Bitter-Sweet Echo
Do you see the pale shadow of a girl,
who lost all she had to the one she loved?
Who wanders the earth with a broken soul,
of the fate she can't rise above?
Do you truely think you're seeing me,
with the name of Kikyo.
Dressed with my eternal hair pulled back,
with a ribbon as white as the snow?
Do you think I wanted to be this way?
Forever killing just to have him back?
And wondering why he's fallen for her.
Does she have something I lacked?
Does it mean that she's perfect,
while the original remains in the dust?
How long must I lie to myself?
Roaming the earth without soul or muss.
I hear her laugh and I think of mine.
But as I try it sticks in my throat.
I see how she looks at him with those eyes,
drowning dark pulls in which she floats.
Is it fair for me to have to see her myself,
an echo of my hopes and dreams?
Or am I the only true echo here,
with my bitter-sweet, forgotten dreams?
