Hi, everyone! I think this is my first SasuXSaku poem. I did one that was ItaXSakuXSasu (mostly it was ItaXSaku, though) called Sorrow's Song. If you like this and would check that one out, or any other poems I've done for Naruto, too, I would really appreciate it. Thanks, and enjoy!
"Two Broken Hearts"
Two broken hearts
One faint heartbeat
Two hollowed breaths
One shaky gasp
Two fractured souls
One faint lifeline
Clinging to life
Yet at death's grasp
I created
Your broken heart
Could I repair
Your destroyed past
Could we as one
Help the other
Will darkness fade
Or weak light last
Your will's alive
Light's fading fast
You won't survive
That much longer
There's so much pain
I put you through
So that I could
Become stonger
Yet you didn't
Waver in love
I pushed you back
And still you came
I lay dying
My quest is done
You're beside me-
It's all in vain
Why won't you leave
For someone else
Clinging to me
Asking nothing
Giving your love
Never returned
Still by me now
As I'm dying
Your are hurt worse
Attend to you
I don't have much
Time left to live
Though I wish I
Could share the way
I truly feel
I want to give
I do love you
Though you'll never
Learn that truth, since
I'll die right here
And if you try
To heal me when
You're so injured
You're time is near
Yet you still say
"Our hearts are one
We'll live or die"
Don't you get it
We won't survive
That's what I think
But you persist
Pushing your limit
We're two broken hearts
With one faint heartbeat
Two hollowed breaths
One shaky gasp
Two fractured souls
One faint lifeline
Clinging to life
Yet at death's grasp
Maybe we will
Survive, go on
And heal the scars
So badly burning
Tearing our hearts
Ripping our souls
Finding no salve
To mend the sting
So I softly
Whisper to you
"I'll stop running
Accept your heart
Though I'm just as
Broken, I'll try
To return mine
And do my part"
Your face is lit
The darkness fades
My shell softens
Within your gaze
Says, "I love you…"
Falls beside me
Guess we've survived
Death's deadly graze
We're two broken hearts
With one faint heartbeat
Two hollowed breaths
With one shaky gasp
Two fractured souls
One faint lifeline
Clinging to life-
Beyond death's grasp.
Basically, Sasuke's dyingandSakura's badly wounded and she's trying to heal him. He's saying, "No, why should you care? I don't deserve this." But Sakura still persists because she hasn't given up her love for him. I'm considering this could go right after a Sasuke and Itachi battle in whichSasuke finally defeats him. For some reason I get that image...
Sorry if the arrangment looks a little unusual. I could've done this with 8 syllables per line, and simply moved every other line up, making this shorter, but I really wanted to try 4 syllables per line, and I liked the rhythm it created. Well, what do you think? Please R&R!! Thank you! XD
