Silver bites into
my temple,
cold; unfeeling.
My teeth pierce
flesh, grinding
my lower lip
into blood.

My heart
sinks down,
farther,
until I put
the gun on
the coffee
table.

What would
He think?
I sigh
heavily. I
know what
He would
think.

And no, I
don't mean
"He" as in
God, I mean
the man I'm
madly in
love with.

The blond
rogue,
perfect,
lovely,
martyred.

I can picture
the words
forming on
his perfect lips
now.

You can't
cop out like
this, not
like I did.

But I can.
I will,
eventually.

I want
to.

When
Roxas died,
my life

ended.

Yes, I live
and breathe
and walk
about.

An empty
shell of
a new
human.

I want
him.

I need
him.

Silver bites into
my temple,
cold; unfeeling.
My teeth pierce
flesh, grinding
my lower lip
into blood.

My heart
sinks down,
farther,
until I

pull

the

trigger.

Roxas,

look,

I'm here
now.

You shouldn't
have...

I had
to.

I never
told you
this, but...

I love you,
Roxas.

Had you
told me,
we'd both
be alive
right now.

What do
you mean?

The reason
I cut too
deep was
because I
realised I
love you.

I never
thought you
could love
me.

You...

love
me?

Yes, you
big idiot.
Now why
did you have
to go and
shoot
yourself?

Life isn't
life

without

you.
