A/N: This is the first Death Note related poem I've ever written. I would really appreciate knowing your thoughts, but please don't feel like you have to review – I just want whoever reads this to hopefully enjoy it :D
Underneath the mask.
I am not a person,
I am a title,
I am here to pursue justice,
I am the cop's prop.
My face is hidden,
Just like my life,
My name is an alias,
Can't let Kira find me now, can I?
I don't know what I'd call myself,
But whatever it is, it's far from human,
I can't let my feelings interrupt,
I must keep the world safe.
I can't reveal the true me,
Even my face isn't real,
The only person who knows me is Watari,
Even he can't see my loneliness.
I long for a friend,
Maybe a family,
Or even a wife,
I could start a family of my own.
It's too late now though,
I've revealed my face,
Something knows my name,
Danger is moments away.
I vowed not to let Kira get to me,
I vowed to pursue Kira,
I know that you are Kira,
Light Yagami, I know your secret.
From the start of this investigation,
I sensed that my life was in danger,
Who would have thought; that a simple note book,
Would bring me to my death.
I died in your arms,
Your grin was unmistakable,
Light Yagami, you may want to know,
I may have lost the battle, but I have not lost the war.
L is not a person,
L is a title,
L will live on,
You've only killed the first of many.
