Hey guys again. This time, I am writing a poem about Kikyo [I have not written much about Kikyo, have I?? ha ha]. I am not flaming, so you can relax, but I am not making Kikyo look as if she is perfect in every way and all the Kikyo haters are out to get her either. I am just stating the truth and nothing but the truth. If you cannot handle the truth, I advise you to turn away now. There is still time. However, if you think you can handle the truth, then I invite you to stick around, make yourself comfortable and have a cup of words…

I Would Have Been the One

My heart hurts, the sound of its beating is in my ears.

She did what I should have and would have done.

I loved him with all my heart and then he betrayed me.

I was woken up from my death and learned the truth that Inuyasha had not betrayed me after all.

I was tricked by that demon Naraku.

Now I know the truth and I forgave Inuyasha.

But what is the point, so I know the truth now, and?

What can I do?

Inuyasha is in love with another.

That girl Kagome took my place.

She has given Inuyasha all he needed and wanted.

I saw the way his eyes and soul have been brightened.

I saw the signs of softness that now hug his golden eyes.

I should have been the one to do that, I was the first one in line.

Kagome took my place with ease.

She filled up his heart.

But what about me?

I would have done that.

I would have been the one to brighten his heart.

To show him he is loved.

It is not fair.

Why did I have to die?

Why?

It frustrates me to no end.

My envy and jealousy overwhelms my whole being.

I should have done that.

I would have done that if I had not died or had not been tricked.

She took my place, without even asking.

I loved Inuyasha first!

Why did she have to take him!?

I cannot stand it.

I loved him!

I was going to show him happiness and care.

I was supposed to do that.

Who gave her permission?

I love him, I love him so much.

Why? Why?

What did I do to deserve this?

I was better off never knowing the truth.

I was better off staying dead and hating Inuyasha.

At least that way, I would never know his other love or the mess Naraku had created.

Knowing the truth has done nothing for me.

Kagome does not know it, but she has the upper hand.

She should not be envious of me; Inuyasha will not choose me.

It is me who has the bad luck.

I would have been the one.

The one and only.

I am so distressed.

She got him before I could even start to heal him.

The worst part is: I cannot do anything about it.

She took his heart and hid it.

Hid it in a place where I cannot touch it or find it.

I know she will care deeply for his heart.

But, I would have been the one.

Why couldn't I be the one?
