I'm no angel

Never was

Probably never will be

oh but I hope

'He's strong and beautiful and willful. He works hard, is caring in his own way, rich and handsome. Chestnut hair and ice blue eyes like the antarctic tundra.'

do you read poetry?

My mind is in turmoil

this wishing and praying

it's tearing me apart

'He's in my every thought, even in my dreams. We snap and fight, but on the inside, I think I.. I think I...'

You probably wouldn't care

you're above all that

aren't you?

Are you not?

'Yugi, I'm sorry,' Yami thought dully. Yugi's spirit appeared next to him.

'What for?' he asked innocently. Yami sighed.

'Never mind.'

Love is a hideous word to speak to you

it's one I fear above all

Shouldn't I love the one I'm closest to?

Not the one that despises me

"Yugi!" Kaiba shouted, stepping out from the roof doorway. "What are you doing up here?"

"Thinking. What's it to you?" Yami snapped. Kaiba gave him a stern look.

"Duel me," he said. A statement, not a question.

do you want something?

my mind is in turmoil

this wishing and praying

is tearing me apart

"Duel?" Another one? Yami shook his head.

"What's wrong Yugi, afraid?" Kaiba taunted. Yami snarled.

"Of course not."

wings torn

tattered and broken

eyes clawed out

I'm bloody and blind

"Are we going to duel or not?" Kaiba snapped. Yami gave him a hard look.

"Kaiba, what of our rivalry, huh? It's pointless. Even if you beat me, even if you're the very best in the whole world, then what? Huh? What do you think of that?" Yami droned. Kaiba rolled his eyes.

do you love me?

my mind is in turmoil

this wishing and praying

is tearing me apart

"Idiot," Kaiba growled and stalked away. Yami groaned and put away his deck. Another wasted day of wishing and praying.
