I Can Tell
I can tell that Sakura's gone…not gone as in dead…but her life and personality is. She never leaves her room anymore, and to be honest no one knows what's going on in there. But I've seen her, bangs under her eyes, asprin in hand, pink hair frazzled, and green eyes dull…and lifeless. She might as well be dead.
I know Naruto's figured it out. I think the long sleeves were a clue, and maybe the constant aspirin makes me look like I really am hung over. Which…I am. My nights are lonely…and I take solace in the rich tasting liquid from the bottle, the cool metal of a kunai, and a slow puff from a cigarette. There's no hope for me…and I know it. So why not…I'm already done for. I can tell.
