Disclaimer: Forgot to write this last time so, ahem, I do not own Rurouni Kenshin.

AN: Big thanks to my one reviewer omasuoniwabanshi, I'm very honoured then that you decided to take the time to read my poem and I'm glad you like the imagery in it, I worked very hard to get my wording right.

-------------------------------------

Two lines that cross

leading each to

a distant future.

Speak not of love

the reflecting word

designed to ensnare.

Fire of life

blown out.

Break heart of pain

as the pure white falls.

No end shall come

to the death wisher's

life, still strong

within the empty shell.

Time that slowly passes

dragging him within

its cold wake.

Mark of a past

that shall never fade.
