Hi everyone! Here is the next chapter, and I hope you all like it, it took my half an hour to think up! Please review after this. I think my poems are getting more angsty, don't you? It's probably because I read The Exorcist on Thursday. Eh, that book corrupts people, so I blame it! Oh, read on!

Disclaimer: I do not own YuGiOh, but soon I shall own a copy of The Exorcist, mentioned above. I love that book, it's cool, but I do not recommend anyone reading it, it is so disturbing!

It's electrifying, isn't it, the taste of steel and iron bars,

That press against your wrists to give you permanent and lethal scars?

I am not the lock that frees you, so around my cell you must peruse,

If you are to escape the Shadow Realm, and figure out why I abuse.

I was tormented and tortured, two things so similar I cannot,

Even tell the difference, my indifference you cannot spot.

Why leave me here, when you can find my link inside the dark?

Why do I even bother with these called friends by my precious lark?

For they don't understand me, and I am screaming in my heart,

Of better days and stolen goods, but those days have fallen apart.

Now I am a mere spirit, and I see inside your soul, your mind.

Emanation, resonation, I cannot see their likes defined,

As more than just imaginary, light and dark, I fear are so,

Similar, and yet so different, me and Ryou, the brat and the Pharaoh.

Entwined by fates cruel hand that cuts the lifelines, weaves our lives.

These Gods aren't mine, and neither is the blood upon my knives.

I scream and beg, I beg and scream, they hear, oh Ra, they hear me here!

But no one lifts a hand to help; they all want me to disappear.

Even you, my precious light, you wanted me to go away,

But I would never leave you, I'm sad to say: I'm here to stay.

Envelope your worries in that blood stained envelope,

And give it up, your crimson and pain, cannot, will not, ever elope!

I sang you once, my haunting song, the chapter in the linking truth,

But you were deaf, you could not hear, you're such a naïve, pure-hearted youth.

So as you file that envelope, away inside the draw just here,

Please be aware, that it stays there, and does not go to sister dear.

I summon up a cursed and ancient stunning form of an exorcist,

To pull me far away from you, and make it so I don't exist.

Oh Ryou, please keep me safe from all that tattered pain and hollow harm.

Away from sirens and hells hounds, away from that ringing alarm,

That tells me my time is nearly over; I am bound to leave this Earth.

But please keep hold of me; I never got to prove my worth!

Aghast, I see you cringe in fear, and walk away, step upon floor,

And throw open your worn and bloody, painful, hallowed, wooden door.

You run away, I cry out: STOP! But still you run, and I can see,

That no one knows where you have gone, oh no, my light, not even me,

Please fly away, and return here so safe and humble, warm and sound.

I know you'll have a better life when my chaos and I are not around.

But please remember, I care for you, and need you more than you may think.

I could not keep you held in here, for I noticed you were about to sink.

Now you are gone, I pine for you, and wish you were right here beside,

While I hang silently above your brightly lit, unused bedside.

Oh please come get me, as I fade away from loss and bitter mourning.

I told you I had need of you, but you would never heed my warning.

So now I rot and wait in hell, because of you, I'm doomed to die.

Not physically, for I'm immortal, but mentally, my death is nigh.

And I want you there, when I do fade, to hold my hand and stroke my face.

And when I pass, my precious light, you will be doomed to take my place.

Well, there you have it, a long poem with mainly angst. Hope you all enjoyed! Please review; flamers shall be sent to my demons.

Thanks:

ttSerenity –I'm so happy you loved it! I rather liked that line too, however I preferred: But break my body, bit by bit, waiting for the apocalypse, when we will; standing hand in hand, fall into the deep abyss. I thought it was the best line. What is the American Idol twist, the one they keep advertising? They say it's like no other Idol we've seen before; do you know what it is? Any singers you want me to look out for? I'd imagine you are good, people like you and I normally are, but I'll have to actually hear you sing, because I'm a really good judge of singer; I've predicted the last two Australian Idols. Oh wait, there have only been two…oh, have you seen the movie Hide and Seek? Random question… Yeah, I'm feeling a lot better, but I still have a bad cough. Thanks for the review!

Flidar –I'm sure whatever you write can be good; even I make mistakes, so it's not an unnatural thing! I hope your mail can reach me eventually; try sending me another one, a test one, to see if I receive it. You can have confidence if you just believe in yourself, and getting reviews really helps, so try out a one-shot or something before you go into a multi-chapter, and see what response reviewers have for you. Hey, this was my second fic, and look how far it's come! Twenty one chapters and sixty three reviews! Is your sister really that horrible? If so, I pity you. She's older than you, right? I'm the oldest person under eighteen in my family, and I'm not even an official teenager yet. Oh sorry, I'm ranting, aren't I? Anyway, thanks for the review, and take it from me: You're better than you think!

Stormrose Dewleaf –Hey Stormrose! I reckon the lines you liked were cool, out of those I liked the second one you put, but if you really want to know what my fave was, check ttSerenity's response. It was ten at night when you reviewed? Cool! Anyway, thanks Stormrose, and thanks Aurora, for reviewing my story! I'll try to keep writing Bakura poems as long as I can, and I WILL, until my mind runs our of ideas, which hopefully will not happen; I'm aiming for forty of fifty chapters…Thanks!

Esther'nEra-guardians-ofChaos –Darkly sweet…I love that comment! I'm glad you loved it! Thanks so much for reviewing!

You guys have been great reviewers, and to anyone who has ever reviewed this, you people are awesome and have supported me a lot more than you know! Thank you all so much! (Hands out YuGiOh posters)

Love Sami, Ryou's Hikari.
