My first venture into the Avengers fandom. If you are waiting for an update on any of my Yu-Gi-Oh stories...you probably shouldn't. I'm not really into that fandom anymore.

Anyway! I own nothing, here's my sorry attempt at poetry.


"Heroes never die (until this one did)"

Heroes never die, they claim

Heroes will always find a way

So why, oh why, tell me why

Did this man (hero) have to die?

Why do his eyes no longer dance

Cunning shone there, once

An ability to bring any man to his knees

Why do his hands no longer twitch

Mind moving beyond even their speed

These inventions so many could never understand

Why does his heart not shine

Blueness radiating from a metal core

A machine for a heart, but who could challenge him?

Why does his mouth not move

Words of fire sprang from his tongue

Just shields for his shattered heart, his battered soul

He was a hero – don't deny it

He may have had faults

Not recommended

But those created him, and he was singular

He may have hurt so many

Merchant of Death

But he atoned for his wrongs, many times over

He may have even longed for darkness

Palladium in the chest

But he strove for the light, just days ago

So why, oh why, did he have to die?
