Contradiction

by Opal Night

It's been said there's a fine line between love and hate...what will Kaneda do when that line begins to blur? Oneshot, poem. KanedaTetsuo.

Disclaimer: I don't own Akira.

This is a simple poem about Kaneda's not-so-simple feelings for Tetsuo. You may take it to be based off either the anime or the manga.

Contradiction

You hate me

I don't know why

The reason died

Within your anger

With our friendship

Within bitter fury

So uncontrolled

You hate me

I watch you

In all your shades

Jet blown astray

You think you're a king

Your gaze, hard steel

Your bloody cape, regal

So prominent

I watch you

I then dream

Of gods and death

Drugged on ether

Darkened from the past

Dark smoky eyes

Darken my own with lust

So disturbing

I then wake

It was you

And not a girl

I want to hurl

For having this love

For my own sex

For loving a madman

So ashamed that

It was you

I block out

Your twisted form

Of you reborn

I remind myself

I must kill you

I must stop your chaos

So desperately

I block out

I hate you

You killed my friend

And a thousand

You're too cruel to live

You take and take

You've taken over me

So much I hate

I love you
