Through the Window

by toraffles

Finally, I see a face. I see your face. I wait, but I see no grimace, and hear no yell. I see only your beautiful smile. Thank you... thank you. GaaSaku, sort of.

Through the Window

Whenever I see

a face

though the window,

I stand up

in hope

but I know,

that I will be caged

again the next day.

A sympathetic smile

turns into a disgusted grimace.

I should be used to

seeing this

through the window

by now

but I am not.

Beast!

They scream.

Monster!

They shriek.

I watch as the mocking

faces of the children

sneer at me

through the window.

I am no beast,

I whisper.

I am no monster,

I whimper.

But maybe...

a voice in the dark

tells me,

Maybe, you are…

I look

through the window

but I cannot see

the face behind the voice.

No one will save me

I know,

but I still hope.

Though perhaps,

I am too far over

the precipice

to save?

Every day,

for what seems

like eternity,

I endure the

faces and the

voices

that come

through the window.

I endure as

even the rats scurry away.

I cannot help it

but oh,

how I despise

looking

through that window!

Finally,

finally,

I see a face.

I see your face.

You are looking

at me

through the window.

I wait.

And wait.

But I see no grimace,

and hear no yell,

through the window.

I wait for you to

recoil,

to back away from

me as those more

powerful than

you

have done before,

but no,

I only see

your beautiful smile

through the window.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You have taken me

past the window,

beyond the window,

and I no longer need

to hate what I

see

through the window.

I wrote this thinking of Gaara and Sakura. Just thought I'd post it up on here. ^^

In case you CAN'T tell, this is in Gaara's point of view and Sakura's his savior.

I'm not sure what I was think when I wrote but this might be the start of a new story. If anyone thinks it should, (two or more people plz! :) please tell me, because I have no desire to make it into a story at the moment.
