Behind The Glass

It gets harder and harder to wake up every morning, but I do it.

I grab my cane, and walk into the small kitchenette to make a cup of tea.

Most days, I don't even dress. But stay into my night gown, I believe when the phone rings, its dusty.

And when the door opens, it creaks so loud.

Being alone is worth what it used to be when I was a little girl.

I hear the whistling of the teapot, I love this sound.

The soothing sensation when it goes down, is ecstatic.

I sit in my rocking chair, and my eye catches a picture.

I loved that picture. I can't bare to look to closely. The wrinkles on my face make me cry.

But, in the end, I deal with the awful reflection in the glass, and look behind it.

Its us.

Me, and InuYasha.

Long ago, I met a man.

I loved him, from that day on.

And time with him sure did pass me by.

"InuYasha, I love you." I would say.

But one day was different from all the rest.

"InuYasha, I love you." I said, as I lay naked beside him.

"Kagome, will you spend the rest of your life with me?" He turned over, and I looked at him.

I saw those tears in his eyes.

I could never tell if he was scared, or sad.

"Of course, you should have known the answer to that."

And we made love again.

I remember the day this picture was taken. My hair is blowing over to one side as InuYasha begins to pounce on me as we look into the camera lens. He took me and a friend to a picnic in the park that day.

That day was irreplaceable.

It was almost perfect I would say.

The wind and temperature were just right.

The food was excellent.

Sango and I walked around talking while InuYasha picked up.

I told her everything.

"I've never felt this way before." I looked at her.

"Have you told him this?" She asked.

"Just that I love him, like everyday." I smiled.

"Maybe you should express the extent of your love."

"How should I do that?" I asked, sometimes talking to Sango would really help.

"Just sit him down at your place, get him comfortable, and look into his eyes....

Like You Could See Every Tomorrow, and Yesterdays best."

And at that time, with those words....

My heart opened up.

I truly loved this man, with everything I had in me.

I could bleed to death, and my heart would keep beating so long as he looked in my eyes.

When we got married, god, that day was full of good news.

We had our first dance, my dark black hair swaying with every movement.

"InuYasha, I love you."

"Well you sure say it enough darling." He smiled at me, and noticed the single tear that rolled down my cheek.

"I'm pregnant."

I had never seen him so happy in all my time.

The day of his passing, was the worst day in history.

I was sure my world would end.

It was a regular day, I didn't work but a couple days a week.

I was running around the house chasing our children.

When I heard a knocking upon the day.

I answered, and I wished I hadn't.

", wife of InuYasha?"

"Yeah."

"We're sorry, theres been an accident."

I think after that day, I became the worst parent ever.

I took everything out on my kids.

And thats why I sit alone here today.

I hear the door creak, and lord it almost gave me a heart attack.

Heavens, its my daughter.

"Hi mom."

"Hello dear, how have you been?"

And I begin to cry as I look at the picture, she looks so much like him.

"Good, mom whats wrong?"

"I'm so sorry I was bad to you after your father died."

"Mom its okay, I understood." She says back to me.

"No it isn't, you were all I had left and I ruined our time together." I continued to cry.

"I love you either way, don't think any less." She said.

"Then why am I always alone and sad?" I looked up, I just wanted to kiss her and hug her.

"We have lives mom, I can try to visit more, I'll even bring the kids over too, does that sound good?" She looked at me, god the things I did.

Were so unforgivable.

"Yes dear, I love you so much, tell your brother for me too."

She left, how can she be so forgiving.

She must get that from her father.

I hold the picture, and drink my tea.

I rock back and forth.

And I lay my head down to sleep.

Authors Note: Just a little something to get you thinking.

R&R!
