Let's Smile Again

My soul is caged within this shattered body

Tightly bound by the chains of darkness

I struggle from this ocean of nothingness

For the hope that shone brightly above the surface

But it's too far for me to reach

The light is too dim to guide me.

My lungs suffocated from this loneliness

My eyes are blinded by anger

My ears are deafened by lies

My body is numbed from this burden

My heart is dying from the pain and guilt

What had cause me…

To break like this?

Everything started after he left

For the sake of a vengeance

It started after she cried in front of me

Asking for my help

It started with… what?

Oh… now I remember

Everything started with a promise.

I wish for a bond…

I wish for a family…

I wish for an existence…

I wish for… a life

I thought this promise could give me a chance

But now… I regret to ever made that promise

After achieving his vengeance

He returned back to the village

Along with his new comrades

And announced Konoha's destruction

Everyone fought hard for the village

As always, I held back

Because I promised her…

I will bring him back.

Nothing went as I expected…

I fought long and hard with him…

Then I saw an opening

I aim for it to end this foolish war

And dropped my guard to the ground…

A blow hit me hard from the back

I managed to jumped to the side

And faced my attacker.

There, she stood with a fury glare

I felt like my tongue had been ripped off

Both of them, he and she, laughed.

The wind blew more confusion

Only then I understand…

Realization hit me the hardest that day.

He came back only to destroy

What that destroyed his past

And she will do anything to be by his side

Even to betray the village…

I looked around the bloodied scenery

Disbelieve, shock, and broken…

It clearly showed on everyone's face

Mostly, they are tired of betrayals

Many died because of this.

That's when I lost it

I lost all of my senses and my sanity

The voice rang inside my head…

The demon laughed and said to me;

'I am the only one you could trust…'

And so… I did.

Now here I am as I stand on the ruined mountain

In front of me was once the strongest village of five nations…

Now, only left remains of crumbled buildings, blazes of fire

Thousands of corpse and rotten smell of humans' fleshes

I laughed as I started to remember…

The memories everyone shared together

I laughed as I remember how everyone used to smile happily…

But somehow, my tears fell by themselves…

Never showing the sign to stop.

I laughed as I cried…

I am happy as I am broken…

I am happy that we are all together once more…

I am broken… that we are not smiling again…

Why isn't anyone smiling?

Aren't they happy we're together again?

I ask myself over and over again

We're together now…

Why does everyone crying?
