Okay, I just don't give enough of a damn anymore. I can't find it, the link a most wonderful reviewer sent didn't work 'cause I don't have a user on nicovideo, and, frankly, I just don't have that oh-so-virtuous thing called patience, so I'm just gonna make my own ending and incorporate my own ideas inspired by the original Synchronicity trilogy. That means it's off hiatus and you'll get chapters again
And, as for this poem, I wrote it totally at random today in English—considering that we're currently in the poetry unit—and it just so happened to fit the story, so… I'm integrating it! I claim it my property!
Now, on to the story…
Looking for You in the Sky
Vocaloids gone missing…
Seventh Absence: Where It Dawns
Notes rising and falling; a series of crescendo and pianissimo fading and drifting…
Thump-thump
To rise. To fall. To push through it all.
Thump-thump
A melody which taints the soul—
Thump-thump
—in its mournful gale—
Thump-thump
—as the music rolls to a stop—
Thump—
—and the heart fails—
…
—to continue its song…
…
Met with silence, will one face—
…
—the truth of it all, in this empty space—
…
—that no longer does the heart beat—
…
—for it has perished beneath your feet…
…
Dripping. A slimy red liquid plipping and plopping in a continuous beat. Invading. Pervading. Never did it stop, slow, or quicken. Steady and rhythmic it remained. Its warm touch upon contact with cool flesh, only to wither into the frosty bitterness of liquid ice. Cold like death…
The beat of a once ravenous heart slowing to a halt, its strength began to cease.
An excruciating pain which pervaded all barriers.
Death was beginning to close…
Silent tears intermixed in her blood, for she knew her time was drawing to a close... She was darkness without light, and was steadily succumbing to her inner demon…
Suddenly, it all stopped, and everything was no more—
…
Golden hair swaying with the sudden movement, Len jerked upright—breath heavy, eyes wide, pupils dilated. Fear permeated his every pore, causing him to shake and shiver even though it wasn't the cold which gripped his body, nor his soul.
His mind reeled over the dream. Her time was drawing to a close… Len's eyes widened further as realization dawned on conscious mind point blank:
Rin was dying…
Kagamine Rin, his sister, his twin was slowly dying, the darkness of death consuming her once vibrant soul, and plunging it into the eternal depths at the bottom of the red swamp…
His fingers gripped the fabric at his chest, twisting it into knots as his heart gradually slowed its erratic beat. His strong heart which beat with ease… versus her dying, twisted thing where every thump was procured through a laborious agony in the battle against death. Slowly—ever so slowly—she was losing her life, and succumbing to the darkness… falling into the depths of death… He could feel it. Oh, how he could feel it. Her every twinge, although dimmed with distance, resonated through his restless body, reminding him again and again that she didn't have long left.
Len turned his gaze to his tight fingers, twisted in the fabric of his tunic. They were clean—not a speck of blood, yet he still so clearly felt its icy ghost upon his skin. The tremors continued, a failing heart's rhythmic beat echoing in the empty air…
A/N
Ah, the end of the new chapter… Aren't you happy I posted at all? Well, I made my sister watch the video for "Paradise of Light and Shadow", and was suddenly struck with inspiration. Maybe I should listen to "Time of Dying"…
Thoughts? Comments? Confusion? Just review anything and I'll be overjoyed to read and possibly reply ^^
