Millennium: A little poem from Ryou to Bakura right before he returns. Just something until I get a review on When Barriers Fall.

So you're gone

Should I care?

I feel alone, truly alone now.

Not like they give a damn

You didn't either

Why does it bother me so?

I don't know

Not like you would ever return the feeling

The blackouts, the fear in others' eyes

Glad I don't have to worry about that now

You were the cause of it all

And yet, I miss you

I miss your crazy laugh

In the back of my mind

Not understanding what

Was so bloody funny

Me? Yugi? All of us?

The rest are pathetic

Stupid and blind to the truth

They will never understand

They can't

Since they never

Had another half

Like Yugi and I

And Malik, in a way

But unlike us, Malik had no way

To talk to his darker side

Whatever

Alone is what I know

Who I am

No one left to care

I worry Yugi feels the same though

He is a bit too fragile anymore

Since you guys left, anyway

He's acting strong

But he's falling apart

I loved you, Bakura

I don't know why

Maybe it was that *little* twinge

Twinge of guilt at leaving me

Over everything you'd done

The realization that you

Weren't quite as bad

As I had first thought

How much was you?

And how much was Zorc?

I guess I'll never know

Unless you come back

That might be nice

I'll see you soon

One way or another

I don't think

I'll stay here much longer

Not like anyone will miss me

Will they?
