A/N: This is a reallylong poem, or longer than most. If you are a deep person and a die-hard Kenshin fan then you'll love this. All righty then, Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I will never ever, ever, ever, ever own Kenshin and all that is Kenshinness, so there.
Tomoe's Last Thoughts
I found you confused
Lost and afraid you were
With a mask of pure hatred
Covering your true self
You say you took lives
To better the world
Rid it of all the evil it had become
I don't think you knew
What you were really doing
Taking lives and killing innocent people
That is not something to be taken lightly
You seemed to do it quickly
Not thinking of the pain you caused
Maybe deep down you knew
The horrible things you were doing
So I tried to show you
A better life without death
That you could help without your sword
In time you opened up to me
Showed me who you really were
Just a child trying to make things right
Do more than he possibly could
You really didn't understand
Why the world was so horrible
That is why you did what you did
You mastered the fine art of killing
You were agile, silent but deadly
The sword you carried was your tool
You didn't realize that you were also the tool
A tool being used recklessly
They took your childhood from you
Made you the demon you had become
It pains me to think of the life you could have had
Without death and suffering
So when I tried to save you and be your sheath
I caused you more pain
Destroyed what happiness you had left
To avenge my first love
Stop the pain on the side of your face
Make you remember the life we shared
I scared your gorgeous features again
Reminding you killing isn't the only way
Your good intentions were turned evil
So turn your life around once more
Take a new path
Don't grieve over me
I chose death to save you
I knew you still had a chance
To do what you wanted from the beginning
To save people and let them live their lives
Unlike me whose time had run out
So don't let my final actions go to waste
Use the rest of your life to right the wrongs
Keep helping those around you
Just please my love, don't kill
You don't need that pain and sorrow
Upon your soul any longer
When you at last achieve
What you started so long ago
Then you will finally be free
A/N: I intended to do a Tomoe POV for a long time. Ever since I did that longer Kaoru POV. Now don't flame me because this was long, I warned you. Now THIS was what Tomoe was thinking before she died, she just didn't have enough time to say it! Don't you agree? So, let me know what you think. Yes, it was free verse and pretty serious so if you have critique I will accept it BUT no flames please and thank you.
