A/N: A delayed chapter indeed. My apologies! The string of midterms and projects are over, so I am not so busy (for now).
As far as this poem goes, I'm not trying to pair these two off, I swear! That would just be a bit weird. :3
I don't own Tegami Bachi.
Enjoy!
light/dark (Lag/Lawrence)
a light upon the land, a darkness within the heart
a shadow without an end, and a glow that knew no start.
the burdens upon them both: a light of hope for his friends,
that dark salvation for the world, resolve unwavering to the end.
a never-ending cycle of darkness into light,
noble causes rendered meaningless if evil deeds helped win the fight.
light must be extinguished, thrown asunder at all costs.
those precious they held dear never again shall suffer loss.
equal as all may be, life-long darkness, maddening.
a life lived without light is a heart ever saddening.
their fundamental flaws, fatal errors in their minds
not a shadow without light, without the dark they'd wander blind.
light shining from within, shrouds of darkness through the land
and in that careful moment, they both knew just where they'd stand.
