The Loss of Shinigami
As five bright smiles slowly fade
A burning flame has turned to jade
A pain is present in the air
An empty space none can repair
A happy laugh, a wondrous friend
Has lost his way and met his end
And now there is not five, but four
This loss brings longing, end this war
For one more face will cease to smile
The death brought on in sad and vile
And so we kneel around a grave
Where our friend Shinigami lay
And he will never breathe once more
The reaper came and closed the door
But his laugh whispers in the breeze
His happy smile in life and trees
I see his face every place I stand
In rugged earth, in gentle sand
I hear him speaking," Do not cry for in my eyes I did not die."
And I say," Shinigami go the pain is something you do not know."
So he's gone and won't come back
My life has been thrown all off track
He gave his life so that we might live
And such a precious gift to give
But why o Shinigami why
Why can I live when you can die
But Shinigami answers not
From his grave where he shall rot
But now I feel the guilt inside
Replace my normal strength and pride
I wonder why I never said
How I may feel if he were dead
If only I had let it show
So on his death bed he would know
'It wasn't hate I felt toward you
I admire each thing you do'
That's why I never spoke a word
For fear that Shinigami heard
But it's to late to tell him now
I wipe the sweat off my brow
I see the flowers in my hand
That Shinigami would think grand
And lay them gently on the ground
My heavy breathe the only sound
At last I speak a quiet prayer
"I hope you hear me under there
I miss you and I feel this pain
A wish to bring you back again
So hear me Shinigami do
And understand life's dull without you
Well if we ever meet again
I'll save confessions until then
I'm looking forward to that day
I miss you, Love your friend, Wufei."
