Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ In the Flash of an Eye ❯ In the Flash of an Eye ( Chapter 1 )

In the flash of an eye

A battle cry

The sword swings

Yet no opponent

To practice

To be at peace

Why do you punish yourself so?

No being can take such torture

All this will make you powerful

But what is the cost

Those cuts on your arms

Others did not give

No one suspects

They would never guess

These marks are self-made

In loneliness

In sadness

In pain

In your tears

What is this you are finding

What would they do?

Do you want to know?

Those who care about you

You don't believe

Why should you?

Your life was worse than mine

Yet all this comes to me

You have said nothing

You are yet still training

You do not see me

As I see you

A silent watcher

That is what I am

What is this feeling?

Why do I write this?

You are like me

Yet so different

I made my promises

They keep me bound to this earth

Yet you

You have not

You could leave

But why don't you

What keeps you tied?

Why won't you leave?

You finally notice me

You know what I've written

You do not care

And I see

Why you have stayed

In your eyes

Emotions I'm afraid to see

Emotions I'm afraid to feel

Your arms are around me

Your breath on my lips

And you show me

Why you live

In hope that someday you'll know

What I'm afraid to know

You show me all

A magical kiss

Emotions that you've never known

Emotions I'm afraid of

All known in one everlasting kiss
