Anguish
©10/14/10
He is leaving me,
Again. Sorrowful eyes say
What tight lips cannot.
The wife glares at me…
Her pale eyes brim with hatred.
My own glare falters.
I'm left with nothing
As an emotionless door
Slams with harsh censure.
Limpid, blue eyes are
Downturned, dark, refusing
To look back again.
The still warm sheets
Mock me, while I struggle still
In ecstasy's throws.
My agonized scream
Is trapped, clawing at closed lips.
Silence is too loud.
I need something loud:
Noise, grating cacophony!
Anything to drown out
Silence… the pin drop,
Hear your pulse beat in your ears,
Steal your sanity
Silence. Without thought
Or breathing, why must one breathe?
I can't seem to breathe.
Realization
Breaks into my lungs. I scream,
Collapse, ragged moans
Escape from iron jaws,
Hot tears dampen cooling sheets,
I'm left with nothing.

Alright! New piece is up... this poem is a haiku series.
Haiku poems are very difficult because they aren't supposed to be written like a standard poem (where the whole thing streams together); rather, a haiku poem is supposed to be several independent images which string together in order to form a collage of images. They tell a story very much like a collection of snapshots. Not only that, but each haiku is only allowed to have three lines following a 5,7,5 metrical rhythm. Needless to say it's a challenge to write. I figured it would be very nice for Sasuke's reaction to what has taken place.
As a first, I want to give a big shout-out to Galbert-kun, who has has been a major supporter of this project! I would also like to thank mochiusagi. I probably wouldn't be updating it nearly this much if not for them.
I've already written Naruto's piece which will follow this one, so I will be posting it sometime this weekend. If you love me, you'll review! Nough said.
If you REALLY love me, you'll go and review Naruto: Kurashio as well. :P
As always, love you all and thanks for reading!
