A Sinking Feeling

By Mizuku Saeko

Hi! This is a SenRu poem… like what Sendoh's thinking when Shohoku lost the game against Kainan. I can't remember much of that ep, so gomen if he really isn't there at the actual show.

Disclaimer: SD belongs to I don't care who he is. I'm sick of writing his name over and over again. Crappy…

Dedicated to A-chan, my ne'chan 4ever.

My heart sings sorrow, sorrow,

As you run on the wood floor,

Beads of sweat trickling down your neck…

Or was it tears of hopeless dreams?

Your spirits linger slowly around,

Your feelings crushed,

And a wail of despair is hear,

Such actions come from those whose regret is great…

No amount of consoling will comfort you,

No kisses and hugs make your eyes go warm,

Like a scared animal, you quiver in fright,

Afraid of the world around you.

I can do nothing, but to stare with pity,

As the other team cheers with glee,

I feel what you feel,

And I too grow hopeless from it.

Despite all thoughts,

We shouldn't worry,

There is always a shred of light

Left in your world of grief and remorse.

There is still hope,

So take care,

I promise you,

It is still there…

And I am still here for you.

Didya like it? I hope so… R&R!!!
