This poem was based on Kagome and Inuyasha, from Inu-chan's Point of view.

With these hands

how I want to hold you

to touch you

to feel your warm cheek against mine

with these hands

I would protect you

keep you safe from harm

Yet I know

with these hands

these claws

I kill

I destroy

I take what was once living

for a demon feels no pain

How can I save you from this beast, from this monster

From myself?

Take these hands

cleanse them

destroy this beast

set me free

make me yours

and you mine

let me hold you in my arms

my love
