We Are Even Now Crying Out

by Chasyn

On hiatus indefinitely. Sora and Kairi aren't friends with Riku anymore. They went their separate ways once they returned to Destiny Islands. But Riku is still on Sora's mind. All the time. Riku/Sora, cutting, suicide, language, and other junk. Be warned.

4. Hero

Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts or its characters. I own the poem. I wrote it. Although you're supposed to think Riku wrote it.

Hero

By Riku

What makes someone a hero
Isn't always so black and white
It's not the costumes you wear
Or the bad guys you fight
It's not the super powers
Or always doing right
It's not always happy smiles
Or living in the light

What makes you a hero
Is the heart beating in your chest
The love you feel for your friends
And how you always do your best
You're handsome and strong
Of that there's no contest
But what really matters
Is how you passed my test

What makes you my hero
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
Is how you saved my life
When I had no way out
You called my name
I heard you utter and shout
Unless with you
I am without

You are my hero
My savior and my soul
You complete me
The other half to my whole
You kissed my lips
And my heart you stole
When I'm around you
Myself I can't control
