Disclaimer: I don't own Death Notte.

Author's Note: II wrote this story and published this story on 8 years and wow. My writing style has definitely evolved over the years. A part of me is actually embarrassed by this story because honestly? It's badly written when compared to my new writing standards. Another part of me is proud because this where I started. This is my first story and while it isn't some great and beautiful novel, I love it.

So after much contemplation, I decided to keep this story up and just give it a quick facelift. I tried not to change it too much, because I want to remember my roots. But God did this need an update. I hope you guys find this update better than the last. Thanks for reading! :)

My heart beats, while yours stands still,

I breathe air, while you breathe death.

We once loved, but now you're gone.

How am I supposed to live on,

With this empty heart?

I sit and stare at your picture. The part of me that Kira inhabits wants to celebrate. He wants to get up and prance around Japan while shouting from the rooftops that L is dead and Kira has won. But the other side of me, the part that holds Light, wants to curl up and die.

I feel alone, in the big empty world

When you were here, I felt whole.

But now you're gone,

And my heart's a black hole.

I stare the knife in my hand. I tilt it to the side. It glints in the pale moonlight. I know that if I run it over my wrists, I'll soon be with him. My one true love. The only one I've ever loved. And one I murdered.

L Lawliet.

My heart beats, only for you

I was born, only to be with you.

Now that you're gone, what should I do?

Should I end this pain and misery,

And be with you?

I slowly lift the knife, and I ran it over my left wrist. I don't feel it. I watch as the blood quickly gushes. I switch the knife to my other hand and bring it down on my right wrist. I watch as the blood flows just as quickly as the other. I'm not nervous. There's no reason to be.

Why not just use the Death Note for a quick heart attack? Simple, I deserve to suffer. To suffer for the cruel pain I caused to my lover.

I pick up your picture and lay upon our bed. I look at your picture one more time before my mind slowly empties. My head hurts and the room is spinning. I know what's coming, and I can't wait. I know I'll soon be with you. I smile as I leave this cruel world behind.

I smile as death comes before my eyes.

I'm not afraid, I will be with you.

Death is peaceful as it comes to me.

I know that soon, I'll be in your embrace.

As the Japanese task force comes in the next morning, they see Light Yagami lying dead in his bed. His wrists are covered in dried blood and in his hands, he holds his lover's picture. Light looks so peaceful in death. A smile spread across his face. At the bottom of the bed, is the object Kira used to kill. The Death Note. Yagami senior opens it up to the last entry written there:

Light Yagami

November 6th 12:00 a.m.

Commits suicide by slitting his wrists. Died thinking of his lover.

It is written in Light's handwriting.

Death is so peaceful in your arms.

I have the love, I used to long.

But now I'm here,

With my one true love.

Death is peaceful when with your love.
