Illusions of Love
I see no vitals on your EKG
Dead on the dance floor.
And really, that's all I needed to know. It's funny how when someone needs you most, you can never be there for them. Some call it fate, others call it luck. As for me, the only thing that matters is that it happened.
Not that it's a good thing.
"why...?"
I didn't realize I was talking until the simple words turned into babbling, and the gun in my hand was suddenly pointed at my head. I can't help but wonder if this was how you felt, with the weapon pressing into the soft flesh at your head. I shudder at just the thought of it.
I pull the trigger, testing the reaction. Silly me, I forgot to take the safety. If you were here, you would probably remind me. Or stop me. Or something. The safety comes off with a small, resounding click.
One shot turns to three, and you're there now, just within my reach. Writhing on the floor, I take in a final breath, not expecting it to hurt so badly. But somehow, I know you're here with me, pulling me through to your side, and it's okay.
Except that nothing is okay, and even in my last minutes, I can still feel the warmth that left your body just hours ago. I can still see the pale shadow of a person that I once knew so well. You promised that you'd be careful, and look what happened? The person I knew would never break a promise, so it definitely wasn't you.
But it was, so now I'm only left with bitter feelings and an illusion of love. Apparently, our illusions didn't match, so you went and got yourself killed, was that it? Was I everything you wanted and no one special at the same time? I suppose I already know the answer, but I don't think I know anything anymore.
It's only fitting that my final resting place be beside you. I haven't belonged anywhere else, so as I feel my soul turning black - black for death, black for misery - at least I know you're right beside me. And that makes me feel okay. It's always okay if you're there...

"We have just received new that two dead bodies have been found near a street court, their identities are still undetermined. Surprisingly, the cause of death seems to be different for each person. One was shot three times, once at each vital area. Their head, their neck, and their heart. The other person seemed to lack blood, so authorities believe that all the blood was unnaturally forced out of their body. Suspects are being lined up as we speak. We will keep you informed as new information becomes available to the public"

SZ13: Oh my gosh, I'm SO~ SORRY for not updating or anything for a long time. I'm just recovering from my depressed stage though, so all my Death Note stories will be on HIATUS. I'll definitely try to update them ASAP though.
