Yesterday I realized that you have a mark

A crucifix on your neck

Like it was burned by the Sun.

I saw another on your back

Like you had carried a cross for a long time

Or you have been tied on one.

The piece of metal on your chest now is cold, it is shiny

And it's a reminder

Of what you left behind.

The wings still grow in your back

But you take them off

Feather by feather.

And the most ironic thing

Is that you wanted to fly.

They crumbles on the floor and your shoes stains the carpet

You are dirty of all the sins you did

Your cross is not going to save you anymore and you know it

So keep walking

One day the rain will stop and the mud will dry

You will be clean again

And finally you'll learn how to fly


Hey guys ! It's my very first poetry inspired by Death Note, so I'm not really sure if it's good ^^; Mello is one of my favorite characters so I really wanted to do something based on him and the way he changed thought the history. The narrator of the poetry can be whoever you want, Matt, Near or even a OC. REVIEWS PLEASE ! ~
