What is this nonsense? Is this…a Lunarshade fanfic? *gasp* THE WORLD IS ENDING!

Not really…it's just been over a year since I've posted on here. I'm more likely to post on livejournal. I read stories on here though. This came to me after reading a Danny Phantom fic (yes, yes, totally different I know). It may be a little overdone, but hey that's life.

Roxas is pretty angst-y in this, but I think anyone would be in this situation. It's just a drabble though so…yeah…

Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts, disclaimers, or any word in the English language. Or the name Sora which is Japanese (I have no idea what Roxas is. His Japanese name is Roku I think). I do own the little poem thinger in here though.

What am I?

That overused question taunts my every waking moment. It looms over me every time I look in the mirror. It floats at my side in the daylight but no one can see it except for me. It haunts my dreams at night, twisting them into nightmares. I can't escape it, especially since I'm not the one actually doing all these things. I can't look in the mirror. I can't be in the daylight. I can't dream. I can't by myself. It's all someone else's doing.

It's all the real person's doing. The "somebody" I suppose. I'm just a nobody…literally and figuratively. I can't do all these things myself, I just experience them. How does that make sense? Well that's my question too.

How can I be no one and yet still know what it's like to be someone? How can anything be nothing? How can something live without a heart anyway? Is it actually alive or is it all an allusion?

Then again one can ask the cryptic question of "what is here? Are any of us truly alive?" and throw the whole Nobody/Somebody relationship out of whack. Many would also say that I couldn't be breathing and functioning if I didn't have a heart.

That's just it; I don't breath and function anymore. I thought I did. I thought I was someone. But I found out the truth; I shouldn't have even been alive the way I was. I shouldn't have had a brain or lungs. Because none of those things worked without a heart.

Scientifically speaking, I may have had a heart. A beating one that gave me the ability to live—or maybe half-live I'm not sure; am I a ghost?—and that's why I thought I was someone. But I'm only part of someone, the leftovers. I came from a Heartless and therefore I am.

But how can I be without a heart if I can feel? If I can be happy or furious then shouldn't I have a heart in that sense too? I guess that would be where the whole illusion thing comes in then. I was made to believe I could feel just so I'd be blissfully unaware of the truth.

But what is the truth anyway?
Maybe there is no truth to be sure;
Was I even separated from him?
Maybe it's…
No, there's no reason to implore for there to be more.
I was here but was not.
I still am here somewhere.

If I have no heart, then am I technically a Heartless? Is a Nobody just a new form or something? Or maybe we're the offspring. Can Heartless and Nobodies reproduce? Maybe I'm just a ghost ripped apart from my body. But my Somebody isn't just a body; he has a heart.

What am I? I am Roxas and I am Sora's Nobody.

I know as much truth as I ever will know. I am alive as myself even though I'm really just part of someone else.

Will we ever separate again?
