Tell me: can I feel?
-an Inu-Yasha poem-
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Tell me:
why I am this way.
Cold heart
hears me crying and
punishes me with cold human emotions.
Can I feel?
Is there anything left of my humanity?
My mortality?
I stumble
they say its only natural
and only human to make mistakes.
Every new moon
I change into my Otherself
my inside, hidden secret manifests.
Can I feel?
Is there anything left of my normality?
My immortality?
I am two different worlds
created
forged and melded
together
and yet separate.
I belong to neither
some where in the middle.
Can I feel?
Is there anything left of my sanity?
My morality?
Is there a happy place for me?
Tell me:
because I think I will die without your voice
your beautiful human voice
speaking to me.
Can I feel?
Can I be myself?
the best of both worlds?
Tell me:
is there a middle ground?
Speak truth
because I think I will die from more lies.
Can I feel?
Tell me:
can you love me?
Love me.
Just love me now –
as I am.
