XD This poem is a response to a picture Lunalocatislunatica did for me; no, it's not based off the picture, because that picture was based off one of my other stories. I am basing this off of a picture of Gaara she had drawn, and my own interpretation. It is Gaara's Point Of View.

These shackles that strangle my wrists
This air that stifles my lungs
This cell that cages my body
-
My eyes that do not watch
My tongue that does not scream
These tears that do fall
-
I bear four horns
I yield two fangs
I once had a pair of leather wings
-
I am my own nightmare
I am fear to everyone witness
I am torment on those who defy me
-
Yet I lie here
suppressed in my own prison
Captive of my own slaves
-
Yet here I lie
These shackles immovable
My body tortured and suffering
-
That is not why these tears fall
Tears colored in black
It is not why they fall like damned souls
-
They fall for an angel
Whose eyes I shall never meet again
Whose body I shall never touch again
-
An angel of obsidian
Who was innocent like virgin snow
Who was beautiful as angels were
-
These tears colored black
Are for the boy who is dead
The lover I could not protect
-
A demon can not love a human
A human can not love a demon
Yet my own law I did ignore
-
So here I am locked
confined behind these unbending bars
His blood they frisk and bathe in
-
Mocking in their freedom
They tease me with my memory
My memory that only remembers him
-
Mocking in their confidence
They do not know how dangerous that is
They do not know how that enrages me
-
These tears that fall
Such as oil would spill
Such as blood would travel
-
King who became a lover
Lover who became a prisoner
Prisoner who became an avenger
-
These shackles that do shatter
These bars that do break
Their screams that do echo
-
Their blood that does mingle
Their eyes that do plea
And so hell hounds sing
