I AM working on my other two stories, I really am! It's just that for some reason, stupid Death Note can't get outta my mind. Then I suddenly had an urge to do a poem-ish thing, an on ACCIDENT ( I swear!) I found myself linking it to Death Note by the second verse. Anyway, hopefully this'll help me get over my DN fetish.

Disclaimer: Don't own Death Note.

Perfect Monster

I watched a child scream.
Did you hear him?
He touched me, so cold, so warm.
He dared me punish his dream,
His trading off of sin.
We smiled - my fate was torn.

I heard the scratches of the pen,
Did you taste its ink?
I drank its lament, its glee;
It mourned and slaughtered a friend.
Into the pool, his eyes, I sink,
The surface will harden to trap me.

I tasted his innocence, so sweet.
Did you feel the addicting denial?
I found a victory hiding the loss;
He stops our eyes to meet.
A moment arrested, memories so vile,
A war forever going, sanity the cost.

I felt him catch me as I fell.
Did you watch my heart?
I break the surface, only to find
His smile a blade; a bloodied hell
Whispers a tale, death was the start;
Sobs, laughs, love and hate intertwined.

My perfect monster is victorious,
We know it's to death that I succumb,
My vision blurs and breaths are low.
Oh, but it is so melodious!
While he taunts, my ears are numb,
For his heartbeat takes me over so.

Explanations: This poem barely makes sense to me, much less you. I'll try to explain it here.

It's in L's PoV.

The first verse is about when they first meet. I think. I keep on seeing that mental breakdown ("I've never been so humiliated!!" Raito freakout).

The second verse is maybe while L is so close yet so far to figuring Light out, or at least marveling at Light's acting skills.

The third (and maybe the last line of the second verse) is probably when Light touches the notebook again after forgetting about it.

And of course, the last two are about L's death.

(Awkward silence)

It was an accident! Some parts of this poem makes me sigh. I made pathetic attempts at trying to make it rhyme, but as long as you don't read it ALOUD, it might not seem so bad... maybe. It doesn't flow at all... then again, neither does L, right...?

Also, I'm gonna admit here I was more upset at learning Light was gonna die than when L died. I know, I know. I'm weird. Still, Light's death was so chaotic and horrifying (At some parts, I wanted to gag, laugh, and sob at the same time.), I'm unable to write a poem about it. L's seems much more writable.

Okay. Babbling over. Review?
