A Samurai's Regret
By Miyu 6
A/N: At the moment this is an angst poem that I wrote after being inspired by Samurai X: Reflection but I may decide to turn this into a one-shot story later on. Enjoy for now! ^_~
***
Drowned in anguish
Swimming in tears
Pools of redemption
In the midst of my fears
Crawling for forgiveness
Longing to repent
The morning dove sings
Of the angels assent
And the beings they whisper
Of a night long ago
Where the sin crept so slowly
Through the cracks in my soul
Where darkness roams always
Light is seldom there
Where no one will catch me
A dire affair
Turning me senseless
No morals I keep
The screams of the dying
Being cast into sleep
Curled round my body
The feeling to beware
A dark suffocation
A lack of good air
Each slice of the sword
Each fatal blow
Brings infinite sorrows
That only one as I can know
Covered in blood
I find my way home
Knowing what tomorrow holds
I trudge through the loam
And I hold my sore arm
Limp at my side
A scar that will linger
Though the pain will reside
And along with my arm
My heart, it aches too
All the people I've killed
All the children I slew
Will I never find forgiveness?
Will I never find peace?
Is killing what I was made for?
Will my pain ever surcease?
