HATRED
*~*~*~*~*

Hatred
Sadness
Wonder

What he felt?
He felt hatred the most
Anger filled his heart
As he placed her on the floor

Saying good-bye
He lit a match
And left the burning home

His wife had died to save him
The only one he loved
Had died because of a sword
But she died for him

He swore to get revenge
He swore to keep his promise
He swore to his wife Tomoe
That he would never forget her

Yet as he killed and burned
Nothing could stop his wondering
Why?
Why had she died for him

He murdered her first husband
He was a murderer
So why had she died to save him?
When so many others wouldn't

As the revolution ended
He disappeared into the night
Leaving behind a legend
Of the great Hitokiri Battousai
