Broken Mirror

A SasuSaku Poem

I don't want to come back

I don't want to be in that place hidden by leaves

That I used to believe was home

It's not home, I realized long ago

You are home

You, with ridiculous hair and never-ending inner strength

You gave me your heart

And I broke it

Callously

Carelessly

I treated you like a broken mirror

Giving distorted reflections of myself

But you were right

You were always right

And you, the emerald-eyed mirror

Knew me more than the words that tumble from my mouth

But as I don black cloaks and as blood falls from my eyes

I doubt you would recognize me any longer

There would be nothing in the mirror to see

So that's why

I cannot go back

To you

~The person called home~
