He stood at the gate
Right at the edge
A step away from freedom and destruction
Memories passed by on the other side
Visions of time long gone
And time long missed
He just watched as they sped past
What he wouldn't do just to step out into those scenes
And be apart of them once again
He could see Him in every moment
That man
The almost enough reason to break the barrier and leave everything behind
Almost
The Stoic emerged from the chaos of lost time
He stood at the gate
Right at the edge
Only an invisable line
A most powerful force between the two
The Stoic reached past it and touched a tear stained cheek
It was a painful reminder that this stoic, his love
Was free to choose
Inside or outside
And he could only stay
Stuck
Right at the edge
Time continued on the other side
Seeping life from the one
His one and only, aging and fading
No way to stop time
Like it had stopped him
Watching and waiting was all he could do
Now and forevermore
Before his love disappeared completely
Leaving him behind again
He gave a smile, a rare smile
An image the caged man clung to
For as much as it saddened him
It kept him going
So for right now
He could stay there
Awaiting the day when he could cross that line
Pass through the gate
And once again live on the outside
Even if it would be too late
He would stand till then
Right on the edge
This is what happens when you listen to your ipod while trying to go to sleep. I wrote this first in my notepad on my phone because I knew if I didn't write at 11:30 at night I would forget to do it in the morning. Couldn't let the inspiration go by.
So this is my first poem like fanfic I am pretty proud of it. The best stuff comes out at night. I would like people to interpret it there own way but I will put here what I was kind of seeing when I wrote it. It is a Watanuki dream sequence, he is at the gate opening of the shop watching his memories and those of Doumeki's flash by outside the shop. Doumeki steps forward and stands opposite him on the outside of the shop. All the memories passing by are taking pieces of Doumeki so Watanuki has to watch him fade away and leave him again. It is about how being caged in the shop has stolen a chance at a life with Doumeki and a life at freedom. But it is also kind of about how as much as it hurts he didn't get that chance he knows this is where he should be.
