I noticed I'm always forgetting to put disclaimers so here goes:
I absolutely DON'T own Gundam Wing/AC. I've never even watched/read the thing. I know what you're wondering "If you've never watched/read it the WHY ARE YOU WRITING FANFICTION?!?
I don't know either but as always, I have no idea what I'm doing and I'm probably going to mutilate Duo's character so much it's not even funny but please have mercy and don't flame me too much.
HERE'STHEFIC-HERE'STHEFIC-HERE'STHEFIC-HERE'STHEFIC-HERE'STHEFIC
Duo looked at the mirror, noting his tear-stained cheeks and smiled ruefully.
I've been lying to myself all along haven't I, he muttered to himself.
Duo Maxwell, always the joker, never sad, but that's not who I am Heero. That's not who I am and I can't be that person anymore for you. I just can't, he whispered hoarsely, his voice cracking and tears streaming down his face anew.
I'm sick of lying to myself Heero.
He chuckled. All this time, I've been saying that I never lie and yet… everything about me is a lie. Is there anything real?
Duo suddenly felt consumed by a wave of… something. Without really noticing what he was doing, he crossed the room and sat at his desk before pulling a piece of paper and a red pen to him.
He put the pen to the paper and let his consciousness float away, leaving only the raw feelings behind as he wrote.
Forgive me love for I have sinned.
I fly upon these deadly wings
Sorrow haunts my soul in pain
Tears of blood glide, fall in vain.
Dove's feathers stained, soiled with death.
Roses wilted, crushed by lead.
In a battlefield of misery I lie,
By blankets of eternal darkness bound
To the lies I had left once behind,
Trapping me, I cannot fly.
Legs cut, I cannot run.
In Plains of White I cannot hide.
All that's left is the truth to find.
Forgive me love for I have sinned.
As I crossed these mortal realms,
Untruths spilling from my eyes,
Hiding my soul deep, deep inside.
Duo smiled mockingly at the sheet. I've always hidden haven't I. Now… I'm trapped behind my mask of lies.
END!
I would appreciate some feedback. What do you think of my poem? I call it Mask of Lies. If you don't understand the plot don't worry. It's normal. Go read Sub Rosa by Kayura Sanada and you'll get it.
