Anshi: ::ahem:: this Ronin warrior poem (copying the song 'That's My Job') is dedicated to Pop Flower Maxwell. I don't own Anubis (who is doin' the poem talking-thingy.) or Kaylynn. They're for Pop.

I woke up crying late one night,
When I was not so young.
I had dreamed that Kaylynn,
Had passed away and gone.
My world revolved around her
I couldn't lie there anymore.
So I made my way down the mirrored hall,
And tapped upon her door.
And I said "Kaylynn
I'm so afraid,
How can I go on,
With you gone that way?
Don't want to cry anymore,
So may I stay with you?"
And she said
"That's my job.
That's what I do.
Everything I do
Is because of you
To keep you safe with me.
That's my job you see."
Later we kind of got along.
That young warlord and me.
Most of the fights it seems
Were over different dreams,
We each held for me.
She wanted to make carnage,
'Cause I had to fight out west.
Said I could make it out there,
But if you really care,
I'll come and call in the best.
And I said "Kaylynn
I'm so afraid,
There's no guaranteed,
If fights go this way,
And if I should fail,
Who will bring me back home?"
And she said
That's my job.
That's what I do.
Everything I do is because of you,
To keep you safe with me.
That's my job you see.
Every person carves a spot,
And fills the hole with light.
And I pray someday I might,
Shine as bright as she.
Woke up early one bright fall day,
To spread the tragic news.
After all the battles,
We settled down,
Within a mile or two.
We made a living with words and rhyme.
And all this tragedy,
Should go into my head,
And out instead,
As bits of poetry.
And I said "Kaylynn,
I'm so afraid,
How can I go on,
With you gone this way?
How can I come up,
With a song to say
I love you?
....
That's my job.
That's what I do.
Everything I do is because of you.
To keep you safe with me.
That's my job you see.
Everything I do is because of you,
To keep you safe with me.
