You sing loo-li-lah-lay and I sleep merrily to the rhythm of your lullaby.

Dum-dee-dum,

I can hear the pounding soles of your fingers, dainty and running through my hair.

Dum-dee-dum,

These prison walls are harsh, sweet-love, whispering screams, and spilling purple secrets that drown my ears in sorrow. Secrets that might just kill me-kill mekillus(and without you, there is no me, without you, there is no-).

I'm innocent!

3190 days...why am I still here?

Let me die already!

They deserved it

They won't kill me, promise you will?

They're the enemies, not us!

Whoever reads this, kill yourself, while you still can...

They're written all over the stone, aching for freedom, the living dead,

I walk amongst them, star amongst the ashes(because they all burned long ago-their souls, these prisoners).

"Help me, help me!"

"Stay here!"

"You can't escape!"

"Guards! Guards!"

It's cold in here-without you(your warmth).

Fingers prickle through the cold, metal bars, attempting to catch me(-before I fall). Too bad for them, huh...

"You'll come back boy, they all do…"

Scarlet runs lavishly across my skin, there's an iron taste in my mouth. I suppose the stars are aligning, what with the gravel on my back and the light that pours through the gaping hole of the building. Someone thanks me.

"So that's what the sun looks like, huh?"

"It burns, it burns, hurry up and close it!"

"Guards!"

I reach out with my hand, let the hot, golden rays kiss my arms fiercely, the way I'd hold you and never let go.

"Freeze!"

Ahhh-do you see my dear? They don't understand. But you do-always did.

SNAP!

"Ah!"

"Monster!"

Don't worry, I'll be there soon, so you can be my Hinata again

Hey, so I was pretty damn worried my story was awful. Given the number of views but no favorites/follows or comments, I felt atrocious (despite my peers liking this in person, self-doubt is a BITCH!). Still, someone favored it and it made a difference. Iv'e thought multiple times of making this into a short piece/or a full-blown story and well, now I am(it's a short). Sadly, I fear this chapter is no where near as good in writing as the previous that was cherished so dearly by everyone. It's been about a year since I wrote the first one, so my writing could be different for the worse. But well-I could be wrong. So what's your opinion? It would seriously help. And If you haven't figured it out, Sasuke just broke out of prison. This boys been through a lot. I decided, why make him do time when he honestly just deserves a break?! On his way to look for his sweet love! Beginning was inspired by Sleepsong from the secret garden album. Highly recommend, great "lullaby." I imagine Hinata singing this to him while Sasuke's just resting his head on her lap under the shade of a tree, perhaps in a gentler voice, however. She just has such a soothing voice. Any comments/insults/critiques would be much appreciated! Farewell for now my beautiful darlings! (ps:is there anyway to do strike-through on here? I've seen it in other stories but can't find it on here and well-it would REALLY be HELPFUL otherwise. P.M. if you know, thx.)
