Oh...I like this! The rhythm is beautiful, the poem flows...It's beautiful!

...chain?

blink blink

hey...does Ryou wear a chain on his Ring?

Really cool, though.

Kinda confusing, but it's probably -meant- to be ambiguous, so... shrugs

bounces back out

... You're my favourite short story writer...

It's so poignant and wistful, and the regret he feels at the end just -bites-. I hope you never stop writing introspective Ryou/Bakura relationship fics.

So I started out by reading this, frowning, and reading it a couple times. Then I caught the title, and realized what was happening. I said "Good poem," nodded my head, and then clicked on something else.

But later I found it creeping into my mind at random points in the day. And taking into consideration that Bakura is working with his Yami, it really makes a point. I just...I really like this. But I like all your work.

Basically, you have once again written something with twice as much in between the lines. Brava!

I'd love to know what this poem's real intention was besides being about Bakura. While I have my own theories, I find the author's intent is sometimes most intriguing in comparison with my own views.

Either way you wish, I absolutly love this poem.
