A/N: This is a tribute to Itachi, in commemoration (and in memory of) since his birthday is June 9 (if I understood correctly).
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, because obviously Itachi's dead and was framed for a crime that he simply followed his ninja orders to, subsequently becoming a scapegoat.
Frozen Fire
-
Through Night Lady's reign and winter's breath
A shadow softly passes
To flee Fire's domain and evade death
Where no one dare trespasses
-
Unfallen tears and hardened hearts
The icy chills encompass all
Unmentioned fears were ripped apart
Forsaken soul then took the fall
-
So slowly stills the weasel's claw
For freezing summer's fire
Till sparks of dawn ignite the thaw
And end this state of ire
-
Forsaken fallen angel
Collapsed, with bleeding wings
Forgotten martyr of the damned
Silent scapegoat of the kings
-
[He was born to be one
yet he forsook his throne…]
-
Immortal sins and memories
Stain his once-pure soul
Bittersweet wins and tragedies
Beg death to take his toll
-
Fear's icy vines will grow inside
The despair of the heart
To pierce and bleed and gorge and feed
Until the good is ripped apart
-
So he will stay the weasel's scythe,
Stained with blood he can't condone
He prays to end his life, his strife-
To finally atone
A/N: I apologize if that felt a little disjointed. It feels a little like that to me, too, though it felt like I was writing a song.... I feel like writing more, so maybe I'll post more later, or repost if I feel like it. I wanted to get this up in memory of him, so here it is.
Please leave feedback! I love hearing from you. :)
Also, that one stanza is italicized because as I was writing I felt that it should be that way for some reason. *shrugs* It is mine; I assure that I didn't take it from anyone else and that's the reason it's italicized. Same goes for the couplet in brackets.
To Itachi! *clinks wineglass in toast*
