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.

8. Not the Real Me

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.

Not The Real Me
By Riku

I want to be the me
The me I used to be
That different person
The one you were so certain
Would save you every time
You stepped out of line

I want to be the me
Only your eyes see
The first one
To whom you always run
No matter what was wrong
I was always so strong

I want to be the me
Back when I felt so free
You were the first thing
To which I would cling
I followed you every where
Even if I wasn't yet aware

I miss who I was
And I miss you because
I love you and need you
And I hope you need me too
From you I cannot stray
I don't want to fade away
