Few are left and I am leaving.
I may have won but I have lost.
Here I am, not believing
That this is what my victory cost.
Who will hear my final words?
Who will mourn me when I'm gone?
I wonder why I was left behind.
I'll wonder still until the dawn.
          
          
Where is my idol?
I want to see
Him once before I go.
They say he was defeated,
But it cannot be so.
I understood his greatness
When I was just a kid.
He died, but won this battle
Long before I did.


And where is my friend?
I want him near.
We fought until the end.
Sacrificed on my behalf,
I wish you could be here.
Alone we could not prevail,
But together we stood.
You saved me from beyond the grave.
I never thought you would.


Where is the friend of my friend?
I want to know
Who you were in life,
And why you had to go.
A victim of this "Perfect world,"
Offered to the false god,
I wish I could've met you
Before you met the firing squad.


And where is my enemy?
The one who took them all,
Destroyed them through others' hands
Till I brought about his fall.
His death won't bring them back.
The loss is just as much my own.
He chose his own demise,
And now I'm all alone.


Where is my mother?
And where is my father?
That's right, they're too long gone.
Far before the others.
No memories to live on.
They've all gone ahead, I see
Beyond the stars and moon.
Beloved, wait a little more for me,
I'll be coming soon.

         
Fan poem for death note. This is probably the best poem I've written. Doesn't say much for my poetry does it? :XD:
I should point out that at the time I wrote this I didn't know Matt was at Wammy house, so he and Near probably had met.


This is not yaoi in any shape or form.
