Kagome is thinking about her relationship with Inuyasha

Love's Trials Lost+

I sit and ponder,

Our love obscure.

-And all the times, you've turned away.

You say you love me,

-And yet you run to her.

Death claims you with her herbs and ashes.

A remembrance of what was 'fore.

I cannot wait for you;

My heart has bled ,

Many tears I've wept.

My soul has faded into the wisps of time;

Tired and lonely it was cast away,

Desecrated and posthumous 'tis.

No more but leaves on a lonely grave.

How to explain this ache inside?

A word says nothing at all.

And yet- it says it all.

Like the rain, falling over my face.

Like these tears which slip and slide.

Like the wind which steals my wail.

Like a word which hides it all.
