Hey everybody! ^^ I decided I wanted to write a poem for SasuSaku, so I wrote this piece of crap. ^^ Since I wrote both a songfic and a poem for NaruSaku, I wanted to do the same for SasuSaku, my OTP. Anyway, not much to say about this one. ^^ Anyway, I do not own Naruto. Enjoy! ^^


Footsteps

Fast

Slow

Getting softer

Quieter

Louder


My heart is pounding

As I sit still

Fearfully watching you

As you step past me

My eyes wide

As you walk further

And further away from me


I have to stop you

The radiance that circles you aimlessly

It isn't your strength

I can feel it

Tainting your spirit

Burning your mind

Stabbing your heart


Why do I hesitate?

Is it because I'm afraid of you?

I have to stop you

I lift myself off the ground

My voice ripping from me

Slicing through the air

As I run at you

My arms outstretched


But you keep walking

Can't you hear me?

I embrace you tightly

Your footsteps falling silent

Your heart pounding in my ears

My tears running

Down the sides of my face


My green eyes scream

Silently

As your black and red irises

Face me

Confused

Angry

Hurt

"Don't do it...Please..."


I hold you

Gently

Resting my cheek against your shoulder blade

Crying

Falling

Deeper

And deeper

Into you


Your eyes

Clouded

Pained

"Please…"

I can feel your heart slow

I can hear your breathing get weaker

I can see your beautiful eyes close


You fall limp

Toward the ground

And I lay my arm across your back

Shattered

Broken

Hopeless

"Sasuke…"


Your eyes flash to mine

Black irises

Solid

Whole

Beautiful

Your face softens

Your bangs blowing into it

Vulnerable

Defenseless

"Sasuke…"


I feel safe

Protected

Cradled

Saved

You saved me

As I saved you

Maybe

I'm not hopeless after all

Maybe

Right…Sasuke?
