My first stab at an angst fict. I apologize in advance for it. I tried. Oh yah, it's written in Bakura's point of view. Aw well! ^-^ Please Read and Review!!!

Discalaimer: I don't own YuGiOh... Whatever I may say... ^0^;;; ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~

To be near you destroys my mind, body, and soul. To not be near you fractures my heart and my soul. My Yami. The demon that torments me, yet you are my tenshi and saviour. How can you crush me so? I cherish you, yet you hurt me and cast me aside. You will never know how much it pains me to not be able to tell you. My love, my soul, that I love you...

How many times must I think these words. Not being able to say them.

To pass you everyday, and not to be able to take you in my arms and hold you and kiss you.

To wish to tell you what is in my heart and for you to love me too. To hold me when I'm happy, when I'm lonely, when I'm sad.

You tear me apart, wether you are near, or far.

Please, can't you show me mercy? Let me know how you feel? Or just tear out my heart now.

I can't live without you. I can't bear life with you. My only escape is in death.

As I take this knife and press it to my arm, I think of you, and of the pain I am leaving.

I hear a noise downstairs. You have come home.

I must do it now, or forever loose my nerve.

You are coming up the stairs. I press the knife harder against my skin.

It breaks. Blood begins to trickle out.

Tears begin to stream down my face. I love you! I hate you!

In blind rage I slash. The blood pours from my wound and stains the floor beneath me red.

You are in the doorway, beautiful eyes wide in horror.

You run to me and take me in your arms. You hold me close.

What I have wanted for so long, yet it is too late.

My vision blurs and the world darkens. I know this is the end. I clutch at your shirt and breath out my last words, "I love you..."

With my last escaping breath kiss you. In answer to my words you say, "I love you too."

But it is too late. The words I longed to hear will never be mine. You have held me, but I will never know. It is too late, my love, for I am gone.
