~Dedicated to that poor, helpless and neglected, blind, old man in Rurouni Kenshin. ^_~

Blind Pain and Envy:
Long years have passed,
Since I could no longer see.
I can no longer remember,
The most beautiful things of life.
These treasures are silent,
And old memories taunt me and my useless eyes.
The dance of light beams that filter through the forest roof.
The shimmer of the flowing river.
The jeweled gleam of the prideful stars.
The fair complexion of earthly flesh.
They all taunt me,
For I ignored all of these when I could see.
I was blind when I could see,
And I know see when I am blind.
I hear many that shrink away from me.
That woman of the man, who stole my earthly sight,
She fears me, for she fears blindness.
She fears my fanatical ritual.
My ritual of devouring the blood of flesh I cannot see.
The blood reminds me of what I cannot of have.
My rage. My envy. My curse.
My weapon…
Though I am weak,
Though I am not strong,
I swear that someday,
I shall have the head,
Of the smirking man,
Who heads my group.
I shall have the head,
Of that smirking man,
Who understands nothing.
Nothing of the darkness and despair, I live in.
All I have is sound,
And one angel's song, I hear at night.
Author's Note:
This was made spur of the moment, when I realized that there wasn't many fictions out there about poor Usui-san. [See, he's so neglected that I don't even know how to spell his name!] Review and comment please! I might do a fic on him, but I'd like to know how close you think I got to his inner character. Thank you for reading! [Now can you click that lonely 'Submit Review' button down there? *puppy eyes* ^_~] Ja ne!
