Alright, first posted fic...poem thing.

I do not own Naruto, nor the characters related. Or anything else really, so please don't sue.

My sweet, My darling.

You seem so broken now.

Stripped of the image.

YOUR image

The masks you love to wear, to flaunt to change are burning now

disintegrating under your acid laced tears

layer after layer are turning to ash,

leaving behind a new personality to pick at

Is that what you're scared of little one?

Scorn?

If it is you will get none from me.

It would be rather hypocritical of me, dear.

Laughing at someone you're hiding so hard, trying in vain to keep from the world.

Another mask is rotting as we speak, and your sobs hurt hurt HURT like broken glass in my eyes Through it all, layer upon layer,

mask after mask

lie after lie

I wonder...

Who are you trying to fool?

Everyone else sees a girl weeping, tears falling and nose running.

All I see is a little girl-

a sad, fragile lonely girl-

with hair like dead vines and eyes like stone

Trying so hard to piece together what was never there.

I turn my back and close weary eyes,

So keep crying China Doll,

I won't tell,

It hurts too much, like looking in the mirror.

Well what did you think? R&R please and thank you!
