Disclaimer: I have no clue who the song Destati is copyrighted to. It's on the Kingdom Hearts 1 soundtrack. It's sung by the Tokyo Philharmonic Chorus and the recording engineer is Toshiyuki Yoshida. That's all it says in the little CD booklet.

Unsung Hearts
V. Destati
Axel's POV
Floating. I feel like I'm floating... floating... floating? Am I? Where am I? I can't... feel anything... What happened? Wait... Roxas? Where... you... Am I... dead? Dead? Death... can a nobody actually die? Without a beating heart? They said I don't have a heart... so I can't really be dead... can I? But I feel… I don't know what I feel… but not dead… I don't think. Does that mean you're still alive? It had been so long... such a long time...
Emotion... love, pain, anger, fear... I felt them all because of you. Only... I don't have a heart, right? That's what they say. But they are wrong. I did have a heart. You... took it from me... the day you decided to leave. You took my heart from me. I died on the inside that day. And… you still don't remember, do you? You don't recall as I do. You don't remember what it was like before... before you... you vanished... left. And then you didn't remember... you didn't remember me when I finally found you... us... how could you not remember? How could you forget me? Forget everything? How?
You found out about him... that Sora... and suddenly I didn't exist anymore. Like less than I did before. Sora... I met him a few times. He reminded me of you... but he wasn't you. It was his fault you had left Organization XIII... his fault you left me. But... I guess being a Nobody... I guess you would want to find him. You were a part of him after all. Only... you were a part of me too... Did you know that? I don't think I ever told you that... before you left... I never told you... about my heart. I told Sora... yes, Sora. I guess I really can't blame him at all. Actually I don't mind him. I'm glad I got to fight alongside him once. It was nice. It was almost as if... you were there... And for a moment... I felt alive again.
And then I died or whatever happens to Nobodies… got swallowed up by that giant door… Door. Where? What door? Kingdom Hearts? I'm stuck... in Kingdom Hearts? But how? The door to... Kingdom Hearts... Will it open? I can't... Damnit! Let me out! I need to find him... to find you... my heart... Stuck, trapped. How long?
Are you there? Awake? Somewhere? Can you hear me? I thought for a moment I heard your voice calling my name. But it wasn't real, was it? Because you aren't really there, are you? If you are... if you really are there somewhere... Save me. Save me and I'll help you remember! I'll help you find the heart you don't have. Your memory and your heart... that's what you need to be whole, right? I'll help you. Your heart... I... I have... am...
Roxas, I am your heart.
That still belongs to you…

Notes: And enter Axel. When I wrote this, I imagined Axel stuck in Kingdom Hearts. Which in this is some third dimension type thing, where his conscious is floating around.
