POV: Starrk
Pairing
: None
Author's Note
: Starrk's aspect of death is Loneliness, if I'm not much mistaken. Pay attention when you read the last line. Also, as ever, I would appreciate feedback, in the form of reviews.
Disclaimer
: I don't own Bleach.


What No One Remembers

"Power is everything",
So the old phrase goes
The more, the better
And damn the cost paid

But what no one remembers
Is that it's lonely at the top
Power brings no happiness
Carries no joy
That must be achieved independent
Of your desperate grasping
For more, more, more

The other half of my soul
A child
Is obnoxious and loud
She hides all my tea
And doesn't let me sleep
And I would be utterly
Lost without her

A division born
Out of desperation
Unbearable loneliness
Suddenly relieved
Everything's made better
But the shadow
Still casts a sickly pall

So keep your power
Take your ambition and rot
Power is something I have
And neither need nor want
Because what no on remembers
Is that it's lonely at the top
And that loneliness is a sort of death
