Hi everybody! Um... I only got one review in the last chapter. So I'm kind of worrying that no one is reading this anymore. Additionally, I already have 25 poems and 94 reviews. So I think that's it for this story. It's all enough. This will be my last poem for this story. If you're reading this, please give this story its last reviews.
I appreciated all the reviews! I will list all my reviewers at the end of this poem. As you can see, this poem stars Poppyfrost. As a typical curious middle schooler, I read spoilers. (x3 SORRY, CANT HELP IT) Well, I read spoilers about The Fourth Apprentice yesterday! And I read about something that didn't exactly please me... POPPYFROST WAS EXPECTING BERRYNOSE'S KITS! I MEAN, WHAT THE CRAP?
Okay, I'm really trailing off! Anyways! Poppyfrost was worried about Berrynose not loving her (the spoiler said that Honeyfern said he did love Poppyfrost and that she was proud of both of them. blech.). And so that will be my topic.
Love Me, Love Me Not
We were both so shocked
Over Honeyfern's death.
Berrynose loved her
And Honeyfern was practically crazy about him.
I couldn't see why she
Could like such a
Self-centered tom
In the first place,
But now I understand.
And now I fear.
Berrynose told me he loved me,
We'd press pelts together,
Watch the stars,
And he'd press
His muzzle against my cheek,
But what if
My sister was still in his heart?
I knew he'd never stop loving Honeyfern.
But I loved him,
And he told me he loved me,
Although he could never forget my sister
I thought he loved me.
Berrynose
Forced me to stay in the nursery
When I was heavy with his kits.
I was worried,
I truly did
That he no longer loved me
Worse,
That he never loved me.
I slipped away,
Out of the nursery
And slowly,
I wandered away, heading toward the Moonpool
When I reached there,
Jayfeather approached me.
He tried comforting me,
But was interrupted by a
WindClan tom.
They were fighting.
However, I could not pay attention
I was staring at
A small, fragile flower
Yellow and cream-colored
Its petals were falling,
And I whispered to myself,
"Love me..."
The first petal,
Cream-colored, drifted downwards
"Love me not..."
A yellow petal landed
"Love me..."
Another yellow petal.
"Love me not..."
Cream petal fell,
And rested its body on the soft grass
"Love me..."
A yellow-and-cream petal,
A special petal,
Floated lightly.
Love me... I thought.
Love me.
Did Berrynose love me?
I snapped back to reality.
Jayfeather had fought away the tom.
Then he crouched down,
And murmured to me,
So gentle, unlike the usual Jayfeather
"Honeyfern saved me,
Poppyfrost."
My eyes widened,
Honeyfern!
Honeyfern was safe in StarClan's paws.
Jayfeather continued,
In that soft, soothing voice,
"She is proud of you and Berrynose
and she says that Berrynose
Does truly love you.
He was just terrified
Terrified of losing you."
My eyes gleamed in surprise
And I felt ecstasy split open my heart
Love me...
Berrynose loves me!
He was only terrified of losing me
Like he had lost Honeyfern...
My heart swelled
I glanced at the flower,
Now without a petal
Love me
Love me not
Love me
Love me not
It didn't matter what the flower decided
Because truly,
I loved Berrynose,
I realized
And that's just enough.
I love him
He doesn't have to love me...
He could love me not,
And I might've been sad if he loved me not
But he loved me.
And that was all that, truly,
Mattered to me.
The words echoed.
Love me...
Love me not...
I firmly thought,
Almost speaking so out loud
Love me...!
Aww! That wasn't my best poem, but I liked it. :) And, mind you, it's my last poem.
