A/N: Yay! I finally managed to write a fic without the main main focus being Axel! (though, New Girl isn't about Axel... and of course, non-KH stuff isn't about him either...)
I was not quite so pleased with the other poetic works that I wrote (I liked them okay, but they didn't turn out as good as I'd hoped). But I REALLY like this one.
Review (please).
The past, outlined in smoke and dust
And future, cold with moss and rust
Consuming darkness, burning fear
To each, agony far too near
...
A broken heart, ripped clean in two
Pitch darkness swallowing the blue
And last, a body, hollow, cold
All torn apart in days of old
...
Balanced between both life and death
Shifting shadows; ragged breath
Sleeping alone within the void
All because one with darkness toyed
...
Then others follow day by day
A shattered doll driven away
He who would flee and walk on by
And last, one caught in flaming sky
...
Stories mingle, strain and break
All wiped out by one cruel mistake
Memories fading, crystal snow
Inferno bears the final blow
...
In silence, darkness, sleep they wait
One through ten and three-five-eight
Damaged, battered, lost in time
Names scratched out of tale and rhyme
...
So many hearts who bear the brunt
Of the worlds' monster's great affront
To each his own is not the way
Not all can fight another day
...
Those taken down in another's fight
While straining to find cleansing light
Release from the hell where they live
Surrendering all they have to give
...
Be there just one to set them free?
No, not just one, not two, but three!
The tunnel's end is now in sight
If they reach out, they'll find the light
...
It's not the end, you are not done
There is a battle to be won
A fight to bring you all back home
So you will never be alone
