Summary: Renji's hands are stained in blood

A/N: I'm worried about a good friend of mine who is going through a difficult period in her life. It sort of sparked this story, even if it has nothing to do with her. So Mich, I'm here for you, whenever…

Since I was a young boy

My hands were stained in blood

The lives of those who hated me,

The lives of those I loved.

Since I became a young man

The stains deepened with time

I've forgotten just how to be pure

My sins have changed my life.

Now that I'm an adult

With a zanpakutou at my side

I can't forget the things I've done

But I'm told I should feel pride.

When darkness falls I cut myself

Just to see me bleed

It covers up the stains of those

I killed for my own need.

One day I hope to die alone

It's something I long for

My dreams are haunted with their screams

And I can take no more.

When I was a young boy

I prayed for innocent days

And now it seems I've lost the path –

I travel down the empty ways.
