AN: We've been studying poems at school and I thought I'd try a different style to my usual. I'd like it if you read my other and compared ;) Because this has a lot of enjambment which is supposed to make it flow better and make the lines stand out. Con-crit please :D
From Tôshirô Hitsugaya's POV. Obviously, he's talking about Momo :D
How many deaths does it take
for lives to be saved
and for justice to wake?
How many killers must be caught
justice to be brought
and Children to be taught,
before the whole world sees
the light I see now?
How many questions must the heart ask
before answers are found
and indecision is drowned?
How many times must life repeat
atmosphere heat
and the two world meet
before the cycle is broken at last?
We all draw our swords for three reasons.
One, out of arrogance,
The worst way to fall.
Two, down to orders,
A dutiful way to die.
And Three, to protect,
To take a hit for someone
who is close.
But who is close?
Do we attack for our friends?
For our family?
For our lovers?
Do we defend for our honour?
Our lives?
Or our dignity?
When we kill is it to stop them?
To take their life?
Or to take revenge?
And when we die is it down to loyalty?
Down to pride?
Or down to our weakness in battle?
Who decides fate?
Who decides who lives and who dies?
As I swing my sword, who
decides the fate of my enemy
and the fate of myself?
Who has the right to cast
judgement on us?
If there is someone, why
does he not destroy the evil
and treat the good?
Maybe it's because
that person sees the light in dark
and dark in light.
Where is the boundary between
good and evil?
How far do you have to step over
to become totally evil?
Is it possible to have no good
in your heart?
Maybe this is why he
cannot decide.
We all have sinned.
We all have.
Including me.
So what if I die
for nothing?
If I lie
by the feet
of the person I wish to protect.
What if my blood
is spilled
and I drown in it's pool
of crimson darkness?
What if after I die,
the one I was trying to save
died too?
Then would my whole life
have been worth nothing?
That's why I must
strive for power
so those I love will
never fall.
And those I hate
will only die at the
tip of my own sword.
And if I must die
I will have put my all
into the fight.
I want to be able to
leave this world and say
one thing,
I died in replace of my love,
who will now live
without fear
and without deception
and who will remember me,
as the one she will never
Forget.
AN: I may update with some more, each with different techniques. This was enjambment, like I said. TBH, I don't like it I'm just trying things out. BTW, is the 'drown' bit right? :s :D Enjoy xxx
