A/N: I've recently written a song on guitar inspired by Orihime Inoue from Bleach. When I first started watching the series, I took her character for granted and didn't appreciate the depth that Kubo had created. Next to Kon, Inoue is my favorite character because of the psychology behind her intentions and decisions when it comes to giving up her life in the mortal world to save her friends. I also believe that every red-blooded girl out there can relate to her because of her unrequited (or oblivious) love for Ichigo. We've all experienced that before! The lyrics are set during Orihime's time in Hueco Mundo right before Ichigo and the gang come to rescue her. Please enjoy and review if you so choose.

Disclaimer: Kubo Tite is the magnificent genius behind Bleach, not me. I claim the song and lyrics as my own. (c)


"Orihime's Lament" (c)

My room is cloaked in darkness

The only light is the moon

This place is wasteland

Surrounded by white sand dunes

And laughter is heard in the halls

Outside of my cage

And the moments take forever

As his eyes fill with rage

I promised myself that I wouldn't long for you

That goodbye was goodbye

Since it's all that I could do

But I'm a hopeless romantic

Guided by my heart

And the moments I become frantic

I'm waiting for you to start...

Cutting down these walls

The echoes aren't too far...

I've been captured by

Green eyes and bad intentions

A cold world full of hate

Where love isn't mentioned

A melody is played

Soft and sullen

No one can escape

This dark seduction

I feel their eyes watching me

Even in the pitch dark

I can taste the insanity

As they wait for my mark

Just a simple girl from nowhere

Yet they need my very soul

A key to open chaos

Where I'd lose all control

And why would anyone save me?

No one knows where I've gone

I've been branded a traitor

Wrapped in death's sarong

My fate is imminent,

Yet I feel you claw at the door

Perhaps a rescue isn't far off

Maybe I've wished on the right star…

Energies will rise

I see salvation in your eyes…

Could I be rescued by

Brown eyes and good intentions?

To leave a cold world of hate

Where love isn't mentioned

His battle song is played

Bound and broken

Maybe then I could escape

This dark seduction


PS: When I get a chance (and a microphone), I will attempt to make an AMV with the song.
