A Sinking Feeling: Rukawa's POV

By Mizuku Saeko

Hello! I'm back! This poem is a reader's request (thank you, flutter!). We now focus on Rukawa's thoughts when they lost the game against Kainan.

Disclaimer: Guess what? I'd say the name was a typo, but that's too damn obvious. So I spelled his name wrong. What do I care about wrong spelling?

I actually care… make sure Lega-chan never finds out about this, so shush.

Dedicated to the cute guy with light brown highlights in SD the movie. I don't know his name eh…



So…



This is all that would happen.



All that would be,



After all I did…



My heart and soul I poured in this,



And I get nothing.



I feel my world crumbling at my feet,



People looking down on me with disdain,



And my love…



My love looking at me with disappointment.



I don't think I can take that.



Not in any day can I take that much pain.



I failed…



I failed to please you…



And you were always there for me…



Cheering me every step of the way…



Helping me with my homework so I can practice for this game…



And yet…



I lost.



Tears of frustration run to my eyes, daring to come out,



I wipe them off furiously, afraid that you might see me.



And I never knew,



I never knew…



How much I meant to you.



How strong was your care for me,



That you'd be willing to endure hell,



Just for me.



I never knew…



How much your spirit was there,



With me,



And guiding me.

Like it? Hope you did. R&R please…
