A/N: Another poem I wrote for my creative writing class. The assignment was to write a poem that personified something so I did it from Fai's point of view, speaking to darkness.
Darkness, in my life, I've seen many things;
I've spent time with peasants and in the presence of kings.
But of all to whom my friendship has been professed,
Darkness, you are the one I've always liked best.
There's never a time with you that I feel out of place.
I always feel safe in your protective embrace.
When I am with you, I can finally be real;
No more hiding the things that I feel.
I can tell you my secrets and not have to lie,
And when you see my tears, you never ask why.
You just hold me close and help me to hide
When I can no longer keep all of these things inside.
Nothing I tell you can cause you to hate,
And my past is not something that's up for debate.
You just listen in silence when I have something to say,
And when my insufficiencies surface, you hide them away.
I've found so much relief in your infallible cover;
That's why I'd name you as my first real, true lover.
I know that to me, you'll always be true.
There's no one I'd ever trust more than you.
For you are the one who relieves all my fears,
And you are the one who catches my tears.
As for things I don't like, there's just one small part:
Darkness, I wish you'd not try to take over my heart.
A/N: I think it turned out alright, though I wish I could have weaved Kurogane in there some place... I tried putting him in there, just referring to him as "him", but I never mention anywhere in the poem that this piece isn't from my point of view so it made it sound like there's some rapist I'm trying to hide from or something. Yeah, I didn't want that so I just avoided the whole subject. The teacher already thinks I'm mentally unstable XD
