All That's Left

I can still remember how he smelled

I can still remember how he looked at me.

How we fought and loved so strangely.

Oh, how we loved.

We shared, but a kiss

Before we were torn apart by time.

So here I stand on one side of a wooden well.

Hoping and praying that I will see the one I love

Just one more time,

Just one more kiss

One more smile.

Please, just one more...

I spent each day the same.

I would work and come home

To a hollow feeling and a dark shadow

Looming over me from the sacred tree.

Letting me know everyday

That what I had was real, but not anymore.

It has been years. So many years

It has felt like an eternal punishment.

Limping through life, hoping for a miracle.

I hoped that immortality was on my side,

But it seems that life isn't that fair.

Because no man with golden eyes came for me.

Not any more.

So now I stand beneath the scarred tree.

It resembles the heart that I still might have.

Mother and Grandfather have long been gone.

My nieces and nephews are grown now.

Yet I am still waiting.

Hoping and praying.

A weathered hand brushes the wood

That once led me to the one I love.

It has lost its power

It has severed my way back

My way back home.

One last time.

One last time I wish

That I could see him.

To love him

With all that is left.

Before it is too late...


A/N: so this is in Kagome's POV and it is in a universe where the well doesn't open back up and she is stuck in the future.
