Forbidden

by yukikaza

This is something I wrote after seen a AMV about Kikyo. It basically discribes Kikyo's life in general. I, myself, am not a huge fan of her, but I found this poem very approperiate.

Forbidden

Part I

I was the lonely girl,

searching for my one true place in life.

I was the forbidden maiden,

destined to only live for the sake of others.

I was the legendary miko,

presenting all that is pure.

I was the protectress of humanity,

fighting the wickedness of the world.

That was before I meet him.

He, who was the lone wolf.

He, who was the forbidden child.

He, who was the half-breed.

He, whom I was destined to fight.

I readied my bow, poised to kill.

I released my arrow, letting it fly.

Then, all was quite.

My arrow had strayed, missing by a mere inch.

No, I couldn't do it.

No, I wouldn't do it.

For he was the other half of my uncompleted self.

Time and time again, I found him following me, watching me, protecting me.

Time and time again, I found myself speaking of him, thinking of him, dreaming of him.

And then, it happened.

Trust betrayed, friendship broken.

All that left was the pieces of my broken heart.

'Is this the punishment for my forbidden love?' I asked, 'to be send to hell by the love of my life.'

I closed my eyes as tears swell behind my lids,

welcoming the darkness that enveloped me.
