Disclaimer – I don't own Bleach. This is another part of the Bleach: Diversity Writing Challenge c.4. This one is to write a poetry collection between a 1000 and 1,500 words. The collection needs to be based around a character. I choose Kaien for this one.

Miyako

Miyako is my angel, my soul
She is the center of my universe
I would in fact do anything for her
All I want is to see her smile

The first time we met I knew for sure
I knew for sure that she was the one
I dealt with laughter and jeers
My twin thinking it funny and odd
One of us taking an interest in a girl
He thought it just a fluke that would pass
But I wanted to see her smile

I couldn't help but get close to her
Watching her glow with an inner light
Her smile would make my day
I knew that I wanted her to be mine
So one day I asked her to marry me
I feared she would break my heart
But instead my answer was a smile

Things were blissful, a happy marriage
To everyone it seemed to be perfect
We were missing something though
No matter how we tried we couldn't
So we were left without child
And there was this missing piece
I couldn't make her smile

Then this small child with white hair
He came into our life and she smiled
He had no parents, no mother or father
I felt that he was the one we needed
To fill that gaping hole inside
The thing that would make us complete
I figured he would make us smile

Then tragedy struck against us
He took Miyako's smile from us
I threw myself at him with vengeance
I tore at the beast with my own fingers
I couldn't bring myself to smile
Not when I lost the one I loved
Not when I took away a child's smile
