Disclaimer – I do not own or profit from Ed, Edd N Eddy. Rated PG for... um... nothing. Nothing at all. Not slash, though I suppose it could be considered so...

Special thanks to Mysticlynx for reminding me with her beautiful poem ("Wishful Thinking" – it's here. Check it out if you'd like to read her take on the enigma that is Sockhead...) that writing Ed, Edd N Eddy poetry can be a very rewarding experience.

I wrote this, so no taking, okay? Inspired by all the Eddy-bashing I was reading, I decided to write about him from the point of view of his biggest critic and (I firmly believe) his biggest fan. Enjoy. Peace, all.

They Never Knew You

by Eddward

-------------------

They never knew you

...But I did

They never knew the way you really felt

...But I did

They never saw the way you'd take care of us

Or give up your bed to me without a fuss

Or be there for me when I needed love

They never saw

...But I did

--------------------

They never took the time to get to know you

Just based their judgments on the stupid things you do

Never giving us a moment's peace

Thinking everything you do is just to fleece

They never took the time to see your depths

Or figure out why we never left

Like I am dumb enough to stay if you only caused me pain

They never took the time to use their brains

--------------------

They never knew you

...Not like I do

They never saw you

...Not like I do

They never gave you a chance

They never gave you a glance

It was all just happenstance

But they'll never change their stance

They think all you are is plans

So they'll never know

...But I do

--------------------

They never saw the joy you gave to us

The sweet way you'd look right before you raised a fuss

They never saw that you just liked to play

Your happiness was found in your less-than-gentle games

But you never once set out to hurt

So it upsets me when they say you're dirt

--------------------

Because I see, and I know they never do

They only see a jerk when they look at you

But underneath there's so much more to who you are

That's why I stand beside you as you hold that empty jar

--------------------

They never loved you

...But I do

They never loved you

...Not like I do

And they'll never see, they'll never see at all

But in my mind you stand at over seven feet tall

Because you are there whenever I fall

They never loved you

...But that's what I'll always do
