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...
