setting: sakura and sasuke are best friends. But sasuke's family was killed and he feels all alone. But sakura would help him...and show where his true friends lie...wow...that's a bad summary...but you get the point.

Where Your True Friends Lie

You are like paper,

So flawless and pure.

But,

When a single streak

Of hatred,

Of evil,

Of anything other than love or kindness,

Runs through you,

You are defiled,

You are useless.

No one wants you,

You are thrown out.

You are like a tree,

So sturdy and strong.

Many acknowledge you.

They admire you strength,

Your beauty.

But when you wilt and die,

They leave.

They forget your once strength,

They forget your once beauty,

And you are alone.

You are like snow,

So soft and white.

More admire you.

They stand in awe.

But your fame is short lived.

They step on you,

Forgetting what they first saw,

And they tread on you more.

But you're just a piece of paper?

Just a tree?

Just snow?

Right?

Wrong.

You are human.

You have emotions.

You feel hurt.

You cry.

You laugh.

You smile.

You frown.

You have anger.

You love.

But now that's all gone

Behind a mask.

A mask of no emotion.

No anger.

No sorrow.

And no happiness.

You are finally something you feared most.

You're inhuman.

Hiding your tears,

Your screams,

And laughs

Behind that mask.

You think no one cares.

You think no one knows.

You think you are all alone.

But I care.

I know,

And I fear.

I fear for you,

For your tears,

For anger,

For your joy,

For your LOVE,

To die out.

To be gone.

To be wiped out.

So I hold you.

I hug you.

I take off that mask.

I unveil you tears.

I unveil your anger.

I unveil your happiness.

I unveil you LOVE.

All through night,

I let you scream.

I let you cry.

And I feel tears of my own.

Tears of sorrow,

Tears of joy.

It is morning.

The soft light shines,

Greeting us for the day ahead.

We are still sitting on the ground.

Tears shed,

Screams heard,

Emotions out.

But where was it?

Where was happiness?

Where was joy?

Where you LOVE?

You get up and open the door.

You're about to leave.

I scream,

Tears falling.

Where were they?

Where was the love I needed?

Where was the joy I wanted?

Where was the happiness you needed?

You stop and turn.

A small,

Un-nurtured,

Un-practiced,

Smile is placed on your lips.

Soft, droopy, tire eyes,

Showing me happiness

And soft joy.

You walk towards.

Bends down,

Kisses me lightly

On the cheek.

Turns and fades

Into the rising sun.

A smile,

Soft and serene,

Creeping on my lips.

You're back.

You're happy.

You're sad.

You're angry.

You love.

You're finally back to what you used to be.

You are human.
