Hello everyone, Lullaby here! This is my first story and I am trying to decide if I should continue or not, any and all suggestions will be helpful!
I do not own Yu Gi Oh! Or the song in this by A Perfect Circle called Gravity.
Please enjoy, feel free to review, I would love to hear suggestions!
Yugi walked onto the stage with feline grace, unmatched by any normal human. No, he was much more than that. Driven almost to insanity by someone who captured his heart, his darkness, the very half of his soul in which he could never escape no matter what people thought of their relationship. Yugi had been to hell and back in the last year and when he heard his other half had died, he gave up hope. Never again would he feel the shadows in the night caress his skin, for now remained only light. Light can't exist without darkness. To get his guilt and anguish out, Yugi took to singing at a café downtown. The only thing that was more painful than hearing of Yami's death was the fact that he did not feel it when it happened. They were supposed to be of one mind, why could the little light not feel his darkness slowly slipping away?
The guitar began the song, with Malik behind the pick. Soon after the intro, the drums chimed in, Ryou behind the sticks. After they were released from Mineral Regional Mental Hospital for suicide attempts, this became their weekly outlet. The Tipsy Teapot was always glad to have them here; they played each and every note to near perfection and were so nice to everyone.
Yugi gripped the microphone and began his hypnotic rhythm of poetry, this song always reminded the lights of their lost loves-
Lost again, broken and weary
Unable to find my way
Tail in hand, dizzy and clearly
Unable to just let this go
Tears welled up in their eyes by this time and Yugi swayed across the stage, looking desperately for some kind of release to his misery.
I am surrendering to gravity and the unknown
Catch me, heal me,
Lift me back up to the sun
I choose to live...
I fell again, like a baby
Unable to stand on my own
Tail in hand, dizzy and clearly
Unable to just let this go
I am surrendering to gravity and the unknown
Catch me, heal me
Lift me back up to the sun
I choose to live...
I choose to live...
I choose to live...
Catch me, heal me
Lift me back up to the sun
Help me survive the bottom
Ryou and Malik had their eyes closed as they played flawlessly. They all always put their heart and soul into this wishing they could reach their other halves somehow, hoping one day they would hear their song reach up to the heavens and drag them back onto the earth.
Calm these hands before they
Snare another pill and
Drive another nail down
Another needy hole
Please release me...
I am surrendering to gravity and the unknown
Catch me heal me
Lift me back up to the sun
I choose to live...
Before he uttered the last line to his song, his eyes went wide as they locked onto a pair of deep, blood red orbs in the crowd. Could it be…?
I choose to live...
