Disclaimer: Don't own Rurouni Kenshin... But I do own this poem...
Author's Note: Sorry I haven't updated in a while and Thanks Sakura Butterfly for the review... and the theme of the last poem was unseen fear... This current poem is another story... Hope you all enjoy!
Swimming in a sea of deceit
Falling into a void so dark
Feeling these souls I see
My blood slowly stopping with ease
The sword finally cracks
Lost in delusion, all an illusion
Keeping me breathing in tranquility
Only to choke me when I sleep
The fires begin to quench my skin
Burning ever brightly, charring me so quickly
Smoke fills my lungs... leaving me breathless
As my heart sits in unrest... forever yearning for something more
Aches begin to consume my chest
As a silent tear slowly slides down my cheek
Quiet mourning for one long lost
Pain leaves me staggering... leaving me to reach for the walls
Never to rest until my day's end
Never to feel the freedom from those souls I've killed
Never to catch the scent of white plum ever again
Always in loneliness...
