Work Text:

Raised as the heir of the tombs, their prince,

I bear these marks on my back ever since.

Blinded by greed, I stroved to be a God,

Took control of my servants using the rod.

Lying and manipulating is what I do best,

I did everything to succeed in my quest.

A few sweet words lulled into an open ear

Is all it takes to be their commandeer.

Nothing but cattle, following their owner’s call.

I was destined to rise above them all.

 

All except for one, and I’ll not forget that day,

when you recklessly jumped into my bike’s way.

Equal in power and minds thinking alike,

We allied and together we would strike.

You’ve no idea what you did to me right then and there,

You are the first friend for whom I truly care.

The first to understand my sorrows and woes,

A deep connection no one else knows.

You’ve lost your final game and left me to weep,

Safe in my Ib your Ren I will keep.

 

Sister says I’m a better person than I was before,

Caring about people, valuing friendship and more.

She says it’s due to Yugi and his whole nerd crew,

But that's not true, because all that I owe to you.

Now memories are all that you have left behind,

Other traces of you I cannot seem to find.

It’s almost as if you were never there,

I ache to run my hands through your wild hair.

Your rosy skin below my lips in a soft kiss,

Your annoying grin and sarcasm I still miss.

 

Year after year, the time has passed ever since,

And still I remain to be the scarred prince.

I have lived my life as good as I can,

From a young, foolish boy to a grown up man.

Lying and manipulating is what I do best,

But now there is an empty space in my chest.

The empty space you left behind maybe time will heal.

And suddenly I find myself to wonder... were you even real?

Notes:

Hi there, I dunno what happened but I felt like writing a poem today lol. It didn't quite turn out as I wanted it to because there are a few things I would've liked to cover but then it would've gotten too long. Oh well.
And thanks to Tia for the beta!
