Final Goodbye
By The Silver Phoenix
Summary: After losing Starfire in a battle, Robin thinks again about their relationship and regrets not telling Starfire earlier that he loves her. (Hopefully, that will NEVER happen – I mean her dying – and they will live happily ever after.) My first (terrible) attempt at poetry. Told from Robin's perspective.
Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans (like, do you?)
They say you can never truly appreciate something
Until it's gone
I never realised until too late
She slipped away without saying
A final goodbye
Leaving me behind, drowning in my misery
And the bitterness that will destroy me
The tears stream down my face
The pain rips at my heart
My soul is torn in two, engulfed in guilt and regret
The hurt doesn't fade
And it never will
Her scarlet hair, never to blow in the wind again
Those emerald eyes, closed forever
Those tender, rose-red lips, never to kiss me
That pure, innocent soul…
Gone
What is the price that I must pay?
How many more lives must be sacrificed
Before I can understand,
Before I learn, before I accept,
That I am not the Boy Wonder, but a helpless bird?
A little robin, his wings clipped
Unable to save his loved ones
They're gone
She was an angel
The only one who made me feel this way
I should've told her while I still had the chance
All the things I never did
All the things I never said
And what could have been
But never will be
She's gone
Thank you, Starfire
For brightening my life
Though our time together
Was brief, too short
It was unforgettable
Is it ever too late to tell someone
That you love them?
Three little words that would change everything
All the times I could have said them…
All the chances I had
All the opportunities I missed
It's too late now
You were the only one, Starfire
The only one who ever held my heart
From our first meeting
I've loved you ever since
That first kiss we shared, that magical moment
It was only a moment… but lasted forever
And now you're gone
And with you, my heart
Now I am nothing but an empty shell
Twisted and broken
Crying tears of sorrow
Tears of pain
Tears of loss
I was too late to say
A final goodbye
And "I love you"
Starfire
My Starfire
Gone
That was so sad... hopefully, Starfire will NEVER die (even though that's not possible) and she and Robin will live happily ever after. Isn't that what we all want? Unfortunately, as you might have heard from titansgo-dot-net or some other source, Teen Titans is getting cancelled, so send in those letters to Cartoon Network, if that still helps.

Sniff sniff. I don't know how I managed to write that poem without getting the keyboard wet... well, I think I'll go cry now, while you guys go and review (hint hint).
