Madness

A poem from Ryou's perspective prior to when he knows about Yami Bakura.


Madness

He's laughing so loud,

But you can't hear.

You say it's okay,

That there's nothing to fear

But how can it be

With this voice in my head,

I don't hear my thoughts,

I hear his instead.

I woke up today

With blood on my hands

My head starts to spin,

I don't think I can stand.

What other friend

Has disappeared today?

Been thrown into a coma,

Left their body to waste away?

I don't remember

What I've done today.

I just found myself here,

So far away

Where can I go?

With the things that I've done?

Who can I turn to?

Where can I run?

But I must get away,

Leave behind my friends,

Before they too

Do meet their ends.

And in my head,

Ringing, so clear,

Is the laughter that no one

But I can hear.
