One in the Same

A warrior by heart,

A wanderer by soul.

Hatred from his past,

Hope from the present and future.

Forever they will be,

One in the same.

Once a manslayer, always a manslayer,

A wanderer until his dying breath.

Fighting for his loss,

Protecting the ones he loves.

Forever they will be,

One in the same.

A lonely soul given love,

A wanderer given friendship.

Falling in love, under his mask,

Falling in love, forgetting his past.

Forever they will be,

One in the same.

Amber eyes full of rage,

Violet eyes full of peace.

Helping to bring in the new era,

Doing what he can to protect it.

Forever will they be,

One in the same.

A wife killed,

A love taken away.

Killed by himself,

Whisked away in revenge.

Forever will they be,

One in the same.

Never will he change,

Always repenting for his past.

Always at a loss,

An empty space in his heart.

Forever will they be,

One in the same.

A/N: what did you think? Let me know! This came to me at a very random time yesterday (while I was getting ready to sleep) and I couldn't post it because my comp found a virus XP. That really stunk! This is the first anime poem I have ever written, and I'm quite proud of it. =)

If you couldn't tell, it went like this:
