I do not own Angel Beats or any existing parties

A Single Violin

White wings, stoic eyes, smiling lips, all living lies.

Slender hands to play a song. A song from an angel for whom I long.

Long days, dark nights, through our eyes, we've seen all the sights.

She'll play a piano, or a violin. And through her playing, the strings wear thin.

Guns did shoot. Blades did clash. The first, burning desires, reduced to ash.

A violin string can only wear so thin. It will break; I know when.

Beating hearts. An empty chest. Someone remembering is not depressed.

And so I replaced your violin strings. Its music potential, is fit for kings.

A hug in sorrow. A crying face. I know I'll meet you, in some better place.

So this violin's name that could be known, will be left in our memories, to live alone.

I guess this would be something written by Otonashi to Kanade right after she disappeared or something, but the last line doubles as a goodbye to the afterlife school.

So thank you for reading my first poem. I'm thinking about making this a poem anthology with every chapter being a separate poem all relating to Angel Beats, but we'll see. If I do that, I will change the title of the anthology!

I'd love some compliments as the narcissistic guy I am, but I also love poetry, so if you want to talk about the meaning, some helpful points, or maybe even if you want advice for yourself, feel free to PM me. I won't respond to (most) reviews though xD

And finally, thank You Mystia Katsuragi for inspiring me to upload poetry onto fanfic!
