suggest you check 'em out.

Arthur,
I don't know how to write to you
To be completely honest, I don't know why I'm doing this,
Why I'm even bothering
Maybe there's the fact that she's persuading me and all,
Or that other one where here I am, just sitting on my desk,
Being raided by that wonderful sun kissed glow
Of orange and purple of the sunset,
Ravishing itself in front of me at my window
And I thought of you, how you liked the combination
Of these colors even though it's nowhere near green,
Your favorite hue
I don't know what to write to you
Am I supposed to tell you how my fingers feel like
Ice cold blades right now as they pressed the keys
Of which I use to write this to you?
Are you supposed to know how my body
Trembles with rhythm, never missing a beat as
It glides with my hands?
Are memories of you supposed to flow into me
Like a river of dauntless and savaged beasts,
Making its way into my head, thrashing everything
They see as they rush into my chest and make me
Feel more devoid than that of what I am feeling now?
Dear Arthur,
Dear sweet, lovable, beautiful, cruel Arthur,
Does responsibility comes with me not
Telling everything you didn't know?
Does privilege comes to you
As you live your life believing every word
I yelled that night, that eventful night
When you barged out with you bags and shirts
And that scarf I made you?
That scarf I used the needle of to cut myself when
I learned that you're finally looking at girls other than me
Finally realizing your mistake when you chose me
When you said no one could compare to me
Arthur,
I write poems,
But I do not write stories and plays and
I do not write like you do
But I write poems
I write you
But I'm afraid I write too much,
I wrote too much
To the point that I didn't realize I don't talk to you anymore
I don't say things I did anymore
I don't say things you should know
Arthur,
Do you know adorable you look when
You try to nuzzle in me when I pretend
To sleep and you get home from work
At one in the morning?
Arthur,
Do you know small you look to me as if
You always need me by your side to protect you
And how that makes me happy knowing
That you need me?
Arthur,
I'm sorry I pretended to be the hero.
Arthur,
I'm sorry I'm crying right now.
Arthur,
You're beautiful.
Arthur,
I never knew what I did wrong
I never knew what wasn't "enough"
Arthur,
You never knew because I never told you
That I love you to a different point now
I'm loving you for all of my life now
And I thought you'd want that
Arthur,
You left me
And I let you
But you're the one to blame
Arthur,
I'm tired
I love you
I used the word 'Arthur' so many times that it sounds so weird now. Arthur. . . Arthur. . . Arthur
Or it's just me coping with those feels I made myself feel when I was writing this poem. *sighs*
Okay.
Thank you for reading this poem! Please R&R and if you want a poem by Arthur (explanations that is), I can write that for you!
Who knows, we can even make this a fic with just a poem for their POVs.
