My Darkness, My Light
By Pocochichi
My world is pitch black
Yuki too should be pitch black...
Make no mistake
You see, this world is pitch black
There are no possibilities and there is no hope
Your life will be a path of darkness
So don't kid yourself
Thinking that someday you'll be saved
In a dark room in my darkest hour,
Accompanied by words of thorns;
Which stab my tender heart;
And spread pain through my weak body.
Darkness was my world,
Absent of light,
No one to save me,
No one to run to...
I am completely alone...
There was no chance that anyone would come for me
My cries couldn't be heard;
Because they were absorbed by darkness;
I felt useless...
I felt helpless...
What was my purpose in this world?
Why was I born?
To accompany darkness?
I wanted it...
That warm place...
I never understood what love meant,
Or what its like...
Or even what it is...
Until light shone one day...
She shone that one day...
Even if my memories were erased,
Please be my friend again...
Those words I took to the heart;
And start a journey anew...
To find myself...
Only to discover my own selfishness and weaknesses...
In the path of light,
Created by her unconditional love and guidance;
I slowly replaced my weaknesses with my hidden strength...
I too
Have to realise that I have lots of faults and weak points
That I need to fix.
Otherwise...
I'll always be a fool
I too want to be a light in someone's darkest hour;
Just as she has done for me...
Now as I continue on my journey of light...
Please let me find my way...
This world is
Not a world wrapped in light
But
That's not all
It's not only darkness
That's not all it is
That's not all it is...
AN: Yes! Another one done on the same day. Just to let you all know, the words in italics are various lines from the manga. Again, thank you Shadow-san for making those words so beautiful! Unlike my last one, this one don't rhyme, but it's a description of the metamorphosis of Yuki's heart, mind and soul. It's a tad short, but I hope it's just as good! Alright, Kyo-kunnn is next! Yay! Me love Kyo! Next time, I might eliminate the manga verses because I want all of this to be my work. I put in the lines in this one and the last one for effect. Enough rambling! Please read and review!
