Hey guys~ Consider this poem a teaser for my possibly up-and-coming fic Gifted Aegis. It's a crossover of a few different anime I like including (but not limited to) Angel Beats, Junjou Romantica, and Death Note. See my user profile for more details. This was published under the SoD and DN fandoms simply because Sands of Destruction is the origin of the main character, Kyrie and Death Note because it sets the tone of the fic nicely. So, without further ado, this is GA's poetic teaser. Enjoy~
"When I was a kid, I used to think
The stars cried fireflies."
-Kyrie Illunis Gifted Aegis
Fireflies
With my luck,
I knew I'd find you
On a headstone
Or obituary
Somewhere.
With my luck
I knew I'd love you
Though it would never be returned.
The stars cry fireflies
For all the years you're gone.
But now you're here beside me
And I pray you'll never leave.
The stars cry fireflies
For all the years you left.
With my luck,
I'm facing demons
Both mine and his.
Now my curse has knocked me down
And I can't get off the concrete
Crumbling beneath me.
But here you are
Tackling the demon,
Pulling me back up
When I can't remember falling.
What were you waiting for?
The stars cry fireflies
To heal all of our wounds.
Happy endings
Boys like me never have 'em.
But here we are
Mountain air around us.
The stars cry fireflies
And like kids, we catch their tears.
