Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ ~Thinking~ a Genkai and Toguro poem ❯ Saddest Thing ( One-Shot )

Am I just a shadow? A remnant of what I used to be? A piece of my past? I can't be, can I? I only feel alone in my heart despite what all the others think. I'm usually serious and stone-faced to hide my own dissatisfaction. You think I'm such a fool, and that I don't know exactly what you've been saying, but you're wrong. What you think describes me is in fact quite contrary to what I am. My real self is waiting to be set free from all these impurities. Thinking back on things I wasn't a real fighter, in a sense. I ran and hid like a baby but you didn't. All I want you to know is that I'm so proud and I wanted you to know this, but you don't and that's the sad thing.

Why can't you tell me why? I know how you feel but I don't believe in the reason to torture yourself. You've been doing that to you and me, and in my heart I know and still don't accept that you have been happy as you say. You're a mystery, always being like this and then acting like that. Your quest for power took your life long ago. I thought we meant something, more than strength or fame. I'm sure if you were here you'd be next to me and you would probably lie straight to my face but I know. Your eyes they always hold the key to unlocking one of your many secrets that you try to conceal. You truly are a fool, you want to further sadden me and punish yourself. I just don't understand and that's the sad thing.
