Author’s Note: Though he possesses eloquent speech, incredible intelligence, and amazing dueling expertise, Yami Bakura lacks empathy. Simply put, I thought it was time for fan fic readers to see a different side of him. In this poem, he spills out all of his suppressed feelings for Bakura.
Disclaimer: Yaoi between Yami Bakura and Ryou-chan. Mostly composed of romance with angst intertwined in its depths. Portrays Yami Bakura as an atheist who is revived by his angelic counterpart, Ryou-chan.
True Lies
Inanimate objects don’t cry
Then why are there tears falling from my eyes?
All laws of logic this does defy
Here and now, even the truth lies
Not trusting my emotions
Or even myself, for that matter
Suddenly, I arrive at the notion
That nothing in this life really matters
But why is that so sorrowful to say
As I continue to hail eccentricity?
Maybe from this rebellious lifestyle I am starting to stray…
Just as I was coming to terms with my own originality
I come from hell…In all honesty I am it too
Like a soulless demon, I wander the planet
My spirit contains such a dark hue
A heathen such as myself can no longer stand it
Wandering around aimlessly
Existing but never living
Yet I’ve always been able to state painlessly,
"To no God or Goddess my soul I am giving.
For I don’t believe in religion
Or that I have a soul
Even if I did, it would never be forgiven
Since I would never be able to fit in a saint’s role."
Drifting in and out at times
Fantasy and reality start to collide
Buried deep within a spell’s rhyme
Trapped in an endless void of blackness, I hide
Yet from the shadowy depths of my mind
A voice calls out to me
Not even an archangel’s tone could be so kind
Hearing my pathetic pleas
Why--Why do you risk being drawn into arctic abyss
Where there is no return?
Don’t bother trying to fulfill my only wish
Just leave me to crash and burn
These tears--they won’t stop coming
Still you kiss them off my visage
Then I realize that I am running
Perhaps this is another mirage
Could this be an illusion
Everything I feel for you?
Unable to reach a reasonable conclusion
Letting go all I’ve fallen into
All I know is that I need and want you so
Forgive me for not expressing that like I should
I’ll follow you anywhere you go
Wherever, whenever I would
Show me what love is
Honestly, I don’t have a clue
Teach me about this
So that I can please you
And give you a piece of heaven
Though you’re closer to it than I am
Hold you close and then
Be your sacrificial lamb
Whatever wings I do own
I’ll tear them off my back
Just to listen to that delightful tone
Making up for all that I lack
Slipping into silent slumber
Such a sweet siren-like song
No longer torn asunder
The world I know fades away and is gone
There’s just you and I
Dancing to a rhythm divine
Rivers of sadness has run dry
Knowing that you are now mine
Lead me as you once did
Allowing me to bask in your compassion
Memories of mine won’t permit to be rid
Of your eternal passion
Ever-lasting affection
Causing you pleasure
Also my resurrection
Letting me be with you forever
Loving you is my greatest accomplishment
Don’t think I’m ashamed of that
Only once in a lifetime an archangel is sent
Restoring my heart to where it’s at
