I'm Not Dead.
My affliction sheathed my body corpse
just like the dimness throughout me.
My grief couldn't cease from my heart
as the tears burned my aquatic emerald eyes.
I gaze out to the wasteland. The sun smoldering on me.
I clasp the part of my chest where my heart would be,
"There is just one thing that can erase the wounds
of the heart. But unfortunately, it's a bothersome cure
for you can receive from another." My uncle's words
rang in my head. "Love." Nothing could end my tears now.
Except his face, my best friend's face.
I glimpse in my mind's eye his immersed, fierce sapphire eyes,
those eyes always reassured and calmed me any time.
But I'll never distinguish see those exquisite eyes again, maybe, but
only in death, for that is what he is.
"Gaara."
My body stiffened in comprehension by that voice.
I continue to gaze at the moon which had risen
over the horizon. But I see a phantom ahead
of me and exhale air from my lungs in distress.
Its transparent eyes stare at me in stillness
and started to loomed me, but I move back.
My eyes, still full of tears, shudder in the spectacle
of him and shut them gawking away. The storm
blew through my dark crimson locks out of my face.
I, now live for his dream, sympathy flows in my veins now.
My eyes exposed again and I see him now ahead of me.
His fox grin was like relief to my fractured heart.
His fingers stroke my pale face, my skin luminosity vividly
in the moonlight. The tears fell through his hand onto the rooftop.
I feel his hand and his translucent lips on mine.
His lips were humid and soothing. I slowly pull away,
My face became blistering from the passion.
His sapphire eyes gazes at me blissfully and smiled.
"I'm not dead Gaara. I'm not dead."
My eyes released rapidly. I sat up in my bed.
Icy sweat poured down my head gradually and I smear it away.
I scan around my room. Then glance at a photo near my bed.
He was smiling in the photo, but with his eyes shut
and his arm on my shoulders, but I was emotionless.
My quivering hand grasped the photo and I stare at it.
A tear slips down my face.
Only a dream, or was it?
Naruto.
