Disclamer: Naruto is the work Masashi Kishimoto. It is not mine. This is merely a fanfiction and as such it is not to be used for profit or gain of any kind. Let me repeat: It is not mine. Do not sue.


Goodbye dear friend

Dearly departed

Lost

To the eyes of the beast

Who lurks

Tongue tasting the air

For blood

A sickly red

We are gathered here

To morn

That which slipped through our fingers

Into those eyes

Slivers of the moon

Morn for him

Who died but lived on

Morn for he who lost all

To the roar of the cries of the dying

And the sight of endlessness

In blood

Morn for he

Who learned to win the war

But never the peace

Morn for him

Dearly departed

We are gathered here today

May we never meet again

In robes unadorned by red

Goodbye
