"yami"

oh dark, a shadow under the egyptian sun,
unexpected, but completely welcome.
unaware as you slipped through my mental barriers,
but I knew someone was with me.

oh shadow, how you bleed so black,
and swim beneath my sight.
the wicked words you throw at me,
try as you might, hurt me not.

though when you raise your hand to strike,
I flinch and close my eyes,
knowing if you realized the scars were not from you,
someone would surely die.

and though you try to hide it so,
I know you really care.
and yami, please don't worry,
my heart is saved only for you.
