The Night I had to Say Goodbye

By: little_mew2

I will always remember that dreadful night,
The night I received that call.
A grim voice spoke the news of the accident.
You spun off the edge of that cliff and met your doom.
Shinigami's fate lied in that deep ravine.

I remember how I cried,
And cried,
And cried.
I couldn't drive to the hospital,
My hands shook and my body rattled.

It was your best friend that drove me.
Tears upon tears were shed over you.
When I saw you lying there
I broke down.
There was deep crimson blood covering your still face.

They told me how you came to this fate,
How you spun off,
How the tree branch punctured your heart.
I cried.
Shinigami was gone forever,
My brother was dead.

I had to say my goodbyes to you,
But somehow no words could escape my tongue.
I wouldn't believe that you lay here dead
Right in front of me.

But somehow I managed my goodbyes.
It was harsh and cruel
To leave you there with no one.
But I said goodbye to you,
Shinigami,
In my own quiet way.
Though you are Shinigami
You are still my brother.

This night I say farewell,
But I shan't say it for forever.
I shall meet you again someday, somehow.
May it be in my dreams,
Or in years to come
When I see you in the Great Above.
