A Hitokiri's Fate


---------------


I was fighting for a life
With no pain or sorrow
A war to end all wars
To stop the bloodshed
But all I did was make more violence
So much that it rained blood

The days were painful
And nights were sleepless
Until she came

She soothed my soul
She cleansed it of hatred
She showed me happiness

The joy of helping people
Instead of killing them
Was a better thing
because of her

Because of her
I could sleep at night
With a slumber of blissful dreams
Instead of dreamless nightmares

Our life was perfect
Living in Outsu
As the healers

But now she's gone
because of my carelessness

I told her in the blood shot snow
as she died
I told her I would never kill again
because the one person I love
Is now gone

Now, the rumors are true
about the cold blooded killer,
Hitokiri Battousai
Who kills regardless of who is being killed

A life of sadness,
A life of cold

The war I fought
Was for happiness
But the happiness I had
After the war was over
If now gone because of that war

That is why I do not kill,
because violence is not the answer
Violence can only cause more sorrow

This was my first Kenshin poem *sighs* b_bx
