How fun...my first Avatar fanfic! (Or rather...fan poem.) Anyways, it's kind of Maiko, because that's basically my favorite pairing right now. Hope you enjoy it; leave a review telling me if I did well or not. I don't know. T-T This takes place the morning/day that Zuko leaves...

Too Late

I had a dream last night

Of boats sailing away

Grey clouds high above

My sorrow pierced heart

Beating anxiously for you

I believe you do not know

And now you never will

My feelings kept a secret

Too long, too late

For me to say anything

But why would I take the chance

When you were still among us

I cannot break my mask just yet

My face will frown

Still stolid

But beneath my skin

Just like the waves you travel

Surges of emotion, tossing

Turning, never ceasing

I waited till the final moment

Too long, too late

You are banished from home

Meant to sail past the horizon

Determined to return one day

Restore what was lost

Yet all the while

Forgetting whatever tie we shared

I fear it is because my hesitation

And now it is too late.


Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed it. :)
