a note from the desk of ethereal damsel
This is a poem about Sasuke before he leaves Konoha. It was written to go along with my story Catalyst (a SasuOC fic) but it can be SasuHina, SasuSaku, whatever Sasuke het pairing you like. That said, read and review, please. :3
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.
It is a treacherous art
to pluck a maiden's heartstrings
and play a morose serenade
until she does not know her heart's own wish.
Unto that maiden alone did you confide
your broken words that flowed forth
as blood from an inward wound.
In all your selfishness,
did you not conceive that
perhaps her grievances fully mirrored your own?
Quite possibly you were too distracted
by the quickened beating of your own heart.
For glacial and arrogant as you are,
you too are defenseless against that cursed sensation
which mankind calls love.
But you have ever lusted for the retribution
your inadequacy has so longed denied you.
Why do you entreat the shadows to close you round?
For you know, in the end,
you will be naught more than a hollow shell,
twisted by anguish
and finding no joy in the prospect of living.
Is your path already laid before you, or is it hidden from you?
Your love for her is a wall that divides your heart.
