A Broken Inferno
Pale and cold
Like a distant star.
So unlike the days of old.
Why is he so distant, so far.
A few choice words,
A simple twist,
Would send him over the edge
Before.
Now he says
Not a single
Hard word
Or raises his blade.
What happened to
The boy I loved,
The one I knew
Would pull through.
How did things go
So wrong, so fast.
Where is the boy
From a hundred years past?
'He is ice'
They tell me.
But I remember a time
When he was the brightest flame.
He warmed my heart
When it was blue with cold.
He gave me a fight
When I needed one most.
And now that I have
Come back for him
I find not the one I love,
But a stranger, a wolf in sheeps clothes.
And yet…..
There, deep inside
I can see the fragile ember
That remains of the once great inferno.
Slowly, cautiously,
It is growing bigger
Each day I spend
With him.
Soon, I hope
He will return,
My forgotten love,
My un-dying fire.
My…..Byakuya.
AN/ What can I say, I was bored. From the POV of Yoruichi, cause she's the only one who can make Byakuya act like anything other than a stone. Yeah, I'm weird.
