Hey everybody this is my first fanfic so please be nice. I know it's just a short poem but I am working on a story as well called Ember. Basically, this is a poem about Max's feelings towards Fang. I wrote it for my Advanced English class and decided to post it.

No one is here beside me, like you used to be.

When you are not around, it's like a dark black cloud is covering the sun.

Your eyes, a key into your soul.

Your smile like a remedy for all of my fears.

A warm, inviting sanctuary where I can take refuge from the gruesome troubles of the world

and just be the person I know I am before duty calls again.

My rock when things are tough.

Your dark shirt a sponge for all of my tears.

I wish this moment would last and nothing would change.

Your sleek black wings as graceful as a hawk.

Your voice a sweet yet meaningful, melancholy melody.

A soft, calming, thoughtful whisper in the wind.

Our wings moving in sync across the bright blue sky filled with the smell of the clean, thin air.

Our soft unspoken agreement like an invisible string keeping us together.

No one can keep us apart

Our friendship a bond like steel.
