Falling

A Kingdom Hearts poem

I feel myself begin to fall,

My chest, once pierced, yet aches.

My heart, for hers, I freely give.

The darkness gladly takes.

I feel my mind, it's slipping

Was this my destiny?

To fall, to sleep, to fade away

'Til naught is left of me?

I think I made the proper choice

I think? I cannot say...

My mind should be in silence

It should not be this way.

Why can't it be simple?

Why can I not yet die?

I do not want to linger.

I want to say good-bye.

I was prepared. I made the choice.

I knew what it would do.

But even in the shadows,

Still I think of you.

I traveled far, across the worlds,

To see your face again.

I cannot fade with all my hopes

Of what could yet have been.

These hopes and dreams, so many,

My friends that I have gained,

I cannot rest in blissful peace

When hope is not yet drained.

And though I still am falling,

Into pure shade below,

I shall not fade within the dark,

This I'll have you know.

I have a plea, a last request

For you, who I hold dear

Will you be my guiding light

And bring me out of here?

I won't be who I was back then

When next we meet, in strife,

But I know you'll know me

And bring me back to life

I pray that time comes swiftly

Before I fade to less

Until then I'll be falling,

Falling, into darkness.
