Just a little something I wrote last night, I kinda like it even if it is a bit angsty! I hope you enjoy reading this one!

Today Is Your Birthday
Mikan, today is your birthday
I know it is your birthday because Hotaru told me last night
Today could be my last day
Today could be our last day.
I did not expect the last time I saw your annoying face to be; 'the last time'.
Three long, dark weeks ago I did not expect it to be my last mission.
Two years ago, we sat alone together under your tree, back to back.
You told me you loved me, I pretended to read, trying to ignore your words.
"I'm dying" I finally whispered.
"I know" you replied.
I don't sleep, I don't eat, I don't live
Every minute of every hour of every day I just lie.
And every day, you're there.
Sometimes you just sit until you fall asleep,
Sometimes you brush the hair away from my face and kiss my forehead and eventually,
your head falls onto the bed and your breath tickles my arm.
Sometimes you creep under the covers in the dead of night and hold on to me,
Gripping my shirt as if to keep me here, for one more day.
They think I can't hear them in my state.
In this void.
They tell you that I'm weak, that my body is tired, that I may not pull through.
You clasp my hand and tell them if I don't pull through, you'll do it for me.
I have other visitors too, but when you're here, they fade into nothingness.
Today is your birthday,
And instead of spreading your annoying smile around school you sit at my bedside.
You trace patterns on the back of my hand with your finger.
You say anything that comes into your empty head.
You keep me awake with your meaningless words.
And then, by some devine miracle, I am afforded one last chance
"Today is my birthday." you whisper.
"I know" I reply.
This is my first poem so I would really appreciate it if you could let me know what you think, it really means a lot to me. thanks.
