The Solution to All Things

by Kaiomi

Little on the dark side. Kenshin's final decision to vanquish the pain of his past. Will it resort to suicide?

Disclaimer: Don't own Kenshin, this poem hardly even relates to it but I didn't want to post it on fictionpress.net.  Hope you guys can see the connection between my poem and Kenshin.

The Solution to all Things

One swift strike,

All I need, to take away

This burning pain

As it's slowly engulfing me

Refusing to let go.

Sweetness,

Drops fall,

Staining the milky carpet,

Crimson red.

For a brief moment the heartache's gone.

I hold my sword,

This time covered with the blood of my own.

I've finally found it,

My solution.

Pain is a small enough sacrifice,

In exchange for eternal bliss,

My weapon finds it's mark

Plunges in-

Inside I'm screaming

Words no one can hear

But this time I know for sure,

This nightmare I've been living-

Has finally ended.

Just a note: I'm not encouraging you guys to hurt yourselves to get over pain.  I was just a little overly depressed about my grades and writing it out for me helps a lot more. J
