Disclaimer: Nope. I only own this poem, and the other ones. This might take a while to update, because I write these down as they come to me.

Thoughts on my Other, Part I

Yami

Half of another; part of my other; that is my destiny—

Imprisoned for millennia, slave to the one who set me free.

I do not understand how he can treat me as a friend;

He does not know the paths I've tread, nor where my stories end.

Light burns bright within him—myself, there's naught but dark;

Yet being close has left us both not without a mark.

He has become more confident, no longer weak and shy;

I find myself thinking good thoughts, more as time goes by.

He loves me like a brother, when no one else would dare;

Why does he waste his time on me? Why does he even care?

I hide it well, but doubts I have—for how long will this last?

How long until he figures out the secrets of my past?

Dark and deadly secrets, though I do not quite recall—

Just that, because of evil in my heart, I lost it all.

Destruction of my homeland, part the price I had to pay

To take the evil Shadow Games and lock them all away.

It tore my heart to do it, but the task had to be done;

If not, the world would be destroyed—not just the life of one.

My very mind was locked away, my soul was sealed up tight—

Until he solved the Puzzle on that dark and fateful night.

But that was then, and this is now—the shadows have returned;

And we shall see if Yugi's love and trust I've truly earned.
