Think of it like a lookup in Itachi’s and Sasuke’s heads ; that’s all I can say, really.

----------------

Do you think I hate you? Do you think I think so little of you?

Why do I show love trough hate? Why can't I reply to your smiles with gentle eyes?

What do you think I feel when I look at the sky?

How can I know what you think when you look at me from so far away?

Maybe I lost it at some point, I was walking on that path on a foggy day, my vision was blurred away by an ideal I thought was right.

You think I am wrong.I think you're foolish.

What happened to split us apart? So distant?

In the end, I only wanted to show you the road to my dream, selfish dream, but we ended walking trough endless dead-ends nightmares.

Always bitter. Always sad.

However the same fire in your eyes, has died as in mines and here I stand, willing to take yours down the abysm of my sin.

The abysm I caved with my bare you follow me?

Will I be able to ever escape you?

Now that you run to catch my shadow.

Now that you wish so much to take my life away.What a pitiful longing.

I believe I could take your little body within my arms and think you are still this innocent dreamer in which eyes I was all.

But you are no more. I am no more. You are no more as well.

So what fate awaits me now?All light has left.

All I feel is your breath hot against my skin.

I hear your voice hoarse and raspy.

I hear your voice harsh yet tired.

I can only but imagine your words are gentle.

I can only but dream my sin will end with you.

At your hands. Only your hands.
