Hate.

It's a very strong word.

And yet an even stronger emotion.

Which I have forced you to feel.

For far too long.

 

When we were young .

You used to smile when you saw me.

And I would smile back .

In the way that brothers do.

 

But now.

Everything has changed.

Since that fateful night.

When our family's blood.

Was on my hands.

 

I should have been helping you.

Holding you as you cried.

Over mother and fathers body's.

 

But instead.

I was the reason you cried that night.

And instead of holding you .

The way big brothers do .

I scared you .

In a way not even time could heal.

 

I said I would let you live.

But that day .

The younger brother I knew and loved.

Was buried .

6 feet under my shoes.

 

And another brother was born.

One that didn’t smile when someone said hi.

One that didn’t laugh to stop others from crying.

 

No, this one had a sad and dreadful curse.

To walk among happiness.

Yet never to feel it's warmth.

To walk a path of hatred.

And live a life of lies.

 

However the worse part of the curse.

Is harder to find.

It forces him to hurt those.

Who love him.

To eventually turn his back on those.

Who only tried to hold him.

And let him cry.

 

I was the one.

Who placed this nasty curse.

I am the one who keeps you dead inside.

 

Regret.

Is a thing a feel every day.

I'll look towards you.

The monster I helped create.

And that feeling overwhelms me.

 

There have been many times that I've stood on a cliff.

Wondering  what it's like down there.

But I never jumped.

No mater the urge.

 

I just put on this mask of mine.

To hide the tears and pain inside.

Cause I'm Uchiha, Itachi.

The man who killed his clan.

Without giving a damn.

 

I'm the worst older brother of all time.

People hate me.

and they have a good reason to.

I killed my mother, and father.

For the sake of my village.

But in a way.

I also killed my brother.

 

If I could have three wishes of mine.

Be granted by a genie.

I would ask for only one thing.

 

I wouldn't want power.

I wouldn't want money.

I wouldn’t even ask to turn the hands of time.

 

I would simply ask.

For you to smile.

When you faced me.

And to hear you say.

 

                                                                                             

"I miss you nii-chan."

Really good, but he did give a damn when he killed his clan. Too much actually. He cried because of it and right before he killed his mother and father. So yeah he definitely gave a damn, he just had no choice. But anyway, like I said, really good. :aww:
