A poem from Keith to Shiro after Shiro disappeared after their battle with Zarkon, so this takes place during s3


A Leader's Lament

We had you

You were the team leader
After rescuing you from the enemy too
You were still strong and firm like cedar

It all happened so fast
Suddenly you're not here
We dealt with an incredible blast
And after the battle, you just up and disappear

You made me the leader in your absence
I even have Lance's support
And yes there has to be a balance
But I don't know if I'm ready to step into your court

Too often do I go offhand
I can't help but feel like a hack
The others don't understand
We need you back

I wish they could see what I see
I no longer have a father or mother
So you are special to me
In every way but blood you're my brother
