Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or the characters. I simply own the story itself. Naruto belongs to Sasuk…. I mean Kishimoto.

No Criticism, Flamers or any of that. Don't like, don't read. That is why they invented the "X" at the top of your browser and the back key in the address bar. Do not leave the story via the review section, seeing as that keeps you within the story that you possibly didn't give a chance.

Hey guys… the normal header I do isn't needed since this isn't a full length story. I wanted to write a poem again… since I haven't written any in years. Of course, since I am a Sasuke x Naruto(Naruko) writer… I wanted my poem to be about their bond. It's very short, has no true spoilers, but you will probably understand what each verse is about if you kept up with the anime/manga.

Well anyway, enjoy!

There was a time when leaves were free.
Blowing through every tree.
There were many fears.
Such lonely tears.

Two leaves connected.
One was rejected.
Rivals from the start.
Too little in their heart.

One was smart.
The other fell apart.
Both were alone.
One was known.

One left its home.
The other went to roam.
The home was pure.
The roam needed a cure.

One was white.
The other hated light.
The other was black.
White wanted him back.

Black caused death.
White held its breath.
Light got strong.
Dark felt it was wrong.

Light shed many tears.
All throughout the years.
Dark drifted away.
Nothing could keep it at bay.

A heart left torn apart.
There was no fresh start.
This bleeding heart died.
It was already denied.

One leaf was torn.
The other was left to mourn.
Friends to the end.
Let it ascend.

For two souls are one.
The threads have spun.
The war is won.
Now things are done.

These leaves are free.
There is no tree.
There are no fears.
But just aching tears

Its sort and simple… but I do hope people enjoyed it. If you didn't, oh well… everyone has different tastes. I wanted to give my normal followers something to read, even though it's really short, due to my lack of internet that was preventing me from updating. I kept receiving questions of 'are there any new stories you will be releasing for us to read?' in response… Yes. There are a lot of stories waiting for my readers. I just need my internet to last long enough to get it up. Or at least, for my internet to last long enough for me to put my documents into the document manager so I can update the stories through my phone(or something.)

Anyway, to those that read this… thank you for taking your time to read such a short poem. The last time I wrote a poem was… maybe 8 years ago, and it got into a young poet book. Since then, I decided to focus on writing stories since those around me grew more attached to my horror stories than my 'dark and gloomy' poems. (Yeah, that was what they called it.)

For those that didn't like the poem… like I said, oh well, but I still thank you for wasting your time.

In reality… this wasn't going to be a poem that rhymed… that was just how it ended up when I got to the second verse. I didn't even notice, but said 'screw it, it's staying like this.'

I have created accounts on Tumblr, Twitter and Facebook for you guys to follow me so that there isn't as much confusion on when chapters will be posted or information like that. You do not have to ask for permission to add me, as long as you aren't a troll or something like that.

My username for Tumblr and Twitter are also DaemonDeDevil but for ease, I have the links to my accounts for those sites in my profile at the top.

That is all.
