"Illusion" by Shadow Bakura

No one knows my name Not that anyone would care The only memory I have Is of pain and despair Of suffering and hatred Loneliness and endless rain (Crying) All I am known of Is an illusion in your brain?

If I am an illusion Then are you one too? If you are then do you feel the same as I do? Of course you don't, how would YOU know?

I'm a murderer, and you're a saint The only thing you're missing is your wings

So why was I destined to be your twin soul? Is this some kind of sick joke? The way things have been going Only God knows

I'm only a pester to you So why do you make me stay? If you hate me so much You could throw that Ring away Of course, I would come back Strong as before But just the same, why don't you try Rather then making the bruises grow sore?

I never meant to hurt you But love is so misleading How can you love someone else? When all you experience is eternal bleeding? Not of the body, but of the soul My heart is wounded my heart is only an empty hole

If someone could fill that gap Maybe my life would be complete I can't trust anyone else When so many made me feel so cheap

I'd love to be able to love To be able to be happy, not sad You only see me as a curse But am I really THAT bad?

The pain is ending now The bleeding almost ceasing What has done has been done Now I will be leaving Darkness fills my sight All visions are lost But suddenly there's a bright light Unlike anything I had seen I thought the cost of my sins Would be still eternal bleeding

So if this is a place of suffering Then why is it to bright? And why is my whole world Surrounded in a brilliant light?

Maybe this is an illusion It's all just a dream If it is, then why do you stand before me?

I'm dead? I asked, curious to know But my Light shook his head, and said "This is you're new home" I realized that my soul room Which had been so dark and dreary Had been transformed into something obviously cheery

"How did this happen? What made you change your mind?"

I ask him just what I felt, and why I wasn't left behind "I realized you only needed to discover the love within" And I realized then, That Ryou had been my light within.



Love it? Hate it? If this comes out non-html format, I'm sorry. I know a lot about computers, but I'm not any super genius. Is this better then Dark Side of The Shadow? Can anyone TELL me what I mean in this poem? Basically I just thru a whole bunch of ideas into one super-poem, and this is what I got. Once again, it's about my favorite pair of twin souls.
