Disclaimer: I don't own Rurouni Kenshin.
Authors Note: This poem is my original work I made four months ago. Just to
be honest... I wrote this after a friend moved away... a lot of emotion... and it
reflects upon the thoughts of Battosai during the beginning of his rurouni
days ... enjoy!
Losing control
The emptiness inside
Devouring my mind
Troubling my soul
The loneliness overwhelming
I feel myself dying
Parts of myself lost forever in the shadows of time
Lost memories as old as time
In the land of the dead those memories are placed
Twisted and meld into the perfect nightmare
That haunts my mind and shatters my pride
I fall into eternal doubt
The suppressed anger too much to bear
All exploding into my being
Crushing my dreams
Sanity; crazed by the misery of the fallen
Why do I burn for eternity?
Why am I to face this much sorrow?
Am I not a human by birth?
Why will I be judged by the past?
The blood pulsates throughout my veins
That blood has been spilled as of late
Spilled in the meaningless conflicts of everyday life
I sit drowning
My emotion disappears
Vanishing in my actions
I lay blood soaked for all to see
Am I to live hated among the others?
The celestial spirits of young and old
The dead and not yet born
Encase me in my prison
My prison for eternity
Taking the form of a reversed bladed sword
