Point of View is Sakura's after Sasuke leaves. Took me a while to work out the second-to-last stanza. Rhyming with "Naruto" sounds almost to childish in a poem of this nature, but I finally conceded (I just really wanted to get this thing here already; it's been 2 months since conception). It works, I think.


Sakura Poem

I tried to say I loved you
But the words got in the way
I tried to stop you leaving
But you left me anyway

I offered to go with you
But you left me in your dust
We offered you our friendship,
But you threw away our trust.

I never was the strongest
When it came down to us three
I thought, despite my weakness
You could still grow to love me

I know now I was foolish,
Thinking I could keep you here
You ignored my protests and
My words fell on deaf ears

And when the boys chased after you,
And you almost killed your friends
You couldn't have felt nothing
Tell me, is this how it ends?

I just won't accept the facts,
Sort of weird for me, I know
But I just can't stop hoping
And putting faith in Naruto

So now I'm training everyday
To make up for what I lacked
Even if it kills, I swear
That we will bring you back
