I should have known
by the tone in your voice
there was something
you did not let me see
I should have known
by your blocked emotions
for you, happiness
was never meant to be
I should have known
by your horrible actions
there was something
behind them all
I should have known
by the strength of your heart
though tormented by memories
you would still be standing tall
A/N: This was actually one of the first poems I ever wrote. I wrote it because I wanted to do something for the Nakago fan club. Since I can't draw and also didn't have much confidence in my skills (or lack of skills?) as a fanfic writer at the time, the only thing I could think of doing was writing a poem. And - here it is!
