Summery: This is a poem that I wrote from my Creative Writing class during the school year. I know it sucks, but that’s just me. It's from Ianto's POV of his death....yeah..... so.... it's a really bad Free-Verse poem, but just go with it.
Three years isn’t long enough;
We’ve only just begun.
Now it’s over and you’ll move because you have to.
I’ll rot forever while you live.
“It’s all my fault,” you said.
I wouldn’t let you put that burden on yourself.
You’ve lost so many already;
I’m just a blip in time, but you’re not for me…never.
I hate the desperation in your eyes as you try to keep me alive.
You feel it too. Our time was too short.
Desperately, you call my name and ask me to stay, but I’m slipping.
I don’t want this to end, don’t let me go!
I knew you weren’t ever going to say those words
But it was my last chance to, to say “I love you.”
Your “Don’t” broke my heart, but I understand.
Saying those words makes it all real, but I can see it in your eyes you feel the same.
“Don’t forget me,” I chocked as my lungs begin to fail.
Your weak smile and “Never could” made my dying heart soar!
“A thousand years time...you won’t remember me,” I try to say, knowing it’s true.
As you promise to remember I’m taken from your grasp and you kiss my cold lips.
Plunged into the darkness, I see your face and you hold me.
“We don’t have much time,” you say in haste. “But I love you.”
You held me till you were gone, your touch a faint whisper of what was.
All alone in the darkness, I understand why Suzie and Owen feared it.
But I’m not alone; not really.
In my dead heart I know you’ll always be with me.
I know I captured the heart of the illustrious Captain Jack Harkness like few have before.
Captain Jack Harkness fell in love with me, the Tea Boy of Torchwood Three.
Now go, Jack, and keep on fighting the aliens.
Banish the 456, who hide in their poisonous gas.
Defeat them in my memory to save them;
To save the Children of Earth.
