A poem is from Keith to Shiro after he left for the Kerberos mission, so this is before they become paladins.


Declaration at Dusk

Ok so I'm doing this and my stomach is in knots

I'm not so great at communicating
But I'll try my best to express my thoughts
So I hope this isn't too grating

My life has been pretty crappy
You know, just a tad
Still, you watched out for me
The first person to do so since my dad

When you really didn't have to
Yet you pushed me to be the best
Even when I didn't believe it was true
I was not a nobody, that, you adamantly stressed

Now your gone and I'm lost
Well not literally
From the Garrison, I was tossed
Again my life is without consistency

Sometimes that gets me kind of down
My life is not the same
You're not around
But it's not you I'm going to blame

I don't know what went wrong
The news making it seem like you're a lost cause
Since you've been out of reach for so long
But I'm not afraid to break some laws

To what the Garrisons says, I can't adhere
I have no doubt in my mind
That one day you'll reappear
And I promise to get you out of that bind

If anyone tries to pull anything
I'll make sure to do a rescue mission
As sure as the birds sing
Doing so of my own volition

So I'll just wait for my chance
Out in my desert shack
Anticipating when I can further advance
Doing whatever it takes to get you back
