A/N: Written as a gift for my own dearest Hikari! Angst, confusion, denial and then fluffyness! A poem which looks into Bakura's inner turmoil and conflict concerning his feelings for Ryou.
DISCLAIMER~ I dont own YuGiOh, but i do own this poem! Oh and i dont own the song "Coma Heart" by the Mariana Hollow, which helped to inspire this poem, and is quoted below.
Enjoy! Snowy xx
"Was I digging up A part of you, that wasn't meant to hide? Did it represent another person, with another life?..."
My Comatose Heart.
"I Love You"
What did you say?
It seems such a trivial thing.
I heard, but have no answer.
What exactly is love anyway?
Simply a mixture of hormones,
that's what science says.
All facts and figures,
I was never one for science.
Merely a swell of emotions.
A growing feeling,
deep within the heart.
But what heart have I?
Is there anything in this chest,
beneath the ribs encasing?
I ponder it a little more.
Love, how would I define it?
The closest thing I have
is you, my light.
Laughter, it rings through me now.
A hollow sound, void of life,
But full of bitterness.
Confused, conflicted.
Do I 'love' you?
It's been a long time old friend,
so old, the feeling is new.
Bound by denial and regret.
Why am I doing this?
Don't look at me like that,
So softly, understanding.
It kills me inside,
breaks down the walls.
So I fall a little more.
Why you of all people?
I needed you.
Maybe this is why…
Am I as helpless as that?
That's not what this is about,
who is better than whom?
It shouldn't be so hard.
Admitting the truth,
I've lied for too long.
A frown, deep and sinister.
Why do you do this to me?
Bring out all the feeling,
I wanted to forget.
Maybe. Just maybe,
I love you too.
Yes. I said it.
Happy now?
You and only you.
Bring out the best in me,
as I bring out the worst in you.
Two halves of one whole.
They don't know it,
behind closed doors.
It's funny how
you seem the Yami,
and I the Hikari.
The roles are reversed.
You save me from myself
and I tear you down.
Love's funny like that, isn't it?
