A/N: This is a song I wrote in study hall. It's more or less from Itachi's POV.

Shiva: Returning to your roots, then? Poems and songs?

CA: Not really, sadly enough; I'm in the middle of several stories that I must finish, both
published and not.

Shiva: Ah, I see.

CA: I might use this song for my Itachi shrine, should I ever start it... -6

Shiva: Well, don't make 'em wait 'til then, or they'll never get to see it!

CA: I s'pose you're right... as usual... well, here's Itachi's song.

"WICKED PRAYER"

I can feel it...
So warm...
Still pulsing...
Still beating...
Still living...
Still breathing....

You said
You couldn't understand me
You said
You couldn't know what I know
And you said
That even a blind man could see
And I said
Then I see that I must go

And so I leave you
And so I desert you
And so I go as far away--
As I can--
With my wicked prayer
My wicked prayer

You breathed
You left me all alone
You breathed

And you breathed
Silent cries echoing home
And I breathed

And so I leave you
And so I desert you
And so I go as far away--
As I can--
With my wicked prayer
My wicked prayer
Wicked prayer

So I left you
So I deserted you
So I went as far away--
As I could--
Desecrating everything
With my wicked prayer
My wicked prayer
Desecrating everything
With my....

CA: I'm not saying it's the best I've ever written, but it's pretty good, considering I
mentally wrote most of it before putting it to paper in less than fifteen minutes.

Shiva: Not bad, methinks.

CA: You think? Wow. I'm impressed.

Shiva: Oh shaddup. ¬¬6

CA: J/K Shiv, sheesh. Well, ya'll know the drill, reviews please! -
