"A Poem of Departure"

Disclaimer: None of the characters belong to me they belong to their very much-respected owners! ^ ^



I watch you trying to hide your emotions

I know you love one of us three,

But who?

You've traveled with Gourry for so long

Maybe you love his familiarity?

Or is it Zelgadis?

You and him have common paths,

But his skin is stone.

But his skin is stone.

Could you look past this?

I am not so sure.

But me,

How can you possibly love me?

I am, after all, a demon.

I have wiped out entire races

There is much blood on my hands.

No,

I think it is Gourry that you love.

As I look at you,

You catch glimpses of him.

Your eyes light up when you look at him.

I wish you could,

Or would,

Look at me that way.

I cannot love,

But I have this odd feeling when I am around you.

Hmm, is it maybe?

Maybe I can love?

Has Lina Inverse totally changed me,

Who is a demon,

And cannot love?

I think it would be grand,

But only if you loved me in return.

Sadly I don't think you can,

And that my hoping is only a grand dream.

Alas,

You love that Swordsman.

I can tell,

So can everyone else.

You are so protective over each other.

I am protective over you like that,

My dear Lina.

I only wish that you could see that,

But all you can see if Gourry,

And noone else.

This is why I, now, must depart,

I cannot deal with all these emotions,

That are overwhelming me.

I cannot deal with seeing you,

With that idiot of a mercenary.

How can you feel that way about a man,

Who has a brain of a jellyfish?

You are too good for him,

Lina-Chan

I would do anything to please you,

But you won't acknowledge me,

Or my feelings.

So I leave you this Poem,

I have wrote,

To let you know,

I hope you know,

How I feel,

And why I had to leave.

I only hope,

That you understand.

Good-bye forever,

My Lina-Chan.
