When my eyes open, I see nothing.
I was cast in this dark place, lost under the surface of the sea of nonexistence, by you.
When I look above me, I can see the iridescence of promise inviting me forward.
But thinking of you, I stay here.
I see the orbs of shimmering light dance from between my lips and escape for the superficial.
I yearn to follow them, but I cannot leave this place I was forced into
You pushed me into this hollow place
Filled with malice, despair, and obscurity
Where are you as the dusk covers what I used to be
And shapes me into what I am becoming
My shattered dreams lay broken below me
As I reminisce slowly over my providence
I begin to wonder… Am I forgotten?
I lay broken and alone in the twilight-colored regret
Of my love for you.
Will you ever return to salvage me from this abysmal place?
A shadow covers my heart as I reverie of you
And what we… could have been.
The darkness seems to be closing in as the agony evaporates leisurely
It would seem I have slipped away unnoticed in your cognizance
But what more could I have anticipated
From someone like you?
Suddenly I feel icy fingertips brush my skin
I hear a clear voice calling my name, the one I had nearly forgotten myself.
Sakura.
I recognize this voice. I will myself to remember its owner.
But all that comes is the cloudiness of confusion.
My eyes open slowly as I look to the surface.
I see you staring back at me.
I want to remember you now.
I do remember….
But I was left dying too long, drowning in your pool of deceit.
I close my eyes.
Because I am Sakura Haruno, and I believe in one thing, and one thing only.
I am incompetent.
Because of love, I am here.
Because of devotion, I was broken.
Because of you, I am dying.
Slowly….
