Gaara's Lullaby

Twleve Years Ago

"Wretched child."

A baby lay in a cradel, crying out for his mother. No one ansewered to the baby's cries. They ignored it. The baby's cries only grew louder.

Quietly a blonde man walked in to the room. "You wretched child. You don't know it, but your mother can't ansewer to your cries. She's dead. You killed her." Yashamaru said to the red haired baby. "You killed her. My sister. You monster." He held out a kunai. "I should just kill you now." The baby contiued crying. Yashamaru held the kunai over the baby. He tried to stab the baby, but a shelid of sand protected the baby. "Damn it. The Shukaku protects your life so it won't die." He tossed the kunai away. He picked up the child.

"Maybe if I think of you as my sister's precious child, my hatred will die." The baby stopped crying and strted to laugh and play with Yashamru's long hair. Then Yashamru walked over to the window and started to sing a lullaby:

You lie silent there before me
your tears they mean nothing to me
the wind howling at the window
the love you never gave
I give to you

Really don't deserve it
but now there's nothing you can do
so sleep in your only memory of me
my dearest child

Here's a lullaby to close your eyes good-bye
it was always you that I despised
I don't feel enough for you to cry oh well
here's a lullaby to close your eyes good-bye
goodbye
goodbye

The baby started to fall asleep. Yashamaru kept singing.

So insignificant
sleeping dormant deep inside of me
are you hiding away lost
under the sewers
maybe flying high in the clouds
perhaps you're happy without me
so many seeds have been sown in the field
and who could sprout up so blessedly
if I had died
I would have never felt sad at all
you will not hear me say I'm sorry
where is the light
wonder if it's weeping somewhere

Here's a lullaby to close your eyes good-bye
it was always you that I despised
I don't feel enough for you to cry oh well
here's a lullaby to close your eyes good-bye

Here's a lullaby to close your eyes good-bye
it was always you that I despised
I don't feel enough for you to cry oh well
here's a lullaby to close your eyes good-bye
good-bye
good-bye
good-bye
good-bye

He walked back to the cradel.

Here's a lullaby to close your eyes good-bye
it was always you that I despised
I don't feel enough for you to cry oh well
here's a lullaby to close your eyes good-bye

Here's a lullaby to close your eyes good-bye
it was always you that I despised
I don't feel enough for you to cry oh well
here's a lullaby to close your eyes good-bye
good-bye
good-bye
good-bye
good-bye

Yashamaru lay the sleeping child in the cradel and walked to the door. "Hopefilly you will never awaken, and die like that." He opened the door. "Sweet Dreams...Baby Gaara.."

After those word left his lips, he closed the door, leaving Gaara alone in the darkness. He slept silently. His tiny hands were wrapped around a teddy bear.

He was completely unaware of what the future had in store for him, he was just an innocent child. A child of sand.

I'm not sure if I should contiue this. I might. I changed the lyric a bit. Instead of 'My dearest mother' it's 'My dearest child' . I also might change the name. R&R plz.
