Infinitely--yours

by: karasu kyra

She is--

woman

--gone and the word whispers through the air. It's there one moment and gone in an instant like a wisp of smoke in a hurricane. She is Orihime--perpetually happy, optimistic, amazing Orihime.

He is--

shattered­

--lost and without hope he waits for her since he can't fight for her. He is not strong enough. He tried and could not. He is the last Quincy--the Quincy his grandfather was, the Quincy his father never wanted to be, the Quincy he worked to be.

Together they are something not whole, but also not broken. Something more like a thousand shards taped together by a five-year-old to resemble a heart.

Love--

some call it hope, others pain, but it's all the same, this connection to another person and his person had to be her--brightly shining Orihime (Elizabeth, Kyla, Fallyn, names upon names upon names!) of all people!

Oh! How I can see! he cries.

They are--

forbidden

torn apart

shattered

whole

perfect--

adjective after adjective, they are, they will be, they have been--over and over and over in these infinite lifetimes--

of insanity--

He wishes it were sanity but how can this distorted reality be--

She wishes it were less so that she could love another, stop this never-ending pain--

He wants her forever--

She wants him even longer--

But they cannot be, torn apart in each lifetime by

betrayal:

He watches as her captives drag her away, listens to her pleas, watches her peach-colored gown flutter and tear against the ground--

and he smooths his robe, brushes the dust off and walks away, reigning prince.

deciet:

Hands twined with hands, arms and legs and--

souls--

but not for it's his soul with which she is twined--not the man she is currently lying in bed with.

over and over and over they cannot be despite thier wishes and yet in each lifetime they spell out their own downward spiral something new in each life to be shattered once more--

and the curtain closes.

AN: Hmm...I don't know what to say about this. The writing itself was fairly mangled--but I like it. I like it a lot. Please review, since this is new to me in a way.
