Hey there everyone! This is a little poem I had written for one of my favourite pairngs, ShinraxCelty. The term "La Douleur Exquise" comes from a French term meaning "the heartwrenching pain of wanting someone you can't have". This can be interpreted as when Celty finally finds her head and the feelings Shinra must face once this moment happens.

Disclaimer: Durarara! does not in any way belong to me. I'm just here to appreciate it.


La Douleur Exquise

My heart is a time bomb

ticking away

counting the minutes

to the moment when you'll say

...I love you...

But even then, I know

it can't be true

That my heart alone

can't belong to you

I've given you everything

but that which you hold dear;

The breadth of your journey

and the sum of my fear

I know I can't truly have you

you have matters of your own

But is it truly worth it

to leave me all alone?
