A/N: This is a tribute to Matt and Mello, two of my favorite Death Note characters.
All in Vain
Two friends fighting for justice;
One Death Note they seek.
Kira's destruction is all
That they are asking.
They think that they will win.
They think they'll meet again.
But it is all in vain,
Their effort is all in vain.
The friends capture their target
And take care to get away.
Every precaution they take,
They even split ways.
They think that they will win.
They think they'll meet again.
But it is all in vain,
Their effort is all in vain.
One takes the guards,
Who follow his trail.
One takes the target,
Hidden in tow.
They think that they will win.
They think they'll meet again.
But it is all in vain,
Their effort is all in vain.
With a gun, for one it is over.
Not one blast, but many.
He hits the road,
And the light goes out.
They think that they will win.
They think they'll meet again.
But it is all in vain,
Their effort is all in vain.
A name on paper, a face;
For the other is all that it takes.
Next, a blazing fire
Covers every last trace.
They thought that they would win.
They thought they'd meet again.
But it was all in vain,
Their effort was all in vain.
A/N: This was written the Monday after Mello's (Mihael Keehl) and Matt's (Mail Jeeves) deaths were aired on English television in America, literally minutes after having their deaths described to me. I apologize for any mistakes I may have made, but I used all that I had read via Absolute Anime and Wikipedia, along with my cousin's descriptions. Please review!
