A/N: I had detention today because of unexcused tardies(so gay)and I had nothing to do so I thought I'd try writing a poem. This kind of wrote itself but when I looked back on it I liked it so I hope you all will too. Rated R for suicide. Enjoy!

Goodbyes said too late by Hitsugayaluver

Icy eyes made of burning amber

Peer into a troubled soul

One whose warmth spreads over all

Yet receives only burdens of life's toll

--

Except from the one that guards her

The one that makes her whole

The one who's peering into the depths

Of her very troubled soul

--

And as the eyes burn deeper and deeper

Down into her core

She sees in them a light, a flicker

An emotion none have seen before

--

He loves her, she knows this

But they could never be

Because demons live in a different world

Than those the same as she

--

They're not meant to be together

Doing so only brings pain

Because one will die and one will live

Forever a life of shame

--

So he's leaving her here all alone

With those whom she can trust

Although he does not want to go

He knows in his heart he must

--

And so they say their final words

Not with their mouths, but eyes

And as he turns and walks away

Silently she cries

--

He hears her tears fall to the ground

And smells the salty scent

But does not stop and still walks on

Away to where he's meant

--

She watches him until he's gone

And can no longer see

The one who stole her heart from her

And threw away the key

--

And as she stands there feeling lost

Abandoned and afraid

She pulls suddenly from its sheath

Her hidden tanto blade

--

It was a gift from long ago

But now a deadly tool

To use for what she truly needs

She won't be made a fool

--

And now the blade connects with wrist

On the skin a line of red

And then it streams and trickles down

Soon she will be dead

--

And as she falls first to her knees

Then limply to her side

Her vision goes in and out

And darkness soon resides

--

But as she's lying still there

Broken on the ground

She whispers out just one last thing

A strange and foreign sound

--

And then she goes and slips away

And leaves forevermore

Behind the life she once did have

It's now an even score

--

Her final words hang in the air

And receive a mournful cry

From the one who came too late

But in time to see her die

--

He had come back to tell her

What she had just told him

And now he wants to join her

He wants his life to end

--

But he knows it will not happen

So he leaves her with a sigh

Rin's words will stay with him forever

I will always love you

Sesshomaru-sama, goodbye


A/N: Sorry for the dashes inbetween the stanzas. For some reason it's the only way it'll let me do spaces(stupid thing I hate you)
