This is a tribute to Miaka during the Kodoku arc of Fushigi Yuugi, when Tamahome is controlled by the drug and nearly kills her friends as well as her. There were way too many emotions going around then for me to not try to tie it together in a poem.
Miaka- Drowning in a Whirlpool
I'm drowning in a whirlpool,
_ my heart tied with his.
No! It was him but not him.
I can't tell anyone, not even myself,
that my loved one had torn me apart.
I call "Sayonara" to end it,
but without him, I'm lost.
How Can I stop crying?
_
I'm caught in the whirlpool,
_ knowing but denying the facts.
This curse has never been broken.
Reaching for any new hope, Yet
Holding on to all of his promises.
In my heart, I have to hope he'll return.
_
I can't escape this whirlpool.
Without him, all of my dreams are lost.
He is gone. I know it.
But, even if he's come back to kill me,
Again, I won't let him die.
_ No! I love him!
_
The whirlpools are gone; he's back.
Dropping the sword,
Symbol of love appearing,
Clearing the tears with his hand,
_ trembling from pain,
"It's alright" if he doesn't remember.
My hands hold onto his, again.
When the rain stopped,
_ my tears ceased.
Even the darkest curse has no power against love's might.
This was my first tribute written for Fushigi Yuugi, a whim after watching the whole anime in one weekend in college.
Next tribute is Hotohori.
