Heartless: A poem

By Le Fantome De Opera

Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom hearts, only this poem.

Ages ago, further back than any knew.

A creature was born, from the darkness it grew.

Its yellow eyes glowed with an eerie light.

Its skin darker than the blackest midnight.

Its claws were sharp and its foot swift.

It hid in the shadow, like a wraith it did drift.

What the thing was, all knew naught.

But they soon found out what it was it sought.

For in the dead of night, when all were asleep.

It crawled in a window, in the house it did creep.

It's antennae did twitch as it searched and foraged.

When it stopped and saw a light flickering ora'ge.

"Who goes there?" Came a voice, "Who dares my home invade!"

"Answer quickly, stranger, or into your neck I will sink my blade!"

But to the creature, the threats went unheard, and before the man knew what had elapsed.

The creature had struck, his heart it now grasped.

Into the darkness, the man did fade,

No more thoughts in his head to contemplate.

And as the creature gazed into the hearts glowing pink hue,

It cared not that where one once existed there was now two.

The heart it did vanish, disappeared into its claw,

Into the night the two did crawl.

From house to house they went, their number increasing.

They hunted without rest, no sign of ceasing.

And soon they found as dawn slowly drew,

That one had transformed into a multitude!

And so I now warn you, before your journey starts.

Beware of the Heartless, of thos without Hearts!
