Authors Note: I realize that, to others, Nakago is an all out evil man. He uses people, and his only motivation is for personal gain. But I can't help feeling sorry for him because of his suffering. If you had been through his personal horror, you would realize that he became what he is because of what happened to him. This poem probably won't do him justice either. Reviews are appreciated.
Disclaimer: I don't own Fushigi Yuugi or Nakago. That honor belongs to Yu Watase and other respective companies. :P

To Shed a Tear…
Steel and Blood go together like
Tears and pain.
I felt and I cried once before,
Once when I was innocent…
Why do some lead good lives?
They are loved and love back.
While others have only shed tears of grief.
Why does fate choose?
Why does it choose to torture others?
I hide my pain beneath a smile.
In fact, I do not feel anymore…
I am not afraid…
Of fate or anything else.
I look at the night sky,
And the moon, in its radiance
Shines down upon me.
The stars, they twinkle…
Such beauty deserves not to be
Shown to those who don't need it.
This world disgusts me,
For it has lost its magic.
And my damnation, I shall give
To this world,
Now the rain, as it pours,
Through my hair and my eyes,
Reminds me of those tears
I had once shed, long before…
