Once upon a time, we were both alone.

Then, I found you.

And my world was perfect, if only for a little

But all things come to an end.

You were gone, dissolved, my friend.

And my world stopped.

I stood still, with my light in hand.

What next?

A gift appeared before me, purely by chance.

One that also curses

To be alone.

I took it, my light in one hand, my gift in the other

And plowed on.

Then I met you again, my friend

And you have become a sword, a weapon.

Then my light was wrenched from me

And my world turns upside down

But you were by my side again, my friend, my sword

And you shot.

I fell into the darkness,

Forever falling.

But still, I smiled.

Once upon a time, we were both alone

We were lonely together,

And not alone anymore.

~End~


Mandy: Hey, all! I wasn't going to write/continue my stories, but a plot bunny came up when I couldn't sleep last night. Sadly, I won't be continuing both of my Naruto fics for a while, since I've grown to be quite obsessed with Code Geass. Also, I didn't want to put the disclaimer at the beginning of the story, I'll say it now: I don't own Code Geass!! And as for any mistakes regarding the plot that I might have had, it's because I'm only on episode 16 of season one. (I cheated and got a lot of spoilers; also, I happen to read a lot of Code Geass fanfiction, so I know a bit of what goes on.)

So what did you all think about the poem?
