In the Shadows

I hide in the Shadows

Alone and cold.

What I loved is gone,

What I cherished is dead.

I live in the shadows,

Dead, but alive.

I hide from the light,

Shrinking back as it nears me,

Screaming as it touches me.

A figure in the light,

A hand is offered.

I think:

“Am I really up to this?

Can I live again?”

Slowly,

Painstakingly slowly,

I accept the hand,

Allow myself to live again.

I'm out of the shadows,

I'm in the light,

I live my life,

Like you never left.

-Sassori-dono

Empty

I have no heart,

I have no soul,

I'm dead inside,

Emotionless puppet.

Glazed over eyes,

I don't exist,

So please,

Don't cry.

-Sassori-dono

What can I do?

In the shadows it lurks,

Calling out my name.

I try to run away,

I never get that far.

I scream and cry,

Just like you,

But no matter how hard I try,

I'm caught in the middle,

Torn in two,

Who do I save,

Me… or you?

-Sassori-dono

Fallen

I broke the rules,

I fell in love with you.

Because of this,

I've fallen from grace.

I'm a fallen angel,

Broken wings of white,

Broken soul of pure,

All that is whole,

Is my heart that beats for you.

-Sassori-dono

How?

How can I cry,

When I have no tears?

How can I fly,

If I have no wings?

How can I dream.

When I'm afraid to close my eyes?

How can I speak,

When all I can do is scream?

How can I hope,

When there's no freedom?

Tell me,

How can I live,

When I'm doomed to die?

-Sassori-dono

Untitled

I want nothing to do,

With someone like you.

You broke my heart,

You tore it apart,

You left me to pick up the pieces.

Now here I lay,

And here I cry,

Left broken and unwanted.

-Sassori-dono

Hou Kitsune

Hair as red as fire,

Skin as pale as porcelain.

Eyes, sharp and wise beyond one's years,

Gold in color,

Liquid state,

Warm as a summer's day.

Sly as a fox,

Sweet as sugar,

Strength lies within,

Pushed to hide.

Past of blood,

Present of danger,

Future… Unknown.

-Sassori-dono
