Standard disclaimer: don't own Inu Yasha, but doesn't mean I never will (he he). Just kidding.
A/N: I wrote this having in mind that maybe what consumes her in one way or another consumes some small part of us as well. At first I was just writing this for me, but then it turned into something totally different from my original intent. It wasn't meant to be poetry either, but I guess it sort of turned out that way. I tend to write on a whim, meaning I just jot things down as they come to me, so I really had no clue what this would be when I finished, but anyhow I hope you enjoy it. Please remember to review!! ^_^ Now on with the story err, poem thingy. ^_^

Empty

There is a battle being waged inside me; emotions running wildly.

My soul is being torn as I allow these lies to guide me.

Confusion is growing,

Darkness is building, right here within me.

My mind battles my heart, common sense overriding my feelings, both in turmoil.

What should I do?

What should I say?

My heart's reaching out, my mind's saying stay.

I know there's something that I'm missing,

Something I don't quite understand

I know because it's slipping, falling from my grasp.

My sight is failing now, I'm that blind to the truth.

My heart is dying now because my mind denies me you.

I am an empty shell, incapable of love.

I now know that it is you I must be rid of,

For only then will I be free,

And only then will I finally see,

That without you I am not whole;

I am just a shell without a soul.
