A short poem about Zero and Yuuki, this is meant to be their thoughts in Chapter 46 when Zero kisses her. Hope it conveys what I thought they felt and hope you like it :P. THE FORMATTING OF THIS KILLED ME! It is nothing how the original looks like! If you want to see what it's kind of supposed to look like head over to my DA account (kind of because DA wouldn't let me format it correctly either grrrr...). It's meant to be read as two separate poems. Zero's point of view and Yuuki's. They are SUPPOSED to be side by side, both starting with the first line and both ending with "Goodbye" and they are supposed to match up with each other perfectly as well, as in they have the same amount of lines and the 1st line of both are at the same place and the last line of both are at the same place, but nooooo, it just wouldn't let me do that now would it? Apparently this thing doesn't like more than 1 space between letters(which is reasonable, but just not suitable for the purposes of this poem). So I had to do it like this. Zero's part of the poem is at the left side of the page and Yuuki's is in the middle. They are both bolded and underlined respectively. But you know what? I kind of like this layout too. I just hope you guys aren't confused, though if you want to read it as one big poem, go ahead, be my guest. I think it's pretty cool that way too, because funnily enough it makes sense that way too. Anyway rant over. Time to read! I hope you enjoy it! :D p.s. should the end of Zero's be Lonely or Alone. It was originally alone, but I changed it to lonely and I'm not really sure about that.

Zero

Yuuki

Your clear eyes stare at me

they waver from within

bottomless depths

My heart lying asleep

I can hear the dull throb

throbs slowly

echoing emptily

each beat in time to your ragged breath

Each step backward

My hands burn

frays the thread

as your warmth fades away

Your fingers, still warm in mine

The light in my heart flickers

turn ice-cold

going out,

slipping from my grasp,

A weak candle in the wind

Falling away

It plunges me into an ice-cold darkness

the cold surrounds me

I can only feel with my hands

No! I scream and shout

and weep for what I have lost.

I'm not leaving, I don't want to

Alone,

No! Can't you hear me?

Your lips leave mine

No! Don't you understand?

Alone,

No! I don't want to...no...please

Eyes burning with unshed tears

I want to stay...here...with you.

Alone,

The darkness swallows

The hands in mine are gone

until the only thing left

Alone,

is the memory of your eyes,

The last promise meaningless,

-sharp, clear, beloved-

Alone,

and the feel of your warm lips on mine

Oh so Alone, as you whisper your last

saying Goodbye.

Goodbye.
