Heartless
I was once a plain human, age sixteen
My life was great- or so it seemed
I began to feel an emptiness inside
It wouldn't go away, no matter what I tried
Suddenly one night, a creature appeared
It was like a black shadow- worse than I feared
I tried to escape but it leaped in attack
It clawed at my chest but I fought back
It evaded my moves- it was strong, I could tell
It swiped again, pain seared, and I fell
There was no use fighting against this beast
It pulled out my heart and there it did feast
But then he came along and saved the day
By swinging the blade, the creature went away
I was slowly dying- my minutes were few
But he said that my life still wasn't through
He patched up my wounds and helped me to heal
I still hardly believed that this was real
He said that I was lucky to survive the fight
But in my mind I knew that he wasn't right
The emptiness inside now felt complete
Once I realized it, I got to my feet
I said he couldn't help me anymore
Because it was my heart he couldn't restore
Though alive in flesh, my heart was dead
Different thoughts ran through my head
Thoughts of death, thoughts to kill
Hearts of men, I'd have my fill
A silent roaming with one goal
To ease the pain down in my soul
I'd consume the darkness inside of all
I'd rise higher as men would fall
My lust for the deep could not subside
Nor from the growing evil could I hide
It covered my body, like blankets of cold
And the darkness inside began to unfold
I wasn't a human, I was a Heartless, you see
That was why no one would be able to help me
But there was only one thing that he could do
Kill me to end the suffering I was going through
Kill me, I said to him, a spiky-haired kid
He got out his Keyblade and with tears in his eyes…he did.
