Author's note: Well, as a writer I have always found poetry intriguing and enjoying to write. It is quite a challenge, yet it is one I happily embrace. So, I thought I'd work up a little poem. This is mainly dedicated to my wonderful friend Anniepopokios, a lover of all things Bleach(especially things of the Kira and Gin type). She pretty much inspired me to write this! Basically, this poem is a few words of Gin Ichimaru as he leaves the Gotei 13. This is directed towards his assistant captain, who seems to have quite a trust in him. I hope you enjoy this. Please let me know what you think, and feel free to message me if there is any character you'd like a poem written after! I'd love to give it a shot!

Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach in any way. If I did, you'd be seeing a lot more of Kenpachi hehe...

Don't think…

It's a little too late

For your words to reach

These thoughts in my mind

Though your hopes I did teach

It's a little too late

To bring me from this choice

I've made up my mind

I've silenced your voice

Don't think you're abandoned

Don't think I don't care

Don't I've forgotten

Left you standing there

It's not that I've lost

All hope left inside

But it's time to start over

A change in the tide

This reality has shattered

Been living to long

Now why not quake the silence

How can waking up be wrong?

So don't think I'm cold

And don't think I'm cruel

Don't live on my words

Don't let them take rule

Don't cherish the moments

I've left them alone

Forget all about me

Find a new purpose

And find a new Home
