Slayers Poems
Buts and Besides:
Lina image-
How I blush,
When I think
Of you.
Sometimes your stupidity
Is Cute,
Sometimes your stupidity
Makes me want to
Strangle you.
But it's all in fun,
I could never really
Hurt you.
It would hurt me
Too much.
You always cheer me up,
In your innocent ways.
I'm not afraid to
Be myself when
You are near.
Sometimes I'm not as
Strong as I seem.
But with you
Here with me,
I have the strength
To do anything.
Can I see my future
Without you?
No,
I can't even imagine
Living without you.
That's why I do
Risky things,
To save you
And your happiness.
I need your heart
To shine your love,
Like your sword
Which cuts through,
The darkest night.
I love you,
I always have,
Since the first we met.
I did not know it then,
Because I was blind.
Besides, I didn't know
How you felt
About me.
Yes, we hit
Each other,
Kick each other,
And burn each other.
But that's just
Our way of saying
"You need to change
But I still love you"
I just want to run
Into your arms and
Kiss you passionately,
But that's not
Like me.
Besides, I don't have to.
Because I know you feel
The same way as I,
Because never once
Did you think of
Leaving me, or
Giving up on me.
I thank-you for being
That strong,
Naive and dense
As you are.
"Protecting the Heart"
Gourry Image-
Hey Lina,
What are you going
To hurt today?
A bandit gang?
A Monster's plot?
Or a longing heart?
It doesn't matter
To me.
I welcome all that is
Good and bad
About you,
You've done the same
For me.
Your smile is genuine
But sometimes it hides
A pain that is deep.
Yeah, I see it,
You can't get past me.
So I tease you a lot
Even though I know
It hurts you.
But you have become stronger.
Was it just because
Of fighting,
Or was it because
Of me?
As a result,
You have found a way
To set my soul free.
Something that I never
Knew could happen.
I realized it,
When I saw him
Almost kill you.
Blood that flowed,
A river of death.
I wish that I could have
Protected you then.
You were too busy
Protecting us.
It happened so quickly,
That it's always in the
back of my mind.
Why does death
Keep teasing you?
Why is there always
A risk of losing you
To evil?
It makes me angry
Because I can't
Do a thing,
To prevent it.
Then that darkness,
Which you always
Struggle with,
Consumed you;
Sacrificing everything,
To save me.
You're always doing that.
This time it woke
A power sleeping
Inside of me.
A power which raged,
Not to give you up
For anything.
Surging me forward,
Giving me the strength
I needed to see
Your smile again.
Through the darkest time
And the deepest despair,
There you were,
In front of me.
Without a doubt,
I knew that I loved you.
I always will.
I want to make sure
That it does not
Happen again.
This time,
It's my turn
To protect someone,
With all my heart.
"Here With Me"
Lina Image-
I wake up in the
Middle of the night,
Your slumbering figure
Sweetly dreaming next to me.
You look so cute
When you sleep.
I just want to shout
"I love you!"
Because you're here with me.
I feel safe, warm and happy.
Though, you'd never say it out loud,
I can tell that
You feel the same way.
How long will it
Stay like this?
Until another heart-wrenching
Battle and the horrid thought
Of losing you to it?
I guess I have something
To believe and fight for.
As long as I can feel
The energy of your soul,
I'll never feel lonely
And scared ever again.
What do you dream of
On this night?
I wish that I
Could see it, too.
Me?
I have nightmares,
That threaten to consume me.
That's why I'm
Awake tonight.
Luckily, I know that
You're always here with me.
And that makes the nightmares
Not that scary anymore.
You give me the strength
To change these nightmares
Into dreams, and then reality.
"Like This, For Always"
Gourry Image-
"How many times,
Will I lose you
To that spell?
How many times,
Will it threaten to take
You away from me?
Back when I saw you go,
I felt weak and helpless.
Then when I finally
Had you in my hands,
You slipped away.
I felt as if my heart
Had been destroyed.
But now that you're here,
I want to protect you.
Making sure that
It won't happen again.
You always sacrifice yourself
To save the world's happiness,
What about mine?
What I wouldn't give
To tell you that
"I love you".
But all I can say
Is something stupid.
It doesn't matter anymore,
Because when I look
Into your ruby eyes,
I can tell that you
Feel the same way.
Even if I never ate again,
It doesn't matter
As long as I can hold you
Like this for always.
Even if the world
Has been destroyed,
It doesn't matter
As long as I can feel you
Like this for always.
Even if I should die,
It doesn't matter
As long as you're smiling
Like this.
As long as you're talking
With me like this.
As long as you're here with me
Like this, for always.
"Blurting Out "I Love You"
Lina Image-
I can't believe,
I said "I love you"!
Those words just
Blurted out of my mouth.
I'm kicking myself
In the head.
It's all your fault!
The campfire's glow made
Your profile handsome.
Now I'm hiding
Under this rock,
Until the earthquake stops.
How will I act now?
Like nothing
Happened at all?
How can I do that,
When I just said
The three most important
Words a person
Can say?
Should I be
Worried about what
You think of me?
Will our relationship change
Because of what
I said?
Considering what I said,
I'm surprised that you
Didn't say a word.
Come to think
Of it,
You were quite
The entire time
"I said that".
Lina looks back
At that place,
To see Gourry fast asleep
With a smile
On his face.
"That idiot was asleep
The whole time!
Oh well, I guess
It's a good sign,"
Lina then passes by Gourry
To her tent,
She pauses and states,
"What I said
I meant".
When she goes inside and
Gets into bed,
Gourry opens one eye
Whispers "I do, too,"
Then closes it again.
