Hey Summer, how've you been?
Things are a little grim down here
Trying to do Ozpin's job… well
I'm gonna need something stronger than beer
...
Heh. I know what you would say
I keep drinking and you hate it
But it's a necessity at this point
To forget, just for a bit
...
But I came for a reason
I thought you'd want to know
About your girls, so I'm out here
Freezing my ass off in the snow
...
Yeah yeah, no cursing
I'll just get right to the point
Yang is spiraling, but Ruby, of course
She hates to disappoint
...
Ruby's team is scattered
Weiss and Blake; just gone
But despite everything in tatters
Your little girl stays strong
...
As soon as she was able
She set out on a quest
Her three friends in tow
To expose Cinder's crime nest
...
Now you and I know
She's not the top dog
Because of that I decided
That I would tag along
...
You would be panicking by now
I know you too well
Come on, I'm sober enough to think this through
Give me some credit; can't you tell?
...
I want Ruby to grow a bit
Without me being involved
I hate to say it, but we need her
Her powers have to evolve
...
Salem's too powerful
Too dangerous to fight alone
And I know you won't like it
But her defeat has to come from Ruby alone
...
I hate making her do this
I don't want this on her shoulders
But I can't protect her, not from Salem
She's a target; a Silver Eyed Warrior
...
I can block Tyrian's stinger
But I can't keep this up
I promised to protect her, but Summer
It won't be enough
...
I wish I could do more
I want her safe; she's my little girl
But she can't stay safe forever
Not in this time, in this world
...
But I'll do my best
In this, we can't afford to lose
And she won't be a sacrifice
To that, I refuse
...
...

Here's Qrow. I'm going to post my Neo poem in a bit. I'm working on a "To Ruby, From Jauner" poem currently, so that one will probably be next after Neo.
Also, to those who follow "Wilted", I'm working on chapter 19 and I've got a good chunk of it done so far. Just know that I am not jumping immediatly into volume 3. I have a couple chapters planned before V3E1.
Happy writing to all! Lonessa out.
