Mew: My first attempt at dark poetry. I thought of the idea during school, while I was walking alone outside during lunch. Anyway, enjoy.
Just leave me be
I sit alone, all alone
With this knife as my only friend
Bakura stood in the middle of his floor, staring at the crimson knife he was holding in his hand. He looked to his wrist. It was covered in old scars. In fact, his entire body was covered in scars.
All I need is myself and this knife
I don't need anyone else
He sighed softly, carefully taking off his shirt and throwing it to the side carelessly. He put the knife to his abdomen and made a deep cut, but not deep enough to kill him.
Anyone else wants things in return
This knife only wants my blood
He watched the red trail taint his near-white skin, making him look even more sinister than ever. His eyes drooped close and he made another cut, this time a little deeper.
I don't need friends
I don't need family
He continued cutting and tearing at his own flesh until someone burst into the room. It was Ryou.
And I especially do not need you
Ryou hurried to Bakura's side, tears developing in his eyes. Bakura showed no emotion as his caring hikari attacked him with questions.
Why do I do this? you ask aloud
Why do you care? I reply silently
Ryou took Bakura's hand in his own, trying to get him to come to the bathroom so he could clean and bandage his cuts. Bakura pulled away his hand and stared at the blood-stained floor dully.
I don't need you because
I'm afraid
Ryou walked to Bakura again and touched his face gently, staring at him worriedly. Bakura still showed no emotion.
Afraid that when you touch me
I'll return that touch
Ryou wrapped his arms around Bakura and gently held him. Still, Bakura's face remained the same.
Afraid that when you hold me
I'll begin to hold you
Ryou was about to speak, but Bakura pulled away and stopped him. Ryou stared at him with wide eyes, tears falling from those chocolate-brown orbs.
Afraid that when you tell me you love me…
I'll say that I love you as well
The hikari made his way towards Bakura once more. Bakura shoved him away roughly, so he fell to the floor. Ryou let out a small cry as his back came in contact with the wood. Bakura stared at him dully. He walked past Ryou and to the bathroom to bandage his wounds himself.
I don't need your help
I don't need your pity
Ryou followed Bakura to the bathroom, begging to help him. Bakura shoved him away once more and shut and locked the bathroom door. He put the lid over the toilet and sat on it, holding his head in his hands.
Get out of here
Just leave me be.
