Shades of Gray

By Darkness Arts

Notes: This is just introspective, and about Hige. I rewatched the episode where he goes a bit umm...insane in the city, and thought this out. And because it is a poem - and note that poems are NOT my forte!- feedback, and reviews would be appreciated!

-Dedicated to Chaos of Hearts for her brilliant poetry-

There's several shades of gray, that I don't want to fight

But forever I evade them, concealed by the night

Refusing human touch, I am spared from the pain

Yet these several shades of gray, I continue to face

There's a silence that's too harsh, and it scares me to death

As I continue running, struggling for my every breath

I am lulled to sleep, by my many tortured screams

Yet these several shades of gray, haunt even my dreams

There's that sinking horror, that I've really gone insane

That these fighting hours of mine, are completely in vain

The dull, bland terror of the gray, continues to hurt me still

Yet I still stare unblinkingly, as my hands shake from the kill

There's my resolve to live, washing down the drain

As I slowly begin to accept, these negative pigments that remain

And in the corner I will sit, as my countless sins drag me down

Yet here I am still hiding, as the grays finally surround

The End
