Disclaimer: My sister and I do not own Death Note or any related materials.

AN: Another assignment based poem written by me with my sister's (Isis Shadowtamer) help. The assignment was to write a romantic poem describing how love is irrational and traumatic so we picked the most tragic, illogical, angst ridden romance in all of Death Note to illustrate it.

This poem's form is much freer than Forbidden Fruit, having no set number of syllables per line. The Rhyme scheme is: abba cddc effe ghhg ii.

We hope you enjoy.

Moon Drunk

People say the moon will make you go insane.

Well, I must confess, they are on to something there.

My digits long to dance like that white shimmering light throughout your wild hair.

So I ask, how can I not begin to love our binding chain?

`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`

It is absolutely terrifying how drawn I am to you.

I am forced to only imagine how magnificent your pale skin would feel under my burning touch.

Just a long fingered hand on my shoulder makes me tense and shudder, Ryuzaki, you are too damn much!

With only a glance your way, I know that against my mind, my body is enacting a coup.

`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`

How can I watch you eat? The way your tongue maneuvers over the curves of your sweets drives me crazy!

The sleeplessness that paints beautiful ebony ribbons for you is nothing but a relentless waking nightmare for me.

I toss and turn, it takes all my will to not pull your lithe body close, to make you see.

God, a taste...from a taste I think I would die! My vision of a perfect world is becoming so hazy...

`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`

Of all your distracting, unrelenting qualities, it is your eyes that are by far the worst

I could wonder forever, inescapably lost in the twisting hallways of those deep gray wells.

Ah, but when did I become so reckless? I see death in those eyes and I know it to be wrong, it resonates in every one of my cells.

Oh L, I need only to look into your hypnotizing eyes to behold the truth, to know you are my curse.

`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`s`

Though I pray it will, I know my love for you, my moon, will never die.

It breaks my heart, but I write this on a page stolen from death itself and my beautiful L Lawliet, I know you understand why.
