Disclaimer ~ I do not own Rurouni Kenshin, specifically the rurouni. Also, I do not own the song 'Behind Blue Eyes' which I got the title from.

A/N ~ I was listening to the song 'Behind Blue Eyes' when I was being really stupid, and this kind of came out. I hope you like it. I put my own feelings, plus what he's said in the series.

Behind Violet Eyes

By Tsunami

Behind violet eyes,

Complication arises from him.

More than his emotions can support.

Anger and depression leap about.

Behind violet eyes,

He's holding on to his last rope.

His mind is twitching with pain.

This pain turns to anger.

Behind violet eyes,

Frowns turn to smiles,

Screams turn to laughs,

Sword to comfort.

Behind violet eyes,

The world is different;

Truth is untruthed,

Curses are blessings...

Behind violet eyes,

All his right is wrong,

Every good is bad,

His native tongue is foreign.

Behind violet eyes,

Repention is the only right he has.

Death is nothing more than cowardness.

To him, this is one of many truths.

Behind violet eyes,

All are right.

Evil in itself is goodness.

His eyes are amber...
