Summery: This is a…well I don't really know if it could be considered a poem…but "She" is Kikyo. "You" is Inuyasha.

Darkness

Do you see it?

The darkness

Inside of her.

She tried to stop you

From ever seeing it.

But she couldn't.

You saw it.

You're scared.

She is darker

Than you could handle.

But yet you try.

Why is this?

You try to help her.

But you know it's useless.

But you have stubborn hope.

She fell

So far before she met you.

Far enough to where

She can't be reached.

No matter how far you dig.

You'll never find

What she once was.

In a deep pit

Is a shadow

Of what she was.

Polar opposites

She and you are.

Why do you stay

When you know it's hopeless?

Do you not know?

She's told you

Time and time again.

She's made you cry.

Cry with anger

Because you can't help her.

But as you cry,

She smiles softly

And kisses your forehead

And whispers,

"You are trying to save

Something that's already dead."

Perfect.

Unchanging.

She's embraced this darkness.

She's made it a part of her.

She lives it, breathes it.

And it scares you.

I suck at poetry. Tell me what you think.
