Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

Warning: Death damn it!

A/N: From Sasuke's point of view.

It's funny where inspiration can come from. My desktop background on my computer is a sky view of New York City at night, and its grey, so while I was thinking how beautiful it was (only as beautiful a grey picture can be), I thought to myself, "I should put grey into a fanfic. Somehow it morphed into a story about death. So, here is my story with the word grey included.

Enjoy! Don't forget to review.

Promises

They sky is grey

The heavens weep

Our trusted promises

We cannot keep

Time passes

And people change

That's why we're standing outside

Whispering your name

Silent death

Cold and still

Blue lips

And a ghastly chill

The prayers and mourning

The wind's scream

Quiet tears

Endless dreams

The fog and clouds

No time to heal

Empty soul

Nothing to feel

Sorry my beloved

For constant sleep

Our loving promises

We cannot keep

---

I promised him.

I promised Naruto I would save him.

I must be a liar.

I hate myself for not fulfilling my promises.

I promised I would kill my brother.

I promised I would smile more often.

I promised not to return.

I promised to save Naruto.

I promised not to cry.

Damn it!

Why couldn't I be like him?

He kept every promise he made.

But now, because of my lies, loved ones are standing outside placing lilies on his gravestone.

He always loved lilies.

Crying can be heard all around.

I hate myself for causing them so much pain.

It was my fault, because I could not keep a promise.

My eyes are watering, and tears fall down my cheeks.

I miss you so much.

But there is one promise I will most defiantly keep.

I promise to not forget you.

Your promises meant everything to me, so I should return the favor.

Rest in peace my dearly beloved.
