I'm sorry.

I'm so, so sorry.

Everything that's happening to us right now is because of me, isn't it?

Rishid might be dead soon.

I let my sister down.

And I'm surrounded by darkness, the one thing I fear the most.

I couldn't stop him.

He's going to kill everyone, all because I couldn't stop him.

This is my punishment, isn't it?

For killing father and so many others in a stupid game of revenge?

How long do I have to wait like this?

Why won't he attack me, and end everything?

It's what I deserve, isn't it?

Aren't I a "monster?"

Please.

Yugi.

Attack me one more time.

Are you going to end it all?

Don't hesitate.

I'm… not afraid anymore.

If it will stop all of these horrible things, then go ahead.

Strike me down, just like you did to Rishid.

Please.

All I want…

Is to escape this darkness.

Xxx

Yeah, if you think this is dumb, don't worry, so do I. It took like five minutes. But you know what, I've been wanting to write Malik like this for a while now. I just can't help but tear up a little every time I get to the part in the manga where he's lost all hope, and is prepared to die to make up for what he's done and put an end to his dark side. Which is why I wrote this poem/drabble/thing at 11:00 at night. Right before finals are going to start. Yay.
