AUTHOR'S NOTES: This is a poem about Kenshin and his feelings. Tell me what you think. I was thinking of writing a story based on it, but I'm too busy right now, so I guess I'll get to that in a month or two.
WHEN I HOPE
I have always killed
Blood has become my water
Flesh my ultimate goal
The blade my only companion
I have walked paths
Old and dusty
Blinding and new
Paths I have hated
And everytime I arrive
Everytime I cross them
Crimson is inevitable
Screams slice through the night
I detest who I am
I detest what I do
Most of all, my end
Because it was you
And now I pretend
I block the dreams
Even when they haunt me
I resist the urges
Even when they imprison me
I despise not you
But what I am
Because of you
A man who hopes
