Author's Note: Just a random diddy that I came up with. I think it's more about Kikyo alone in her grave, her soul still trapped in her body before it became Kagome's.


Hymn of the Dark

Whispering words to the darkness

Carried adrift on dark rifts towards a wondering unknown

Tears fall like rain down a moonlit window pane


The beating of my heart is silent

The rhythm of it lost; the music of it spent

The life it coursed through me but a small token expense


The mind behind these marble eyes

Unstable and chaotic; denial thoughts abound

Turmoil of lost night and day fill tears that fall


Words carried towards a night that chills

Eyes closed; viewing a world with no sky for falling stars

Graveside prayers slip past clenched lips


Living death is no relief

Denial of the mind

Reality bent by truths turned to lies


Whispered words drifting in the darkness

Moving swiftly by the blindly pondering unknown

Tears still fall, forever red diamonds streaking a crystal face
