Chapter 1:

You Don't Have To Let Go

Yami's POV

My light.

Yugi.

What have I done to you?

I thought I found you and you just…disappeared from me again.

I don't need your strength anymore

'Cause you made me strong

Why were you acting like that? You aren't the Yugi I know. The Yugi I know is cheerful and full of pride. And most of all…

…you give me light to keep me pure.

Without it…I'm becoming evil, wicked, and greedy.

I need you here, by my side.

You may not see the one light in me

That you dreamed of

Holding me in your arms

I feel…empty.

Without a soul to guide me, I feel so hopeless.

I can't fight without you there with me.

All the days that you gave

All the moments that you saved

Praying for my life

Sacrifice just to make me who I am on my own

You don't have to let go

You wanted to duel me.

I felt your hatred for me grow.

I had no choice. I had to accept…for your sake and mine

You don't say it

But it's in your eyes

All the fears of goodbye

"I'm the one who's been locked away forever, Pharaoh! If you're really sorry, then you'll do this!" You say.

I want to refuse.

But…I can't!

But I can promise

You'll always have a place, and a way to my heart

"The darkness in your heart is in mine as well!"

No…could this be true?

"I'm just your reflection of your evil. Don't you get it?"

All the days that you gave

All the moments that you saved

Praying for my life

Sacrifice just to make me who I am on my own

You don't have to let go

"It's time for you to pay for what you've done to me!"

Yugi…

Why couldn't it be me locked away so you wouldn't suffer?

I can live

Cause you lived for me

And I can love

Because you loved me

I may have won, but…you're gone from me once more.

Whycouldn'tit be me? Why can't I suffer?

All the days that you gave

All the moments that you saved

Prayed for my life

Sacrifice just to make me who I am on my own

You don't have to let go

Chapter 2:

Broken

Summary: This is after the duel and after Yugi's soul was taken again, and Yami is very upset about this and blames himself. Spoilers ahead again! Enjoy Chappy 2!

Yami's POV

No…

He's gone…

Yugi…

If it wasn't for me, you'd still be here.

I won't forgive myself for this.

I wanted you to know

I loved the way you laugh

I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away

Tears roll down my face like a river down a mountain.

Remorse and guilt fill my heart and shred it to pieces.

I don't deserve to be a pharaoh or a king.

I am an evil pharaoh who only wants power.

I keep your photograph

And I know it serves me well

I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome

And I don't feel right when you're gone away

You've gone away, you don't feel me, anymore

"I'll get you back! Mark my words! I will not rest until I do!" I cry to the heavens. I pound my fists to the ground with anger as more tears rolled down my face. "It's not fair…I should be the suffered one, not you! I played that card!"

Maybe Raphael was right.

I am evil.

The worst is over now

And we can breathe again

I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away

I want my pain to end.

I can't suffer like this!

What now? What must I do…to end this madness?

There's so much left to learn

And no one left to fight

I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

Please, Ra, end my pain and let me continue this fight!!!

Cause I'm broken when I'm open

And I don't feel like I am strong enough

Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome

And I don't feel right when you're gone away

I promise, Yugi. I'll do everything in my power to get you back.

…I promise…just please…forgive me.

Cause I'm broken when I'm open

And I don't feel like I am strong enough

Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome

And I don't feel right when you're gone away

You're gone away

You don't feel me here anymore
