Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto (facts of life are sooo hard to accept!) I don't make a profit and I'm permenantly broke (again with the bleeding facts of life! Aargh!). Um. Oh, yeah! Please, don't sue me!

(A/N): Spoilerish!!! You won't get any real details because I'm a vague motherfricker….you probably won't understand it if you're not up to date with the manga…probably won't understand it even if you are….hmm. Oh well, for those brave enough to read on – enjoy!


A Sin to Sleep

The Jinchuuriki within me screams:

" Give it back to me!"

Demon harboured for so long –

Born one with insanity

And

Companionable chewing

Gnawing at my mortality

And

Now

I am bare…

I cannot protect

My Sunagakare

My precious particles

Particulars who actually

Finally

Genuinely

Care.

My Hidden Heart of Sand Crumbles

And I feel as if I need

The Beast.

My glare is thirsty as I watch the sheets

I know it is a sin to sleep.

But

It is a feast of pale white in half-darkness

Strange

to hear nothing as soft touch is sinking…

soft….

Plush

Silence no fear of disappearing

And

Moonlight whispers languorous

Against curtains that

Breathe

...in…...out…...in…...out…

Sweetly treacherous

I can feel it creeping

Innocent

Unseeming

I am loathe to confess my seductress is soothing but

...I'm….

...falling…...

...into...

……...Something……...
