A/N Wrote this today, because I couldn't sleep. Was trying to work on my story but ended up with this instead? XD? And it's a Sasuke-centric poem. So of course it's angsty. :) I advise the reader to read it slowly, for all poetry must be read slowly in order for one to appreciate it clearly. Maybe even read it out loud? (That's what I do, hehe)


llllllllll

Revenge

for my slain self, a "me" that passed on.

Pools of blood around the bodies call,

"Look at what he's done."

lllllllll

Mask the red that cannot lie.

Avert your gaze, close the eyes.

I have no dreams. I have no smile.

A house so silent, but only once in a while.

llllllll

And the Avenger sees a bond so seeming-

Heaven seeks by a seal with meaning.

Fragile. Tears. Green eyes screaming.

A boy so lost. Emotions intervening.

lllllll

"I am on a path the rest of you cannot follow."

llllll

Thank you. And good bye.

I had no dreams. I had no smile.

A photo fell facedown for a while.

And the Avenger sought by a seal so seeming-

Heaven saw a bond with meaning.

Smirking. Watching. Snake eyes screaming.

A boy with purpose. Emotions intervening.

(i am a different person now

a coldness so convincing

can't stop fidgeting, shaking

my facade crumbling

raw emotion betrays me

i give it all away

naked

nowhere left to hide)

ll

"Itachi... Here I am."

l

Now die.
