AN: It's been a while since I posted a poem, so I was like "Hey! You should go dig up one of your old poetry books!". So yeah xD This one isn't as old as some of the other ones though, only like a month or two. This one is a poem from Naruto to Sasuke after he left the village. So, here goes nothing'! Hope you enjoy!

DISCLAIMER! I DO NOT OWN NARUTO! HOWEVER, I DO OWN THIS POEM, SO PLEASE DON'T COPY!

Memories of times in the past,

Of happiness never meant to last.

Those tears gather quick

From the images in mind

And a part of me refuses to admit

Those tears are mine

I hope you're content

With your grand parade

Spouting words you never meant

Just to burn down all you made

I actually thought you a friend

Not someone to tear me down

And leave it to me to mend

The results of your empty sounds

I left myself open

To your ruthless attack

And one day

I hope you get it all back

You had me going for a while

Pretending to care

But like a treacherous snake

You had lured me into your lare

I hate the hope

That I had for so long

Only for it to be ripped away

And proven oh so wrong

I'm tired of your pretending

Like I don't exist

Because apparently our friendship is at its ending

And I won't be missed

I hope you understand

Exactly what your words meant

Because of the hour glass's ever ticking sand

It doesn't matter

Time goes on

Until the end

Until everything is gone

Until there's no one left to mend

What is left?

-Naruto Uzumaki
