Reflections

Disclaimer: No, I do not own Rurouni Kenshin. If you think I do, you might want a reality check.

A/N: Yes, I know this is horrible, and probably terribly inaccurate. Yes, I know that Kenshin's eyes are also amber, but that's beside the point! Actually, I just couldn't find something to rhyme with amber. Sad, huh?

I look into his misty violet eyes,

He smiles serenely, but at night

I hear his lonely, wailing cries

For when he could not see what was right.

He smiles at me, but I know

From the things he does not say

The hidden secrets he will not show

And the countless people he has slayed.

Sometimes, I wish he would tell me

Just a little more about himself,

But I know the present is the key

To learn what's hidden on the dusty shelf

I see a glimpse once in a while,

When violet turns to red

And the past comes back to light,

The glowing fire I thought was dead.
