Tragic Love Song 3
Suffocating confusion
My heart aches with unshed tears
Diabolic illusion
Sprouts the seeds of greatest fears
Unbearable agony
I am struggling hard to breathe
Visions of pure ebony
My burning emotions seethe
Uncharacteristic hate
I can't stand what I've become
Desire a horrendous fate
To befall her; I feel numb
Malevolent temptation
Is this really who I am?
Destructive inclination
Do I represent a sham?
Unfathomable despair
The sensation of falling
An unanswerable prayer
Why can't he hear me calling?
Sincere passions unreleased
Can I be in denial?
Truest feelings have increased
We've been together awhile
A brilliant enlightenment
Now everything seems so clear
Forgiveness with atonement
Truth can finally appear
Behold the purified light
I was never more surprised
Hopeful dreams and hearts ignite
Long were my feelings disguised
Blinding realization
I long to remain by you
A nova of elation
My love has always been true
Expressing sincerity
I love you as you are now
Conclusion with clarity
So this is what I'll avow
A sacrificial nature
I understand her desire
The most defining feature
Release from me, you require
Liberating agony
I long for you to smile more
Discovering harmony
Though, you chose the one before
A calming serenity
I'll be with you forever
A peaceful amenity
No matter your endeavor
An unconditional love
My love's eternal, that's why
A patience sent from above
I'm willing to say good-bye

Kagome's response to Inuyasha's decision. In case anyone was in any doubt of who owned who, these are Rumiko Takahashi's characters not mine.
Unlike the previous two Tragic Love Songs that drew from various episodes, this one draws strongly from episode 48. Also unlike the previous two Tragic Love Songs this one is structured with an ABAB rhyme scheme and a strict seven syllable count in each line. My apologies to all who have to drag out a dictionary to read this. :-)
"Finally" should be counted as three syllables.
"Realization" is broken up as re/al/i/za/tion.
