Kira's Defeat

Heaven

He runs and runs

Arm hanging limply at his side

Sunset shining on his bloody form

At his side I slowly glide

-o-

His eyes filled with desperation

Rusty orbs fearing death

He stumbles, wincing painfully

Drawing in a ragged breath

-o-

For once I see not

The self assured pride in his eyes

I see a desperate, hurting man

Not any of the twisted lies

-o-

He lies down on the cold stone steps

Warm sun like golden rain

And he lies there broken

Chest barely moving from the pain

-o-

I sit down next to him

Gazing at his frantic eyes

He refuses to realize

That this is the day that he dies

-o-

My hand cups his blood stained face

As he fights to stay alive

His dream is finally dying

The dream that could never survive

-o-

I know he cannot feel my touch

For I am just a ghost

Watching, just watching

The death of the one I love most

-o-

We were always enemies

One would win, the other die

Fate is cruel mistress

Because in the end here we both lie

-o-

Dying on the ground

Life slipping away

Knowing in those last few moments

Our goals left in disarray

-o-

His eyes go wide

Heart suddenly ceases to beat

And I know this is the end

Kira's defeat

-o-

Where he is bound I know not

Neither heaven nor hell will he be

Instead a painful and empty limbo

Nothingness for eternity

-o-

And as I glance one more

Upon his beautiful face

For even in death

It holds such perfect grace

-o-

Floating upward to the heavens

Head pointed towards the sky

I wish I could see him just once more

Just one goodbye

-o-

I approach the golden gates

Heaven or so they say

But to me it will never be

Heaven while Light's away

-o-
