My Promise

My arm in my sleeve

A scar over my eye

Yunalesca had killed me

And soon you'll know why

It was my blind rage,

And sadness, and hate

That led me to die

For it was my fate

The pain that I felt

Was not from the physical

Wounds that I suffered

More, it was emotional

I lost my friends

Through a huge white lie

And I think about it more

As each day goes by

And I think, "It's my fault."

"My fault that I was too young."

I thought this as the Hymn of the Fayth

Was mournfully sung

My death, though, was quick

Yunalesca was quite fast

And this is the story

Of my death from that past

Katana held high

Above my head, I yelled

At that demon, Yunalesca

And that hell in which she dwelled

Tears clouded my sight

And my fury had blinded me

It was my worst mistake

She killed me so swiftly

I lay there on the floor

My life's force fleeting

And that's when I died

With our horrific meeting

I don't know how but I managed

To crawl down Mount Gagazet

And it was then, that I, Auron

Began to regret

Regret becoming a guardian

Regret first being a monk

Though my head was held high

My heart sharply sunk

When I made it to the ground

Of that treacherous slope

My eye began to sparkle

With that faint glimmer of hope

Yes, I was dead

There was no denying that fact

And to my departed friends

I made a life-long pact

I promised to stop Sin

And Yunalesca too

And it was then, on that very day

I started another Journey anew

A/N - 9/3/02 - This poem was actually started when I was in school today. I was really getting bored and I couldn't think of any ideas to write about anyway. Then I heard one of my teachers say something about promising us some candy or no tests or SOMETHING…I forgot ~_~ but that's besides the point. I heard the word "promise", and the idea for this poem hit me so hard I almost flew up out of my desk. Seriously. Everyone was staring at me when my head flew up and I was sitting stock-still with my eyes wide open as if I saw a ghost. ::laughs:: In any case, this poem was the result. Hope you enjoyed it, because there's still more to come! ^_~
