But no

What if I shined like the light?

No matter how dark the road is,

I could brighten it for you.

But no.

Then I'd be the only one to stand out

And you'd become a shadow.

What if I became silent like darkness?

I won't be able to come out to the surface normally,

But I can support you from where I can't be seen.

But no.

Then you might forget about me.

What if I became intense like lightning?

I could protect you from anything that attacks you.

But no.

Then even you'd be afraid

and I wouldn't be able to be by your side.

What if I became passionate like fire?

I could snuggle you anytime you're cold.

But no.

Then I wouldn't be able to protect you

Because I have no moves.

What if I became transparent like water?

You could see all of me.

But no.

Then I'd slip through your fingers.

And you wouldn't be able to be hugged.

What if I became brave like ice?

We could occasionally fight with all our might

and both become stronger.

But no.

I'd melt when you buried me in your warm chest

when it was time to make up.

What if I became calm like nature?

I could kindly hold you when you were feeling down.

But no.

Then I couldn't be spoiled anymore.

I thought and thought 

and then received these words from you

"Even if you don't try that hard, 

you're the one I love most."

I was so, so happy. 

I love you the most too.

So each stanza is another Pokemon picture I got off facebook. ^_^ Each one is another form of Eeve

This is a beautiful poem. One of your best in my opinion. You are brave for wanting to help others despite being through similar tough times yourself. I especially love the ending it was really sweet. And the use of the pokemon pictures was amazing :)

[BlackRose]

I really liked it. Loved how you used the but no. And great that not everything has to end in a negative way. Funny what you said at the botton about the pokemon, even though I don't know much about them, just of it, lol.

[Silent Wolf]

Thank you.

Haha(: Your note at the end made me laugh(: Pokemon can be inspiring! But overall I really loved the poem; it was very sweet. I also appreciate the review you gave me! I keep trying to put more on there, but with college classes and everything it makes it difficult to keep up. But, yeah, I love the poem. Keep looking to Pokemon for inspiration!(:

[Silent Wolf]

Lol thanks. And you're very welcome. :3 and I think I might do that. :3

[DogDrawler]

Interesting... I think you've inspired me. (like always) :)

[Silent Wolf]

Awww thanks! :3

Hmm.. It was very interesting. I like the idea of him trying to be everything for him, but then maybe being yourself is good enough. How can someone love you, if you're always trying to be someone or something else? Really, they can't, because then they're in love with the fake you, not you, yourself.
This poem conveys this idea very nicely. I love the repeated "but no..." because it makes it seem like were in his mind, hearing him think, "I should be like this, or like that, but no... that won't work."
Very nicely written. :)

[Sami Khalil]

I like questions in a poem and this one is a good example...:)

[Darkening Shadow]

That's really creative. It shows how some people just try to hard when they really don't have too. Again Great Poem!
