A poem I wrote during the time Fanlib was closing. Some may think it is a little silly to care about a website that much, but think about if it was here. Or the place you go to every day if that isn't here.

You Never Know How Hard

You never know how hard something is,
until you have to do it.
I feel a little silly for crying right now.
It's something I hate to admit.
-
It was a place I liked to go
when I was feeling blue.
My friends always knew what to say.
They always knew what to do.
-
It was a home to all of us.
We never wanted to leave.
Then the news hit us suddenly.
We didn't want to believe.
-
Our home was to be destroyed.
We only had a few days,
to pack up and say goodbye.
We all wanted to stay.
-
It was a time when the truth came out
the good news and the bad.
Some friends tried to take advantage.
It just made all of us mad.
-
You never know how hard,
it is to say goodbye
to a friend you had always trusted.
I can only ask why.
-
As the time grows closer
for Fanlib to shut it's door.
I make a hard decision.
I close the account I adore.
-
I never imagined how hard it would be,
I still hate to think about it now.
The tears fell down my cheeks.
It's something I don't like to allow.
-
It seemed so small,
when I first logged onto the site.
It just grew with the friends I made.
And I always loved to write.
-
We all had to move,
and find a new place to stay.
Our friends will not be forgotten.
We'll stay together to play.
-
You never know how hard,
it will be when you see your home close.
It's something we never imagined.
It's not a fate we would have chose.
-
I hate to think of tomorrow,
when I awake in the dawn.
I know when I get online,
Fanlib will be gone.
