I don't know what happened here… One second I was pondering an idea to write about, the next, POOF! This was here. Hope you like it. It's about friendship, between Butler and Artemis. I had no idea whatsoever about Poetry Format, so I just left it in Story format.

I was going to put little snippets of writing in between, but then decided it didn't fit. That's why it's so short. I thought it was rather an overused ending, but there you go.

Today

Today I learned

My father was dead

And you still stayed

To put me in bed

Today I found

A threatening letter

Telling many lies, yet

You still made me feel better

Today my eyes

Gave passage to tears

You helped me get through

Their taunting leers

Today I tripped

And fell down the stairs

And there you were

Giving me your cares

Today my conscience

Yelled at me

And you helped me heal

You made me see

Today you saved me

For the fiftieth time

And I felt tainted knowing

I rarely gave you a dime

Today I was broken

When you almost died

I was begging for your life

When you sat up, I cried

Today I realized

That I was one of your top cares

I suppose I gave you

Quite a few gray hairs

Today I remembered

All the things I've done

And how you were there

For every single one

Today I didn't

Know what to do

So I sat down

And wrote this poem for you
