Disclaimer – I do not own or profit from Ed, Edd N Eddy. Rated PG for... um... nothing. Nothing at all. Not slash, though I suppose it could be considered so...
Special thanks to Mysticlynx for reminding me with her beautiful poem ("Wishful Thinking" – it's here. Check it out if you'd like to read her take on the enigma that is Sockhead...) that writing Ed, Edd N Eddy poetry can be a very rewarding experience.
I wrote this, so no taking, okay? Inspired by all the Eddy-bashing I was reading, I decided to write about him from the point of view of his biggest critic and (I firmly believe) his biggest fan. Enjoy. Peace, all.

They Never Knew You
by Eddward
-------------------
They never knew you
...But I did
They never knew the way you really felt
...But I did
They never saw the way you'd take care of us
Or give up your bed to me without a fuss
Or be there for me when I needed love
They never saw
...But I did
--------------------
They never took the time to get to know you
Just based their judgments on the stupid things you do
Never giving us a moment's peace
Thinking everything you do is just to fleece
They never took the time to see your depths
Or figure out why we never left
Like I am dumb enough to stay if you only caused me pain
They never took the time to use their brains
--------------------
They never knew you
...Not like I do
They never saw you
...Not like I do
They never gave you a chance
They never gave you a glance
It was all just happenstance
But they'll never change their stance
They think all you are is plans
So they'll never know
...But I do
--------------------
They never saw the joy you gave to us
The sweet way you'd look right before you raised a fuss
They never saw that you just liked to play
Your happiness was found in your less-than-gentle games
But you never once set out to hurt
So it upsets me when they say you're dirt
--------------------
Because I see, and I know they never do
They only see a jerk when they look at you
But underneath there's so much more to who you are
That's why I stand beside you as you hold that empty jar
--------------------
They never loved you
...But I do
They never loved you
...Not like I do
And they'll never see, they'll never see at all
But in my mind you stand at over seven feet tall
Because you are there whenever I fall
They never loved you
...But that's what I'll always do
