-Sniffles- I'm very sad right now, and I thought I should write this, cause I love Kingdom Hearts and I haven't posted a story for it yet. This is gonna be sad, cause I'm sad. -Cries-

Pain

I open my eyes,

Where...am I?

I try to see but I'm blinded by the white lights,

Is this...heaven?

I can't remember how,

The man, Ansem, he told me...what?

I don't remember why,

Why...my best friends...betrayal...I'm a traitor...

I'm lying here tonight...

I'm not dead. Ansem, he tricked me, took my heart...

And I can't stand the pain...

Does losing everything hurt? So much...

And I can't make it go away...

Kairi...I let you down...I couldn't save you...but Sora...

No, I can't stand the pain...

Sora...I'm sorry...

How could this happen to me?

I thought I was so strong, I thought my heart was strong...

I made my mistakes,

Why would I do it? How could I betray them...

Got nowhere to run,

I wish I could find them...tell them...

The night goes on,

They probably hate me...

As I'm fading away,

Can someone fade away in someone's heart? I don't want to be forgotten...

Everybody's screaming,

But maybe being forgotten is better...

I try to make a sound but no one hears me,

I feel numb...Kairi...Sora...My voice...

I'm slipping off the edge,

I can't die...or am I dead...tired...

I'm hanging by a thread,

I have to stay strong...I can't close my eyes...

I wanna start this over again,

I have to make up for what I did...have to say I'm sorry...have to get back to Kairi and Sora...

So I try to hold onto a time when nothing mattered,

When you're alone, memories come back,

When you're dying, they say you see your life,

Me, Kairi, Sora on the Island...the water...the secret place...darkness...

I succumbed, I surrendered to the dark...the door...darkness...or light...

And I can't explain what happened,

How could I...the darkness...no...I did it...but...did I beat it also? The darkness? Did I defeat it?

And I can't erase the things that I've done,

Maybe..forgiveness is real...maybe I can still be forgiven...

No, I can't,

Maybe our bonds are stronger than darkness...

How could this happen to me?

Maybe light does prevail...

I've made my mistakes,

Maybe they've already forgiven me...

Got nowhere to run,

I can already see them, waiting for me...

The night goes on,

Or...forgetting me...

As I'm fading away,

People can fade...from memories...and hearts...

I'm sick of this life,

But...friends...can friends fade?

I just wanna scream...

Maybe...but I won't...best friends can't fade...

How could this happen to me?

I will stay strong...for my friends...and maybe I won';t fade...maybe I'll remain in their hearts...as they'll remain in mine...

I've made my mistakes,

I struggled to stand...I was weak...

Got nowhere to run,

But even if I could stand, where would I go?

The night goes on,

The Islands?

As I'm fading away,

But where were the islands...this land was barren...where was I?

I'm sick of this life,

"Hello?" I call.

I just wanna scream,

"Riku..."

How could this happen to me?

"Who..."

"I'm a friend."

And for once in a long time, I had hope.
