Itachi's Sight
When my eyes lift to the horizon,
I don't expect a thing
My body is numb to the old pain,
Even as it is replaced
The new and rising sun,
No new day it shall bring
No longer is my mind even sane,
My life seems incomplete
I remember the past things I'd done,
Even as the birds begin to sing
My legs are strapped to the past in a chain,
Though release it I choose not
On that blank horizon,
My eyes don't see a thing
So much more, since then, my pain,
Warmth is soon to leave
My eyes that match the burning sun,
Only pain they will ever bring
No person I leave be sane,
Their lives were forfeit to me
So many bad things I have done,
The wind will sing to rejoyce
My life, because of my past, poison,
I cannot leave just yet, no definitely not.
And so as the sun sets once more,
I leave this poem a chore
The last few segments a little different,
From the one I left before
Never did I expect to kill,
Never did I plan for such pain
My heart is now forever still,
My death to all will be a gain
Sasuke, my last, my brother,
Do not hate me so
For I am just another,
A brother- in your mind- no
The blood dried on my hands,
And the chains wrapped about my soul
Never to wash away those bands,
My heart, an empty hole
So note the sudden changes in this little letter,
Do you see it there and do you see it here?
It's where at last my heart feels better,
As you watch me near
As my death toll rings aloud,
As I fall in defeat
I look into your eyes, a cloud,
Your life, my life, a cheat
So as I lie at your feet,
Dear Brother won't you see?
Your elder sibling- all beat,
Maybe as I fall, all alone just me
Maybe as I lie here now,
You understand my reason
I leave you here, no bow,
My last performance yet treason
The change in this story
Is where I began to fade
Not for me a single glory,
All of yours to shade
In my death I leave you strength,
That alone is enough to raise you
As I finally leave from beneath,
Into the sun I fly anew
Goodbye my brother,
With you I leave your might
Goodbye forever, no other,
To you I give my sight
