Midnight Musings

Alone. Why am I always alone?

Temari doesn't understand. She tries so hard.

I don't blame her for giving up.

Kankuro jokes around. Makes light of situations

He doesn't comprehend.

Is it my fate to be

Misunderstood?

Is it pointless to fight?

Am I nothing but a monster

Could I ever by anything more?

No-one understands.

Everywhere I turn I see their faces.

Faces of hatred, misconceptions.

Maybe if they knew the truth?

Shukkaku is gone forever,

And now I am alone.

They don't understand what it means to be completely

Alone.

Shukkaku used to be the only one

To stay by my side through thick and thin.

He had to, I hated him.

And now he's gone, and I'm alone

Kazekage but untrusted.

The only one to understand.

The only one to care. Naruto.

We match, at least we used to,

Jinchiiriki at heart.

Naurto, my only friend.

I miss you, I need your guidance.

I love and cannot act.

How do I control these emotions,

How can I change my fate?

You are the light shining in the darkness.

You are the only one who can save me.

Maybe not.

Sakura.

I cant describe my feelings

And I wouldn't if I could.

A last rejection, of all that I am,

Of all I can be,

It would kill me.

Sakura, you help me. Your touches are warm

And you are not afraid.

Is there any chance? Or am I monster?

Could you ever love my blood stained hands

My dark and tortured soul

Would I stand a chance against him?

I am no deserter and would stick with you till the end,

But still,

I am a murder. I am a monster.

How could I stand a chance?

SAKURA
