I don't own Bleach but damn I wish I did : )

I'm Sorry

Just by knowing me you'd never think I have such terrible secrets

You'd never see the blood that has been washed clean from my dirty hands

Never hear the tinge of sadness that is ever present in my voice

Never guess the madness threatening to break loose

I harbor a murderer inside me…a monster

For I killed an innocent man…One that I protested to love

When I ran him through with my sword the words "Thank you" fell from his lips, his last words

Why? How could such a small phrase fill me with so much guilt and yet, still give me the strength to continue on…Moving on…so easy to say much harder to do, until…

One day, I met a man

This man, so different in appearance in personality but, somehow very familiar

Time passes and slowly the same feeling I once had returns to me.

His intense amber eyes, boisterous ways…He deserves more than a monster more than an empty shell

He deserves to give his heart to someone who can give theirs in return

I won't let him love me; I have no heart to give

Because mine was buried long ago beside my mentor, friend and love

And there it will stay until this body fails me

I'm sorry but my soul wants to rejoin his and together we can be reborn anew

Wait for me…

Kaien Shiba….

I'm coming for you
