Dan and Tsunade
I strain to keep awake
and see
Loving eyes gaze down
at me.
"The bleeding
stopped. You'll be fine."
But tears stained that
angel of mine.
The cool rain plunges
down on me
In patterns of rhyming
poetry
As your warm hands push
my chest.
Eyes are failing. Need
to rest.
In rain you're
calling my name in vain,
Choking with tears that
voice you strain,
"You'll be okay.
Your day's not today."
But slowly that voice
drifted away…
The rain still falls
upon your face.
I think to myself,
"What a disgrace.
I could not save you
from terrible death,
And now I'm filled
with tons of regret."
I scream. I cry. But
you have died.
I scream. I sob. The
others sighed.
"Tsunade-sama, Dan is
dead."
It all echoes in my
head.
Blood—your blood—is
all over,
I feel my life is also
over.
My screams shattered
the broken night.
My heart shattered with
utmost fright.
