"Life in the Dark"
The words he said,
Those words haunt me endlessly.
"I needed to verify your container, so you can test mine."
Why? There's so much darkness that the sun no longer exists.
"To gain these eyes you must kill your best friend."
The wind screams, pleading Sasuke not to follow a fiery path.
"The way you are, you're not worth killing."
But I always chase after my brother.
"Foolish, little brother.
If you want to kill me, then blame me.
Hate me.
Then live on in shame.
Run, run, cling desperately to life."
One day I'll be strong.
One day you'll run, run, run.
"Then come to me with these eyes."
His voice is everywhere.
My head welcomes black fog-
A peaceful slumber to escape the insanity.
Why does the darkness shrivel away?
White, holy light?
No longer a scene of death. Only a nightmare…
Eyes meet the scar he gave me.
No, I'm still a prisoner in this nightmare.
Whispers, "He was the only one spared, everyone else is dead."
This is a nightmare I'm forced to live.
Whispers, more whispers of my nightmare.
There is only pain and more pain.
You hold me captive in these murderous memories, Brother.
Lies, Lies, Lies!
Home is where I go.
Auntie! Uncle!
They lie! Everyone's a liar!
The picture fades and blurs away like memories do.
It's a mocking ghost town,
Not even the dead bodies keep him company.
Droplets fall sparingly, but increases to a downpour.
Happy memories flash turn painful.
I wish to forget, die.
Alone in the world, chasing after ghosts.
Memories of happiness, love, struggles for acknowledgement.
Memories of blood and so many bodies.
Tears fall, but no one sees.
I'm losing my sanity.
There's a bright sky with cloud hovering, obscuring the light.
Underneath there's a lake, a dock, a child.
Forget, forget everything,
Have it all blow away like the leaves and clouds.
There's only my reflection and I.
A rock is thrown, altering the reflection.
Staring back at me is my brother.
I will push through the darkness ahead to gain power.
The sun sets, closing its eye.
I feel eyes piercing at my back.
The dead last gazes at failure Uchiha Sasuke.
Glares are exchanged, a rivalry is born.
Yet, smiles form, both children live in darkness.
Maybe a friendship?
Maybe a sacrifice for his dark god?
The end
