She kept by your side throughout it all
And you didn't care
She watched you leave, watched you fall
Even then, you were descending into despair
She held your hand as you faded
Branded with what would be your destruction
She fought for you when you were jaded
How far have you fallen?
Never did you guess your absence would let her live
Strength came while you were gone
You think your leaving was all you could give
Anything to banish her tears of wan
Now she does everything in her power to end your life
What happened to the innocence?
Revealing her hidden strength throughout the continuing strife
Showing the world her newfound resilience
And you find yourself wishing you could've seen her bloom
Though still not regretting your decision
Although you know the end will arrive soon
Craving emptiness with starving passion
She travels gracefully through the trees
As you watch from a distance
You wonder what she thinks, what she sees
Visualizing with the power of her essence
And when her gaze locks with yours, you finally realize
You thought her eyes would be clear, soft, vivid
She grew strong to bring about your demise
Instead her being has turned stormy, fierce, livid
So you call, "You're going to regret meeting me here, Sakura," and wish she never came
You never wanted it to come to this
She growls, "I traveled here for a reason, Sasuke," and her eyes resemble an uncontrolled flame
Eyes you will forever miss
"May that reason be worth it," you sigh, as your hands fold into familiar signs
Signs that have killed more than can be counted
"I hope it will be," she replies softly, and her palms turn green as they shine
When did she learn to never be daunted?
You rush at her in a blur, every post move deliberate and precise
You are too skilled to do so otherwise
But you wonder why you feel as if your heart has turned to ice
And above, night watches the moon rise
When she collapses on top of you, you feel her blood spill across your chest
You slowly close your eyes
This is something you do not detest
Inside, you reach for the skies
Because as you die with her, the pain and loneliness finally leave
You feel her kunai lodged in your heart
Now peace is something in which you can believe
And you know this was destined right from the start
A/N: This was just a random idea I had. Sorry if it resembles my other story, "One Life for Another," too much...even if this is written in poetic form and that one isn't...
Well, please review! It would make me very happy if you did! :D
