This Poem is Riku's point of view to Sora's poem Once Again

Abyss

There was something about his mischievously silly smile,

That always made me feel complete.

I stood there in the sea watching you,

Desperately trying to read out for my outstretched hand.

I couldn't move,

Suddenly I understood this was my punishment.

For existing.

"I'm not afraid," I told him gently

disappearing into the darkness of my heart,

my last glimpse of him fighting, breathing hand to reach the safety on my arms,

My world went dark as a wave that would tear us apart,

For what would seem like eternity , in our hearts.

When I awoke that's when someone spoke.

"Are you alright young man?" she asked.

"where am I?" I asked.

Feeling the beast within me rise.

Who were the people?

Where was I?

I was frantic.

"Calm down boy, we found you out there on the beach,

there you lay in the sand calling out for another young man."

"What is this place," I asked again.

"You're in a place we call abyss,"

Snatching away form her,

I ran.

It's been two years since that day,

Here I stand, looking suspiciously at the dark, tall buildings that surrounded me.

I felt a deadening pain clutch my heart.

I clasped my black hooded coat to my chest.

A fire now extinguished in my heart.

I could fell him,

I whispered to him though he'd never hear the words I'd spoken so far away.

"Hey guy, Hold your head up and look at me for I am who I used to be."

Suddenly my heart grew stronger. My source of power was memories.

"I'm coming Sora, just hold on."

It's been one year since that day.

Im my heat I pictured me walking onto that very beach that separated him from me.

There he was standing,

A look of longing placed upon his face so full of innocence.

Suddenly the darkness was gone

He turned around and looked at me.

There I was standing proud

Just the way he remembered me.
