Alone
*~*~*~*

Her mother died when she was young
Her father strick and cruel
Wooden swords and leaving students
That was all she knew

Soon her father was called to war
Leaving her behind
Reaching out her hand and crying
He slowly disappeared

Her hopes of him returning
Were shattered that afternoon
When a man came to tell her
Her father had died that after noon

No one could ease the pain she held
Deep inside her heart
Finally returning to her families dojo
She collapsed on her futon

And later in the 10th year of meji
A certain red head appeared
And he was able to heal the pain
She held deep inside her heart

And slowly as the years passed by
She realized she wasn't alone
Like she once had been
So long ago
