Here I Go Again

by MadeNew

Poem from Kagome's POV as she struggles with her love for InuYasha. Sometimes, she'd rather forget, and Hojo is right there... Please read and review.

Disclaimer: I own nothing to do with InuYasha.

Here I Go Again

I'm going 'round in circles,

Trapped inside my mind.

The exit seems to be

The one thing I can't find.

My heart creates the walls

And enigmatic maze.

(I wonder why I'm caged

By the power of your gaze.)

No pattern seems to work,

And all the maps are wrong.

My love stops me from

Being able to move on.

I'm sick of this pain,

But I just can't forget.

I loved you back then,

And I love you yet.

No matter what I think,

My heart belongs to you.

Still, I can't help wishing

That that wasn't true.

I try to let go

And become your friend.

And suddenly I wonder

If I've found the end.

The maze opens up,

And I can get away.

I kiss him and hope

I'll forget someday.

He could become everything

You didn't want to be.

He really truly cares,

While you said you hated me.

I sprint into the open,

And breathe the fresher air.

Have I reached a place

Where I'll no longer care?

But I'm back at the beginning –

Will I never win?

I sigh and turn around;

Here I go again.

A/N: So. Another poem. I'm sorry – you've all probably been wondering if I'm dead. I'm sorry; my computer's down, and I had a huge case of writer's block. Still working, though, I promise! I wrote this poem yesterday, and it more has to do with my feelings, but I found it worked well enough for Kagome, too. I would love reviews!
