a\n: dear readers, i know all of you have probably chewed your fingers to itty bitty little stubs because you wanna know what happens in chapter 13 of blood and sand, but i'm afraid to say i'm in a little bit of a pickle. so before you hunt me down with kunais and rasengan, read this little poem that i wrote about gaara from sakura's point of view. enjoy this and don't forget to read blood and sand, my most prized story.

xoxo moonlight^^


The quiet demon

Evaded of sleep and lost of love,

Is in most need of god's life giving dove.

Feared by all far and near

The only one who can't shed tears.

Left to wallow in his pain,

He experiences hell's hurtful game.

Yet, all I see is sadness in his eyes.

And that is where truth and destiny lies.

The victim of killing, slayer of blood

Yet he is the only one I can love

To see a smile appear on his tortured face,

Will make me thank god for his grace.

A silent demon hidden in the crowd

Bearer of darkness' menacing shroud

The one with a deadly vicious hiss

The lips of whom I want to kiss

To look into hard, cold eyes

The ones that killed many lives.

Crimson colored sand below

Forgotten dreams and hopes mellow.

To kill one life, two life, three

Makes you a demon in god's eyes you see.

To break away from love's tight hold

Is hurtful, sad and very bold.

To shun away from the peoples' eyes

Only makes you want to cry.

Endless tears begin to flow

As the river doesn't know where to go.

The bodies of the ones you slayed

Placed aside for you have played.

You gambled, you bet, you took a chance and you lost.

Your mind, your soul, and especially your boss.

Your drive is gone, your soul is frayed

And you can't remember the hell you've made.

A quiet demon, unable to sleep.

The only choice he has is to weep.

The color of blood stains his heart.

And this is the hardest part.

My innocent who has been turned mad

Please do not cry it is not all that bad

You deserve more than you get

And you just haven't received the chance yet.

The quiet demon.
