Death of a Friend

It can't be true

It's just a horrible cue

You're my friend

This can't be the end

I don't understand

Why don't you stand!

Show me that confident smile

Then go run for a while

They tell me a lie

They tell it with a sigh

They could say it's legit

But I don't believe it

They couldn't drag me away

I couldn't think what to say

All I could do is gape

Not even a tear could escape

You look like you're asleep

Your dreams must be deep

If you can't wake

Not even a breath you to take

There's a wound on your chest

I can't let that fest

To run you have to be fit

I have to fix it

"Leave him" I hear

"He has lost someone dear"

"He didn't die in vain

A victory we have gain"

I look for a heartbeat

It's not an easy feat

There's too much blood

It looks like a flood

I feel a hand on me

And belongs to you, I see

I start to shiver

You're encased in a shimmer

"It's okay," you say

What is this game you play?

You can't be a ghost

That can't be a shell of a host

You say you're with pride

Just because Eggman has died

"It's a just cause,"

I didn't see you took a pause

This is a dream

We're supposed to be a team

You can't die

I hope this is a lie

You filled me with dread

When you shook your head

"It's hard to part ways

After so many happy days"

Then you gave me a hug

And my heart gave a tug

Then you took your leave

And left me to grieve

Tails! Come back!

Your friendship I will forever lack!

My brother so yellow

How can you be so mellow?

I looked up to the sky

And I gave a cry

There was a new star

Showing that you were never far.

End

So that was my poor attempt at poetry. Now, to clear up some confusion, this was a "final battle" between Eggman and Sonic and friends. (Friends meaning Tails, Knuckles, and Shadow.) When Sonic gets trapped beneath one of the MASSIVE arms of the current robot Eggman built, and since Shadow and Knuckles were busy with their own problems, Tails was the only one left to save Sonic.

Tails quickly finds the center of the robot and heads straight for it. Eggman, seeing what Tails was doing, tries to stop him by hurling a sharp object and letting up on Sonic for a bit. Sonic gets a few feet away and start preparing for a spin attack. He stopped though, when a big explosion happened from the impacts. Eggman couldn't get out on time and he was thrown up into the air. He died when he landed.

Tails got hit by the object in his chest AND was in the middle of the explosion. He died, and that's why I did this little poem.

I don't know why I'm so mean to my favorite characters. If you have any more questions, tell me and I'll clear up any confusion.

BYE!
