I DO NOT own TMNT.
I had to put lines instead of spaces cause Fanfiction hates me...
"Do you know what I do when I miss my loved ones from the past? I focus on the friends I am surrounded by in the present."
- Master Splinter (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, 2012, Season 2: Slash and Destroy) -
To all the friends I've lost.
Far away where woods met sea,
Stood a lonely willow tree.
And that's where I saw you sit,
Shikomizue against your hip.
Monday, I see my best friend.
Tuesday, focus on my Zen.
Wednesday, our fight pushes through.
Thursday, I go and see you.
Friday, it's my bros' free day.
Saturday, our fight array.
This is how it used to be,
When it was just you and me.
All our weapons were in use,
Our foes were never in truce.
Our fights were on every night,
I guess it went on alright.
The time quickly passes by
With no chance to say goodbye.
Now that I am all alone,
All I wish is you'll come home.
Believe me, I always try
To find out the reason why.
To find out where we went wrong,
Why we couldn't get along.
It unravelled long ago,
(The cheerful times never show)
Friendships that are always best,
Are then later laid to rest.
Fought together, weapons in hand,
Encountered something completely unplanned.
You saw this popular group
And did not hesitate to join their troop.
And for them you left my side.
The sacrifice of your pride.
The person that I once knew
Quickly changed and was gone too.
Personalities collide,
Bonds of friendship were untied.
Up in a blaze of glory,
No chance to say you're sorry.
Friendship just a memory.
Now you're just an accessory,
Of this quite humongous crowd
Where our fun is not allowed.
Now here comes the sudden twist:
You didn't deserve any of this.
You didn't need fancy stuff.
What you had was fancy enough.
Familiar with the hurt
Of getting kicked to the dirt.
When your friend needed you most,
You shut the door of friendship closed.
Do I sometimes cross your mind?
Your good friend you left behind?
The friend you so cleanly erased,
Because you felt they took up space?
Even when I think this through,
I still go on missing you.
Even though it's clear to see,
Nothing will make sense to me.
All our weapons are rusting,
Bradford's dojo needs dusting,
All fights have been postponed.
All that waits is the unknown.
Monday, I'm bored all again.
Tuesday, think of you now and then.
Wednesday, there's nothing to do.
Thursday, I'm thinking of you.
Friday, the day of regret.
Saturday, still nothing yet.
This is now, while you're gone.
Me and no one to count on.
Now, tonight, alone I lie,
Beneath the tree you used to cry.
The tree has wilted away,
But here, alone, I still stay.
Don't let me get in your way.
Don't let me ruin your day.
You go have fun with the rest.
Just remember: you were the best.
Life's too short to dwell on the past,
Even if friendship didn't last.
I always think of your face,
No one can ever take your place.
And time, time, and time again,
I'm still missing my old friend.
But it's time to face the fact,
My best friend isn't coming back.
You can review about who you think the poem was about! It doesn't matter what TMNT character it is or from what world they're from.
