I don't own Rurouni Kenshin.
Thanks for the reviews! ^_________^:

This is all I'm writing for these poems, alright? ^_^; sooo, don't go asking for more on this -_-;;; I'll write more sometime and post them separately. Also, I plan on writing another poem for Your Nightmare Come True and Escape if anyone's interested. Please review! And if you read the first chapter and did not review, please go back and do so! People tend to judge fics/poems by the amount of reviews they have which is why I spend so much time typing and so much of my energy to persuade people to review.
The poem is the explanation in Kenshin's POV about why he left Kaoru, alright? ^_^
Enjoy!

I'll draw the years all passing by
So much to learn so much to try
And with this ring our lives will start
Swearing that we'll never part
I offer what you cannot buy
Devoted love until we die

The Ultimate Curse
Kenshin walks down the beaten path deep in thought. It's been nearly a year since he's left Kaoru-dono, and guilt became to consume him…
"Take care Kaoru-dono. I hope to see you again, that I do…"
The words echo in his mind, and he wonders why he had said that.
'I should've told her the truth…she deserved at least that…'
I had to leave that fateful day
For your sake, I could not stay
I did not tell you of the reason
For fear you'd think of it as treason
The Ishin-Shisi made me go
They told me that you couldn't know
In that note it clearly said
That if I told I'd find you dead
So my only choice was to flee
Not that you'd care for this rurouni
I saw the tears swell in your eyes
Did you love me? No…love lies
I've felt this way a time before
Too much pain, I want no more
Last time I shared my grand affection
I was pushed in the wrong direction
When Tomoe left, I changed for the worst
Never to love, the ultimate curse
Even if I told you of the love I feel
You'd love me in my dreams, but it'd never be real
So now it is I left here to cry
The assassin, and man slayer, Battosai
He continues to walk down the lane, eyes downcast and streaming with tears.
'If I go back with the Ishin-Shishi…I'll return to Hitokiri Battosai, the man of my past, the man with bloodstained hands…
No…
I can't…'
The words repeat themselves like a broken record…
'I can't…'
Kenshin stops midway in the path, looking up at the cloudy sky. Unsure of what to do, he simply stares at the rain clouds gathering overhead. Raindrops begin to fall, dampening his hair and mixing with his tears.
'Who am I? Rurouni Kenshin? Or Hitokiri Battosai? Surely I cannot be both…'
And these are his thoughts all the way to the location of the Ishin-Shishi...
What does he choose? No one knows exactly. All that's known is that the Ishin-Shishi were found dead that night. Some say that Hitokiri Battosai had returned, if only for that night. But alas, the truth is not known, especially not by Sanosuke, Yahiko, Megumi or any of the others. Most especially it is not known to Kaoru…Kaoru Himura…

Thank you for reading. That's all…I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do. Also, I'm not (yet) a very big RK fanatic, so forgive me if the Ishin-Shishi has been disbanded…or if Tomoe is dead…or if any information is wrong! Feel free to tell me so!
While you're at it, please review. I have more RK poems planned, but not if I don't have reviews as proof that people are actually reading them. Sadly, this site does not have a hit counter for each fic.
