Hi everyone! This is my second and last part to this fic/poem-ish thing—so anyway, this one is set up a bit differently from other poems I've written, hope you like it—
The Lover's Curse--Inuyasha's and Kikyou's POV of their unbreakable bond gone wrong
Her: Curse him the sick monster
That laid his hands upon me
To make it seem it was alright
Before forever disposing of me
Him: Curse her the wicked wench
That made me love a human with all my strength
Before casting me out, accusing me of the worst
Saying I was an animal with a voracious thirst
Her: Why did he do this to me?
Crushing my sacred symbols of the one I adored
Ripping a hand through my flesh
And parting with a grin I had once cared for
Him: Why did she say this to me?
Wasn't I faithful and loyal to the end?
She threw me out like a hated criminal
Why is it from her I must defend?
Both: I hope you die--
(Let's die for one another...)
And I won't cry--
(Don't die bittersweet lover...)
Her: A new life, a new time
A gentle way of living--
And yet I stumble once again upon you
I know so little and much less what to do
Him: Old memories stir
As I wake from a long, yet peaceful sleep--
I see a face--then jagged memories
I feel there are no promises I can keep
Her: Was this a mistake?
Or meant to happen as if by chance?
In any case, I'll make the most of it
I'll have the courage to know when to say, "I can't."
Him: Why has she come to haunt me again?
Why is this phantom nothing like her?
I'm filled with such sickening torment
That my trust is gone, yet somehow I still love her...
Her: Curse him, the one and only
Whose sickening schemes killed many and cursed so many others
Curse him the disgusting and clever
He destroyed villages, siblings, children, lovers...
Him: Curse him, the horrific monster
He is the one who had killed her
He is the cause of bitter and bloody betrayal
So now I'll always love and protect, caress and treasure her...
--AN: Thanks very much for reading this! Reviews are always loved, and I hope you enjoyed!
