Opening: Not a SasuNaru. Thought I should tell you ahead of time. This is spoken in Haku's POV and the 'you' is Zabuza.

Warning: Yaoi. Character death, but it's in the main story line of the actual anime so it shouldn't be a surprise. Lol.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto and that shouldn't be a surprise either.

String by string

I'm unweaving

Lost all hope

But still believing

I was alone. So hellishly alone. My father was left in the dark and my mother couldn't look me in the eyes without crying. Once he knew what I was and what my mother was, my father killed my mother and tried to kill me too.

I've lost control

Of my own damned soul

And now manipulated

To do what I'm told

I killed him before he had the chance to kill me and then I ran. My eyes were dull and I was cruel to things as I tried to survive on garbage. I felt the true pain. The pain of being utterly alone and not needed by anything in this world. And I lived like that until I met a man who wanted my power. He wanted what everyone feared. I thought that, if that was the closest thing to love I could get and if I could be needed by one person, I would take it.

And so I left one hell for another.

Nomi: This is a continuing poem I wrote especially for The Haku and Zabuza experience. Every chapter is part of one big poem. I won't write these mini-talkie-things on all of them cause I wrote this in one night.

Mol: Okay!

Both: Ja! Please read on…
