Author's Notes
This one is set after he finds out about Kouji, but before Ophanimon restores his memories. The last one, in case I forgot to mention it, is set after Cherubimon "creates" him but before he comes face to face with the other children.
It reads a little fabricated, but that's because it's Duskmon. We all know what happened.
By the way, that last part takes place in "Stuck in the Sakkakumon with You".
Dusk is the beginning of darkness in the evening, after twilight.
Up next, Nightfall.
Enjoy, and tell me what you think.
Approaching Dusk
It wasn't a one step process getting there. Set during/after the Duskmon saga.

Dusk
Mirror, red curved gleaming sword,
Showing face…his face. Blue
Eyes, familiar, ever so familiar,
And a name echoing painfully in my heart.
My heart. My heart. I have no heart.
Warrior as I may, cast aside my burden.
But that name echoes still, those eyes burning
Holes in my focus, my head, my steel.
The black canvas breaks, holes fabricating,
Letting light through the cracks it leaves.
Sword swung down to stay its path;
That name dragged me under.
Admittedly obsessed, I sought answers,
I needed to know why?
Why did his face reflect back to me?
Why did he pull against my bounds?
His memories, his face, they burned my mind.
Why? This is his pain, not mine! That light,
It pulled at me, it hurt – I fought – cursed, survived.
I ran…but he followed. That accursed light.
