So I'm trying poetry. I'm not that good at rhymes, but I figured it was worth a go. Yuugi's POV, and I hope it's not too hard to understand what's going on. (Narrative poetry is not my strong point either.) Basically, I figured Yami can't stay around forever, but he can't really die, right? So what might happen? And Yu-Gi-Oh will belong to me once Esper Roba gets all the Sennen items. Never.
Note: This is non-yaoi. I understand that all Yamis and Hikaris have bonds, but they are way too blended to be able to go past friendship in my opinion. (This goes for Yume Wo Unison too, as with all my other fics, but I forgot to say it then.)
The Presence of Absence
"Aibou,
take the puzzle from its chain,
let no two shards together remain.
Seal the pieces all away,
for slumber will keep the eons at bay.
No more is left for me to right,
so hide away the pharaoh's might
until some evil wakes again,
and some pure soul shall find me then.
Once ages go and ages come,
with another I'll be two and one.
For a little while I'll breathe and talk,
then once more into night I'll walk.
Please understand and let me sleep
with farewells in our hearts to keep,"
he said to me, a plea of soul.
So with breaking spirit I let him go.
I watched the box as it fell to the sea
and splashed like the tears inside of me.
I did not weep as the wind blew soft
and gulls cried out as they soared aloft.
But deep within I think I died
rather than as a lonely half abide
and share no longer the joys and strife
(that come to everyone in life)
with another lonely, missing heart.
For now we are too far apart
as my friend in darkness awaits the day
when he will find another to aid.
Light needs dark for balance in me
but that was something he could not see
away he left 'til another time.
I know how it goes, but, Yami, I'm
empty without you for comfort and calm
while all around, the world moves on.
