Death Note 2

 

I never belonged

In your world,

So I seek

Another.

 

I've seen what

I needed to see,

Said what

I needed to say,

 

Except...                                     (I'm sorry)

 

It's my turn

To be selfish,

To leave without

Saying goodbye.

 

Let my fellow

Wanderers

Comfort you,

Too late.

Silence

 

Every silence

Has a quality.

 

Anxious,

Cautious,

Conspiratorial,

Contentment.

 

Ominous,

Anticipatory,

Smoldering,

Stillness.

 

If every silence

Asks a question,

Then each also

Provides an answer,

 

Casting the long

Shadow of elusive

Truth, or lies,

You must embrace.
