Author's Note: I hadn't written anything MR-esque in so long that I just felt compelled to, but I was too lazy to come up with a story. So instead you get this most strange poem! I had fun with the spacing...*cackles eeevilly*

Let go.

I watch you crying and wish that you could

S h i n e

The way you used to.

You taught me to fly;

It seems grief has robbed you of your

O w n w i n g s .

Please don't make me bear the

A g o n y

Of watching, endlessly watching

Your flame

F l i c k e r i n g . . .

F l i c k e r i n g . . .

To the faintest of whispers

To see you be

Anything less than

B e a u t i f u l .

G r i e f .
