Shattered Soul

A/N: Hi people! This is a Yuugi chapter, full of angsty goodness... I'll try to update again really soon, really. (I have to pick up the pace anyway, because I want to finish this before finals week in June...)

Anyway, I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh. I'm trying, I'm trying!


Tears

they are crystals, they are pearls

and so innocent. I'm

so innocent, too innocent that I didn't see it,

couldn't see the lie that love was.

Those pearls

fall down my face, splashing on my pillow and shattering

just like my life.

My Pharaoh couldn't love me.

He could never love me, he

thinks of me as a symbol of purity, of chastity and I can't be.

I don't want to be! To sit here on our bed

to wait for him to return, walking in with kisses or roses or his loving words...

Is torture. It is torture and I know there's something more, something

beyond this little fortress of our love.

It shields me from the world,

and I'm curious. I'm so curious.

I'm a willing prisoner, willing enough to give up my mind,

give up my thoughts to my smarter, better lover

but I still yearn for that one glimpse, that one look that will assure me

that a world exists outside.

I want to see and feel it, break some chains,

but I'm scared. This loving imprisonment is all I know...

Yami returns and I forget everything, every thought of exploration.

I am oblivious, not thinking of that world outside,

but safe and loved. In my Pharaoh's arms,

passion is more useful than intelligence. So I oblige,

kissing and petting him back,

still crying, still curious, but I've forgotten why.


Hope that was good... Poor Yuugi's too love-stricken to even think about the consequences if he makes Yami his whole world... Future plot device? I don't know! Um.. Does anyone know if Peacemaker Kurogane is out in the U.S. as a manga or an anime? I really want to see or read it; it looks so similar to Rurouni Kenshin.
