Well, I've been in a weird mood lately, being left alone in the hosue with nothing to do but homework and talking to my friends,so it's a small wonder this is a poem. Remember, my friends, poem=sad Phantom, story=Happy Phantom. Unless it's a angst story.... Jesus forget it -_- Anyway, Tyba's new poem 'Every Time You Say Goodbye' has kinda inspired me to write this, etc, you've heard it all before yeah. Some of these rhymes must suck, and the other you might have heard in a different poem…what can I say. If I do good poetry, it's recycled.

When you're done, R & R, Flames are welcome, yada yada..............Please and thanks -_-

Disclaimer:

I do not own Inuyasha

so don't even try to sue.

Do so when I have this stupid rhyme,

and it'll be the day you rue.

BREATHE

PP Poem

---------------------------

I stare down the wooden walls

expecting to something

in the midnight abyss

that had never held a thing.

I'm drowing down inside myself

Trying to tell the wrong and right

Running after failing dreams,

searching for hopeless light.

It seems like it's been forever

since the words I wanted to say

have spouted from my mouth

and brought the light of day

You've disappeared into the well

symbolic of my dreams,

supposedly holding everything

yet nothing's as it seems.

Behold, the truth, I despise it

whenever you have to go;

It hurts me as it hurts you

and I've always known it so...

I can't tell the difference anymore

Between the present and the past

The pain's too deep, it's blinding me,

forever will it last.

I'm drowing down inside myself

I need someone to grab hold,

someone who can pull me out,

someone brave and bold.

Things aren't always as they seem,

It's like my life's been a lie,

it's riding all on you to pull me out

before I drown myself and die.

These feelings are so anicent

I don't know what to feel;

The pain still confuses me,

like a never-ending deal.

I know I can't control myself

just like when I lost my home,

my mother and her loving warmth,

so I killed, then ran away and roamed.

I'll admit, I'm afraid to love you

because during my rage,

I killed many other's loved ones

here and far away.

There's people out in our world

who would love to have my blood;

because I have been the cause

of the many of the tears that flood...

I'm drowning down inside myself

The pent-up emotions are killing me,

so when I ward away your loving glance,

I'm protecting you, you see.

This inner turmoil, it lasts forever,

because I can't bear the thought

of losing you, when it seems

you're the one I've always sought.

I can't be by your side forever,

Even I can die one day too,

so let me hold you close when I can

lest that day should come too soon.

I'm drowning down inside myself

I'm suffocating in what I want

It's just an evasive dream

enticing me like a child's taunt.

The feelings that I've told myself

that I must never, ever let them win

they're taking over, and yet I struggle…

I've told myself I can't let another in.

I'm drowning down inside myself

drowning in what I feel in me.

I can't go on forever like this...

I need you to help me BREATHE.
