A poem as Himura Kenshin

written by Nuriko

Conscience

Their blood leaves me stained,

I can never escape their screams

Forever ringing in my ears.

No matter how hard I try to wish it away,

My conscience reminds me every day of my crimes

I am permanently stained...

It's clear on my haunted face

Reflected by the perfect lake waters.

Always on the edge of my thoughts,

Shame.

Will this pain ever stop?
