It's no easy feat to survive the end of Death Note. I was quite disappointed when I discovered that Misa took her own life soon afterwards.
As always, thank you for reading.
Grim Gorgeous
A dress of black and white.
Hair and makeup done just right.
Cute like a doll, one may say.
I wish to be pretty for my last day.
The crowds, the ordinary people pass me by.
Hustle and bustle, they go about their lives.
I walk among them, walk the streets of the city.
Some people turn to glance at me.
Maybe I stand out in these clothes.
Maybe they're puzzled by the sight of a girlish ghost.
Well they don't matter; I don't care.
The ghost drifts among them unaware.
Out of my way, out of my way.
I'm blind to all but my own finale today.
In the last moments that I breathe,
This is who I want to be.
Tall black shoes, eyes shadowed in blue.
Black and blue like the permanent bruise.
It infects my soul in its entirety.
From bone to blood, I feel it in every part of me.
Loneliness.
A chill that persists.
Alone before, and now I'm alone once again.
Two times my loved ones met their end.
I glance at the sky and remember the first time.
Mother and father died in a coldblooded crime.
More terror to me than I ever admitted.
And then the killer was almost acquitted.
I thought I'd live the rest of my life in nightmare.
Then – the execution came out of thin air.
Kira brought justice where I thought all was done.
And then Light brought love when I thought I'd have none.
He dragged me out of that dark misery.
I'm grateful forever, always, eternally.
But then, second time, he was the next to die.
And this time I know I cannot survive.
Oh Light, I'm still your girl through and through.
I'd kill for you, I'd die for you!
But there's no more you for whom to serve.
I just can't take it, can't take the hurt.
Another step, I say, and another and another.
Keep going down the street and don't ever falter.
I pass too many happy couples along the way.
They're out to celebrate St. Valentine's Day.
Seeing them reminds me of what I've lost with you.
They confirm for me what I already knew.
Enough.
I'd rather die than live without love.
Gentle, sweet music plays inside my mind.
It's been singing to me since I stepped outside.
Soft but strong, the loveliest sound ever made.
Beckons to me, calls me, it seems like death's serenade.
I know what it means though it is no voice.
The sound's telling me that I've made the right choice.
Heart beats fast as I reach the tower.
The last move that's within my power.
Emotions run high, though my face looks aloof.
Enter the door, ascend the steps toward the roof.
As I climb, I see his face in my mind.
He's fading, in shadows, and I'm terrified.
Already time is dulling my memory.
I can no longer picture him with perfect clarity.
Better go now before I'm forgetful and old.
Before my head loses him and our love runs cold.
Top of the tower and to the edge I go.
Look down and see the ground so far below.
After the jump, I'll plunge through the sky.
I guess I'll know how it feels to fly.
I have no regrets; this fate is not grim.
Not if I can be with him.
