Poem Title: Chances
Disclaimer: I don't own YYH.
Author's Notes: Inspired by L'arc en ciel's "Umibe". Basically, the summary explains what it is about, so I won't repeat myself. I don't usually use rhymes...in fact I hate rhyming. It annoys me. Anyway, thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed it.
Poem Title: Chances
Give me a chance
To learn what you mean
By kind words
And helping hands,
Things I just don't understand.
I want to learn,
But memories just replay,
And remind me of times
When only cold wind
My name would say.
Just give me a chance,
A second or third even.
I'm a slow learner.
Just keep pestering me.
Just wait and see.
Keep the chances coming,
A fourth or fifth even.
I'm getting better, right?
The wind doesn't seem
All that cold tonight.
Happy, used to be,
The feeling of surviving the day,
The way skin, sword-cut
Is red with blood, but...
Now it's standing
With you guys
At the end of the fight,
Or watching Yukina,
Smile in sunlight.
I've changed, yes it's true.
And all because of you,
Yusuke, Kurama,
Even you, Kuwabara,
I see now who I want to be.
All I needed was a chance,
Six or seven,
Eight or ten,
To understand, to begin.
I think I understand,
Though I show it
In strange ways.
Given the chance to
Go back to lonelier days.
I've gotten comfortable right here.
