Love Song by Prufrock (Sasuke Edition)
Can we go now, you and I,
When the village glows with a sunrise,
Like a bright chidori river;
Can we wander through the old dirt streets, sightseeing,
Hear the elderly's soft repeating
Old nights spent in ramen shops,
Solid punches ruining business trips for old sops
People who come to disturb our peace,
Those who told me that I could not stay with ease,
Leading me to changing my mind…
Do not ask why I go,
Just know that my journey is slow.
In the hide out they'll ponder,
Trying to remember why I wander.
A fall leaf slithers through the breeze,
A flyer weaves its way into the breeze,
Yellow eyes peer up from the pages,
Lingering on the street corners,
Seen only by those who do not want to be seen,
Always skulking in the shadows,
Waiting for the moment to finally strike.
There will be a day when he is found, surely found
Punished in the name of the lives he destroyed,
There will be a day for all injustice to crumble,
As justice itself crumbles in its daily fight,
Lives are constantly ripped apart and sewn back together,
As ours was, and as ours will be continually,
Until my mission is complete,
Until we meet and our questions have answers,
When there is time for sitting,
Time for discussing and living and kissing
As we take slow, sure steps under sakura blossoms.
In the hide out they'll ponder,
Trying to remember why I wander.
There must be a time for this to happen,
To hope for a new chance and rip out the old seams,
But memories still clog my dreams,
And the fabric of yesterday still has falling black hair, loneliness, loved ones long gone,
Do I dare?
Think of an escape to a group with a moron
But my katana is my only permanent fixture,
My moods swirl in a mixture
How we were influenced by the used-to-be trickster,
But those days are gone, and the sun has begun to flicker,
And do I dare,
Disturb the universe?
Within this moment, today
You seem terribly far away.
I knew the consequences,
That when I left I would create pain, longing, and anger,
I have felt it myself, visibly seeing the carnage of loneliness;
Family cannot be erased from the heart
And our love was seen in the early morning rays, sitting in treetops,
So how should I presume?
I have known you,
The way you fall and scrape your knees,
And I know you always stand back up,
Like a bird spraining its wing
Never ceasing to try and fly again
But there are birds of prey
Who devour, and destroy, and ruin,
So how should I presume?
I have known despair,
Whispers of betrayal and ruined bonds,
Eyes that were once warm now icy cold
[The tomoe spin like a tornado!}
Your meadow eyes watered as I pushed you away,
When I left and the leaves whispered across your cheeks
So then how should I presume?
And how can I apologize?
