Okay first off I would like to say that I'm not responsible for literary works, which originated from Spanish, Geometry, and/or Study hall. Those classes bring out the worst in people and have led me to write poetry, yes you heard me, poetry. Poetry is good as long as it isn't mine. This is part two of a trilogy of poems I wrote to explore Kenshin's character.

Disclaimer: I do not own Rurouni Kenshin; it belongs to Sony, Nobuhiro Watsuki, and whoever else owns it.

Songs of Life Trilogy: Battousai's Song

One day my world stopped turning

In a forest covered in snow

My blade stole my happiness

With one fatal blow

She died in my arms that day

She apologized for leaving

But she had one last gift to give

An everlasting mark

I swore when the chaos subsided

As my offering to her

My sword would shed no more blood

So I left my sword lying there

In the bloodstained ground

The Battousai faded away

As the Rurouni was born

Okay that was bad. On to number 3!
