Once again, the title has been stolen from Yomi's character song, Sennen no Yami no Hate, End of a Thousand Years of Darkness.
Yuu Yuu Hakusho is not mine, Yomi is not mine, Shura is not mine. I will, however, get around to stealing Yomi's coat in the not-so-distant future. Eventually.
Blood slipping from empty eyes
Like the tears I could never have shed
I still remember the day
When you abandoned your disguise
-
The light of the world
And everything in it
Were taken in a moment
By a single slash of a sword
-
Fallen from grace
I laid there, face down
My blood tainting the earth red
-
My broken body pressed upon the ground
I waited, unmoving
Waiting for you to return
To save me from the dark
-
And yet…
You never came back
-
In the end I stood once more
And built an empire
Out of the torn wastes of a desert
-
A millennia has passed
Both of us have changed
From the people we once were
-
My fighting spirit was broken
Yours set aside
Both of us waiting
But never truly knowing for what
Until the day I called you to return
-
Our positions reversed
It seemed like it would stay that way
Until the day the darkness shattered
-
My warrior's pride once more rekindled
I fought
Not for a nation
Not for a leader
But for the self I had thought
Had disappeared into the shadows of passing time
-
Then, in the darkest hour
When hope seemed forever lost
The cry of a child calling for his father
Kept me on my feet
-
Feet that
In the end
Guided me into a new era
-
An era in which
Although blind
I can still see the rays of the sun
-
An era in which
Although weak
I believe I can become strong again
And that's all, folks! Thank you for reading all of this. Please leave a review for this poor writer. Feedback is the only pay she gets for this type of thing!
