This is yet another poem of mine in Hiei's point of view. He reflects on what his life really is: a life of living in the shadows. I hope you enjoy it! Please review!
Dedicated to "ChiEfSqUaTtiNgQuAiL," one of my very good friends, who's always there for me. Thanks so much!
.....................
I dwell in the shadows,
Alone and silent,
No sound piercing the still air,
No one here to give comfort.
I lie in the darkness,
Afraid and unwanted,
The feeling of loneliness enveloping me,
The feeling of fear consuming me.
I breathe the dry air,
My breath not even a whisper.
My eyes are open, burning with red blood,
But they stare unseeing into the blackness.
This is my home.
The darkness holds me tightly,
Its grip stronger with each passing second.
The painful memories of my past flood back,
They haunt me until I can take no more,
But it goes on.
The shadows lock me away, and this is my home,
Until the sun rises up.
Then I am free.
But soon night again falls,
And I dwell in the shadows once more.
