Thoughts of a Ryuzoku

I see you,

Yet,

My mind wanders,
All I see is that

Everlasting smile, those slitted eyes

And I wonder,

Can it be true?

Is it really him?

He who hides the shadows of darkness,

My enemy,

Beneath such a calm exterior?
I close my eyes,

And I know,

It is him.

But as my eyes sneak a peek,

I doubt the truth once again. 

So many times I wondered,
Perhaps I'm wrong,

Perhaps he's different,

He looks so normal, so human,

Almost to a fault.

But then I turn around once again,

And see who you for who you are,

A Mazoku, my hated enemy. 

It would've been easier,

To accept it

Had you been a serpent,

Or a monstrous looking creature

With bloody fangs and menacing claws.

But what I see before me,

Someone who smiles, and laughs, someone who seems to

Feel.

I don't know how many times,

I've wasted my tears,

Hoping that I could one day find your heart,

But I know,

My image of what I see the heart to be,

It doesn't exist within you,

Does it?

Does it?!?!

I'm sorry, forgive me,

It's not your fault,

That my eyes cannot see through

Your exterior,

Yet, I know it would've been easier

Had I never laid eyes

On your physical face,

Then maybe, I could hate you in peace,

Instead of this restless feeling

That always seems to think,

There's something deeper feeling hidden within you

When there's not, is there?
