Author's Note:

I've never written a Kingdom Hearts story. There I said it!! It hurts but yes this is my first time.

:::BLUSHES profusely:::

Played all three though and am an addict for more. Especially after that teaser at the end. For those who know, YOU know that it teased you as well; for those who haven't yet, keep playing and you'll see!!

So this here is a Riku POV.

Enjoy!!

Disclaimer: Do not own Kingdom Hearts!


Darkness

collective2220

It's always dark.

No matter how I twist and turn, it's still dark.

Not the type of darkness that follows when turning off lights in the hallway.

No that would be too easy . . . .

It's the type of darkness that only follows when you give up.

Give up on friends, hope, and life but mostly love.

It's not something that can be easily reclaimed.

Trust me, I've tried.

It's bleak and cold.

It chills you from the inside so that nothing outside could ever hurt.

Nothing outside could ever get the core.

Nothing ever will.

I wish I could say that there was some pain,

But there isn't the numbness takes care of that.

But there is that nagging sensation of

"What if I had chosen the other one?"

That doubt is what keeps me twisting and turning.

Twisting to the right leads me no where,

Turning left from zero just takes me further out,

So I take it and run.

Run until my lungs burn.

Burning from exhaustion and the darkness trying to stop me.

It's still ink black.

I'd say pitch black, but it's darker here.

Don't ask me how I know I just do.

So running isn't doing me any good.

I already tried the minny, miney mo approach.

If I had someone else with me I might've tried paper, rock, scissors.

That makes me laugh.

Like I want to share this with anyone.

It might've made it a bit easier but there's no way that any one should be here.

Unless they wanted to . . .

Like I did.
