THE END

By Mizu Hikari

This is Riku's point of view...he reflects on what's happened to him as he falls farther into darkness during Kingdom Hearts.


Falling into Darkness

The light is fading

The doors are closing

Leaving me in the dark

Closing me off from the light

I feel cold, wrapping my arms around myself

But nothing can stop the dark creatures

The dark creatures of the night

Stealing away my heart

Taking me to a battleground

Where I find myself there

I'm the enemy

I kill anything

I hate you

I hate me…

The darkness creeps along my arms

Cutting me with sorrow and pain

Hurting me, like I hurt so many others

I'm like this darkness

This darkness that took everything I loved

The people, the place, the world

Instead I close myself off from society

Like the way those doors closed on me

My heart burn with regret, for what I did

But I can't change the past

Only make the future

Is that why I was created?

Is that why I'm here?

To cause death and destruction to the places I touch

To the people I love

Or is it destiny?

Fate? Doom? End? Finale?

The curtains close on me…

Covering the light,

That tried to forgive me

The black curtains, sealing me off from the light

From the truth

From you

Sora…
