It felt like a steadying ache,

but what she desperately needed too

Was it okay to crave their presence, their interest,

like it was her own life essence?

They only loved her from the bond,

and that was haunting, deadly,

and she craved any kind of love that she can grasp,

felt relief when they paid attention to her,

felt lonely when Shigure wouldn't join in,

loneliness tore her apart,

made her angry with time

Love couldn't be forced,

and yet it felt like it could.
