Rippling Pool

'I'm at that place again...the one where only tortured, unwanted souls go...
A place full of pain, where picturesque porcelain is destroyed, pummeled into several
thousand jutting pieces, hurtling towards you, striking the very depths of your
cast-iron heart, Hurt knows no boundaries here, its torment screaming out of every crevice,
Love cannot subsist here, leaving a chance at peace an unreal fantasy..


Yes, I am barely surviving here...again...

I appear to be the perfect angel, riveting pink hair bounce jauntily on perky shoulders,
Orbs of honey shinning…But this light they seem to radiate is nothing of love,
nothing of joy...no, they're glimmering my defeat.

And yet, no one seems to notice...having the inability see past this veneer

Notice...that's what you would have done for me: observed the anguish crying from
my pitiful soul. And at that time when you did become aware, you would grasp hold
of me, taking my fractured spirit into those comforting arms of yours;
despite how fragile they were themselves, they meant the world to me.
A mellifluous tune would escape your moving lips, rocking me into the
serenity of love...A tranquil peace washing itself over us both...

But you were like a rippling pool, unable to catch and forever changing...

When it became you that brought me to a stumble, you were no longer there...
to catch me...

...Disappearing into the forever spiraling memories we hail as life...

A falling star that I had seized, but could not clasp me when I fell beneath its weight...'

Azure water droplets were cascading down the young woman's cheeks. She held head of
silky pink hair, which appeared to have abandoned its sparkle, covered with an ebony bonnet.
A pair of jaded honey oculars, store intently downwards, masked only by the presence of a veil.
Adorned in an unfurnished, onyx-colored dress, one could easily see the mournful stature in her
present attitude.

Bending silently at the waist, a single, pale, digit was raised, its tip outlining the letters
engraved in the slab of rock which stood before her. She did so through an unworn polish, the
portion having been positioned there only moments before...

The girl collapsed before the headstone, sorrow overcoming her body before she was able to complete the name
of the deceased. No wanting to understand, never wanting this reality. Body shaking with twinge, her
hand remained against the stone, the name of the young man written directly above it...

..Koushiro..

'Why did you have to leave me...?'

A/N: Gosh..x.x; I sure am depressing...I hope that isn't as bad as I think...^^ But I'm going to -try- yes, I am
going to -attempt- to by loyal and get fics up here every once in awhile, alright? n.n Good! Er..about that
Daisuke/Hikari/Takeru love story thing I began...way back in October...I really don't know if I should bother to finish
it so...I'm waiting for imput. ^^; Perhaps that could be my next story...or whatever else you feel free to offer,
My suggestion box is open! -Eizou
