So... the other day, I literally couldn't stop thinking about Riku... I was living in a dream at school. Riku... was everywhere... It was like my brain was trying to brainwash itself, and succeeding... Anyways, in some desperate attempt to get him off my mind (that didn't work...) I wrote this... Yeah. It's poetry that doesn't rhyme at all... like, there's no rhyming whatsoever. So, yeah... Just a little poem dedicated to Riku.

Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts.


Riku… I can't get you off my mind…

So I ask, why?

Now, let's stop for a second.

This isn't a poem—

I'm not a poet, no matter how much

I may want to be.

But then again…

It might be a poem.

We'll see.

Now, let's get back to my question.

Why?

Why won't you leave my thoughts,

at least temporarily?

At least till after school?

I can't focus on anything…

Not math, or language arts,

nor science or social studies.

The same has happened

in band and chorus.

The words on the pages…

The notes on the sheet…

The numbers in the book…

All of these blur and twist,

shift and distort,

swirl and dilapidate

before my eyes.

And it's all because

I can't keep my mind off of you.

No, my mind insists on staying with you…

You, with your pale skin.

Your silver hair.

Your toned arms.

Your bright blue eyes.

You, in all your glory,

all your perfection.

And to tell the truth,

it doesn't bother me

as much as you may think it does.

It doesn't bother me

as much as I make it seem it does.

It only bothers me slightly,

because I could rarely

pay attention anyways,

in math and language arts,

and science and social studies,

in band and in chorus.

So I guess…

actually having something to think about

isn't so bad.

Because you know,

Riku,

I can't get you out of my head,

but I don't think

that I truly want to.


Ne... So that's it. A small poem-thing about Riku not leaving my thoughts... Review, I guess...
