I
Watched you forever
In years so short to my kind
The Demon nature within me
That knows nothing of Desire or
Need
The Laughter and Contentment
Your reason for delivering such immaculate
Yet soothing gifts
I have yet
To
Know why
Your flowers belong
In an ancient meadow
Where all eyes have the ability to
See
The intriguing child
You were
And how each of
Their petals resemble
Your
Persona in such an adequate fashion
The softness of the touch
And the whither of time
That seems to touch the
Face
Of your kind in the
Almost exact same manner
Hidden messages that breathe life
Into such a vessel that only received
One
I have witnessed my Halfling brother and his
Family visit your ashes the same day
Every year and whisper their human prayers
I still have wonder as to why their serene faces seem to
Last
For eternity and hope that they
Will reach your resting spirit
I never join them for I have put you there in the frosted ground
When they speak of humans and
Time
In such a simplicity of words there is sense
Though such cannot apply to your rueful situation
Yours never came
Snatched from you by a demon as death slowly became your destiny
I
Should have insisted you stay in their human hands
Yet you should not have laughed so beautifully or chattered so constantly
You should not have believed so fiercely or looked to me with such trust
You should have never allowed yourself to
Love
One such as I
A demon whom is said to have stone for a heart
The Killing Perfection of The Western Lands
I hate humans such as yourself with a burning, hellish passion but
You
Attempted to warm my said heart
Though for centuries I doubted its existence myself
Melting the stone from it's cold, rigid state to something not quite so warm but not quite so
Still
And unfeeling
Such a miraculous woman that you grew to be
Ordinary and plain but retaining the smile
That I, of all beings, had come to hold special to a place in
My
Heart which has since grown quiet as if listening for your laughter
That will never come again
Just a little human girl
Just a ordinary woman smiling in a demon's heart
Rin
Such a Life you threw away
It is not necessary to ask why
You shall not answer any how
What a waste it was and futile in part for hope that you might realize your dreams of
Always and Forever
How foolish of you…
Xxx Unable, are the loved to die. For love is immortality. ~ Emily Dickinson
Death leaves heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. ~ Irish Headstone
In the night of death, hope sees a star, and listening love can hear the rustle of a wing. ~Robert Ingersoll xxX
A/N: I was deeply inspired by the quotes above. Yet that was only in part - I actually enjoyed being Sesshomaru for a while in this piece. I've been studying his character for as long as I can remember so I hope I did a decent job at mimicking his ever complicated thought process.
If you figure out his message to Rin… Good for you, I suppose. Free internet cookie. Oh, Lord, how overused is that? Hope you enjoyed!
