a/n: These were a few poems, a bit of Kyouya and Haruhi introspection, that I wrote for fun. Before I knew it, they had morphed into something that told a little story of their own.

Note the difference between the last line of the first poem and the very last line. It's supposed to suggest something, although exactly what I'll leave to your imagination.

I love reviews. :3 (This is a not-so-subtle hint to review if you enjoyed it!)


There is no rhyme or reason

to his love for her

There's no sense

to root this feeling

There's no logic

to calculate his actions with

There's no reason to what he is doing -

there is not even a rhyme -

so he tries to deny that

He loves her


He has no idea what he's doing, really

Or why he's doing it

Maybe it's because he likes to play

The villian

The shadow king

The snake

Maybe it's because he wants

To help his freind

To make a point

To keep her safe

Maybe it's because he wants to

Feel her pale skin

Hold her thin wrist

Just once

He dismisses this

Because he doesn't feel that way about her

And he would know

Certainly


Her eyes don't betray a hint of fear

Her voice doesn't quiver

She meets his eyes

And smiles


It was for profit

He never wanted to be a hero

Never wanted to be a knight in shining armor

She was blind

He himself was blind

All he knew was that he was setting himself up

To be something he wasn't

Did he want to be something he wasn't?

For her?


He didn't do things for people

And they didn't do things for him

He didn't care what they thought

Until they managed to worm their way into his life


She had finally unlocked the door
Maybe he was actually

What she wanted all along

x

Without having to pretend

Maybe he was already the kind person

She thought he was


She was his oxygen

In his stifling, numbingly cold ocean

Where he could not breathe

Until she smiled


Was it so selfish that he'd hoped

She would be his someday?


There was no denying it:

He had loved her
