I made a poem about Steven and Pearl called...Understand?
Why did you leave?
Why didn't you stay?
Why did you throw your life away?
What made you choose this path?
How long did you plan this?
What convinced you?
I'd never understand.
Why did you let go?
I've had some horrid thoughts that I'm not proud of
He'll let us down
He'll fail
He's not a gem
I'll never feel your soft hand again.
Greg_ says he's just fine... "He's just a baby, Pearl."
How were you so sure?
I miss you so much...please come back...
I'd +never* understand
His face
So innocent
So enlightening
So brightening
So perfect
At first I...hated him
I feel so ashamed
I have to let go
Be there for him
I'm starting to understand
His talent
His bravery
He's just like you
He'd make you proud
He tries everyday
He can now wield his shield
He is now my world
Even though I love him I miss you deeply
Sometimes I cry steeply
Sometimes I creepily walk up his creaky stairs and watch his sleepily image in the room dimly lit by the moon, while I peacefully listen to the ocean waves and crickets chirping
"What is he dreaming?"
When he succeeds he smiles beamingly
I wish you could see him
Listen to his laugh
Enjoy his stories
See his smile
His hopes so high
He gets better everyday
He has so much love
His beautiful soul dragged my heart into a heaven of love and compassion that I never thought I'd feel again
He's...Steven
My little Steven
I will protect him
I will encourage him
I will strengthen him
I will make him in your image
I will make him a Crystal Gem
When his hopes are dim
I will make him the brightest star
When the struggles are high
I will make him fly
He will shoot for the moon
But he will always be part of my heart, like you
I have learned how to love like you
My little Steven
Isn't little anymore
But I will still protect him
I will still encourage him
I will still strengthen him
So innocent
So enlightening
So brightening
His talent
His bravery
So perfect
So accomplished
He's in you're image
He's a a Crystal Gem
I now understand
