Okay. Sorry I haven't updated for a bit. This is just one part of what I think will be three or four. It was an original request from XionTheBlackRose, who is an awesome fan! Hey Xion, did you think it would turn into multi parts?
Anyway, this poem is about Sora and Riku. It is about their friendship and what happened to it.
Enjoy and review!
Light and Dark: A Ballad of Opposites (Part 1)
We were friends
were we?)
In a better place
Where the sand was coarse
And the breeze was salty.
I was second, and you were
My (rival) best friend.
Everything was perfect,
And then I lost (her)
You
To the (temptation)
Darkness.
(passage of—
Sora!
Riku!
Come with me child; he has found friends to replace you.
I have to find my friends!
—time, untouched by the darkness)
But no more.
I have. . . felt it,
Coursing through my
(heart)
Veins like the blood that
Gushes from the victims
Of (my blade) conformity.
I welcome it, and I
Have let it take me and
My (freewill) world and
Everyone along with it.
Sora. Why?
(because I am the light)
(and I am the darkness?)
(one without the other. . .?)
The (weapon) Key?
Yes, the
(envy)
Enemy of
(him)
Darkness.
I will fight to regain
(?what never was?)
My friends and take back
(my life) the light.
(shattering—
Worthless child, you know nothing!
Please! What happened to you?
No one can save me!
. . .I can
—of light unborn)
Darkness rules all
And it unlocks the power
Unlike your pitiful (heart)
Key, which seals all hope.
Immersion and relentlessness,
And my key. . .
It will unlock
Hate.
Fear.
And power.
(You were never my friend)
(Please just come back)
(Wipe those tears from your face
you're not a baby anymore)
(Can't you fight the darkness
or the hate inside?)
(Emotion undone from being)
My friends have abandoned me,
Even my Key.
How am I to fight now?
He (Riku) has taken everything
from me.
No.
I will fight.
I will burn bright.
Forsaken fulfillment.
I will break his (soul and body)
Darkness and bring my friend back.
I will.
(Please let me free!
I have done what you wanted)
(I'm coming Riku! Hold on!)
(One that knows nothing
can understand nothing)
(Unending carnage)
I- I have fought back
And my body is my own.
I need to help (Sora) a friend
Once lost but never forgotten.
I wield my own key,
As I fight through the darkness
And realize who I am.
I'm sorry, Sora.
Goodbye.
(the door opens)
(the door closes)
I fight his darkness
Manifested as (Ansem) the enemy.
Through hell and back
I will do anything for my friends
And fight until the
End of the worlds.
(and the heart—
What is this place?
I don't know.
Is that a door?
Where does it lead?
Come on. . .
—rebuilds from the ashes)
Riku! No, please!
And he smiles.
Wipe those tears from your face.
You're not a baby anymore.
He smiles.
Come on, Riku!
(the heart shatters)
(the mind shatters)
(the soul shatters)
(everything is annihilated)
Riku?!
Sora. . .
Riku!
oh god I'm sorry. . .
(the heart shatters)
(the mind shatters)
(the soul shatters)
(everything is annihilated)
Nothing can repair them.
The moon shines on.
The heart beats weakly.
And the door seals itself,
Shutting
(him)
The world away from all.
(The water rushed over the pearly white sand as the sun sank beyond the horizon. They sat on the Paopu tree, basking in its beauty and warmth.
"Tell me, Riku. We'll always be best friends, right?
He looked over to the boy. "Yeah, Sora, of course we will."
"Promise?" Riku nodded.)
I promise. . .
