This pain that was carved into my head
Constantly reminding me of who I really am
Must I be hated in such a way
Out of which my own father would try to kill me

I am but who he made me
A weapon that was supposed to bring my village luck, hope
Neverending dreams and promises
That won't last
And they know

I run, try to hide my true face,
I feel the dark with every beat of my racing heart
Get an inch closer until it consumes me all
And so I give in
To this pain I carved into me head

Love

Ai...

Love

Such a thing does not exist
Smiles are all fake
Everyone suffers from something
And I suffer from the thing that I am

I chose this path I did
To prove I am worth living
And I enjoy when I smother them
And bathe my greed in their blood

They are strangers
I should keep away
They'll call me monster, freak
I am afraid

I don't show
Behind these emotionless sea green eyes
My hair dyed red in blood
Shuffled by the wind driven sand

And of age fifteen I came to be
Learning that I don't need to love to care
The blonde me taught me that
And to him I owe my life

The same village that tried to burn me
I now protect
Is this worth it
Is it correct

I want to cower and hide
I am not afraid of the darkness
I am famous among the shadows
That I created
That which I am

I met my match one fateless day
Where I fell limp in his arm
I stole the other one away
Its blood satisfied me for a second
Before my life went BOOM

And that blonde now risked his life
To come and help and save me
He did, he managed
He is the part of me that I locked into my heart

I open my eyes and see her dead
The women that carved pain into my head
I see him sitting next to my brother
Muttering how girls don't like him

My sister on the other hand
is trying to keep my fan girls away
And everyone one else, is crying

"He is alive"

Maybe love does exist
What was I really from
Was I only afraid to face myself
Or to face them

And I look up at the sky
The rain begins to fall
God is crying with me
He feels for what I felt

I get up with his help
Pretending not to take note of his smile
And his words that set me free
Of my pain driven prison

"Daijoubu ka??"

My sister chases him away
He is below me in status
And so the blonde mumbles something
Women can be so troublesome

And I cannot refuse to laugh
It is a funny sight
My first laugh in fifteen years
and he was the one that helped me crack it

But the laughter soon dies down
And the girly moans to try to hug me drown
In the distance I see a girl
Blonde, and purple, only things I can make out

I want to find that second soul
The one that fits mine
Like purple and blue
So are red and yellow

I close my eyes again
And see her in front of me
I now recall her name
Ino, of that I am sure

But she is in another man's arms
The girl I will never have
And so I continue to live
With the pain that was carved into my head

Daijoubu ka? - Japanese for "are you alright" or "are you ok" - along those lines
Ai- love

(This is a poem I made specifically for Gaara and Naruto. Anime series: NARUTO!!
I am a believer of the pairing Hinata and Naruto and Ino and Gaara...so I made a Gaara life story with him and Ino near the very end, but of course it doesnt work out that way....Kishimoto-sama wouldn't change the plot line because of me!)
