Note: ermm..well...i didn't know which character this poem would suit, really..originally i wanted it to be in kurama (from YYH ) 's point of view..but when i asked my friend she said it suits Aoshi's better..so i guess this is from Aoshi's POV.as for the pairing, i guess it's AoshiMisao.Enjoy and review.

Rain On Me

Its raining

What a fitting occasion

For the heavens

to pour their grief

upon the earth

Themere drizzle heightened

Yet the proof of heaven's sorrow

Is soon gone

greedily lapped up

by the earth

that rejoices in

other's pain

Yet it could not take mine away.

As I stood

looking down where

your soul was once housed

Here I stood

wishing, just wishing

with all my heart and soul

that heaven's tears would

wash all my feelings away

allowing the earth

to absorb it all

I watched helplessly

as the earth slowly blanket itself

sheltering your eternal sleep

How selfish of you

not to wait for me

or to allow me access

to those beautiful pools

one last time.

I couldn't see

yet I felt

the earth pave your way

up to the skies above

While I'm caught here

in the raging storm

unable to go back or proceed.

I pondered and thought

I reminisced and fought

I love you so much

yet my hate for you keep intensifying

So merciless is your heart

And you

For opening doors

I had never known existed

And leaving me to explore the rooms

on my own.

You are the source of light

So answer this question of mine?

How am I supposed to explore

In the pure darkness

without my light?

You left me battered and bruised

From this bloody war

Untended

Unhealed

I will never forgive you for this

So now I won't cry for you

And never will

I'm not crying

It is just the rain

Now I'm the distant watcher of life

Day after day

The sun sets

The moon rises

And yet the rain still fell.
