The Test

by Livia-Sobriquet

This poem is really applicable to anyone who is in love with an Uchiha, but fails to obtain recognition and appreciation by him. Her attempts to please him are compared to a test, as he analyses her to deem her worthy of his attention.

The Test

Your eyes

Black as night

They hold me, captivated,

Paralyze me.

I cannot move

I am under your spell.

I cannot blink

For fear of missing the details of your eyes:

Long lashes frame the dark orbs within.

Nothing can pass you

Unwatched.

Your hair

Dark like your gaze

Falls elegantly into your pale face.

It shines in the moonlight.

I want to touch it

But I cannot move.

Your fingers

Calloused from years of fights

They could brush my skin softly

Or kill me skillfully.

Your face betrays nothing.

You stare me down

I can feel your power.

You are dangerous,

But I can't help admire your skill.

What are you thinking

In your intelligent mind?

Am I worth your attention?

Do I deserve to be praised

By one as great as you?

You blink.

The spell is broken.

You brush past me.

You walk away.

I am alone.

I stand in the rain

And I realize:

I have failed the test.
