Author's Notes, Warnings, etc: I don't own Fushigi Yuugi whatsoever, ne? And I don't own Furuete Kudasai, or Soi, or Nakago!

Anyway, has anyone heard Soi's song, Furuete Kudasai? I just downloaded it and it's the best! It's lovely, so go download it or buy the CD or something because it's excellent. So I had to write a poem based on it.

The poem is Soi, speaking to Nakago, and it's when she's dying. Mature themes, but it's mostly insinuated. But it's way dark and metaphorical and all that (Aren't my poems always like that?)

And if anyone wants to chat about anime e-mail me 'cause Princeton sucks and no one here likes anime and I'm going through withdrawal!

Please, please leave me a review! I have low self-esteem *sob* Maybe then I'll write a Tasuki/Chiri fic. Anyone?





It's irony at it's thickest

Destiny unset

Fate's patterns finally faltered

Temptation for regret



I never ask a question

If I don't answer first

I've never lied to you before

For you were my rebirth



I've given you my potency

Your body was my sheath

How can I lie above you

If I'm always underneath?



I could say I'm half without you

I could say you make me whole

I could say I've been within you

But I never shared your soul



For I've never made true love to you

Throughout a hundred nights in bed

Your apathy was my passion

My prayers were left unsaid



I ache to see you tremble

I shake to see you sigh

To shiver I would cower

To love I'd all but die



Serves me right for dreaming

For clinging to a lie

If I really wanted to be strong

All I had to do was cry



From my outspread fingers

Thunder will tear you apart

Fire will scorch your body

Lightning will burn your heart



Mercy doesn't become me

You always taught me to be cold

Nothing can touch me but you now

I'll do what I've been told



And only you can break me

Only you could make me snap

Not even death could take me

And life won't take me back





Hell won't scar emotions

Light won't make me see

Darkness cannot blind you

Chains can't set me free



My innocence was slaughtered

I could live with that

Until you showed me what it was

To finally take it back



Guess I'm now some use to you

Too bad I cannot see

Maybe you are crying

Maybe it's for me



But I don't feel you trembling

Maybe I'm shaking enough

Ensnared in your embrace at last

Dying's not that tough



Know that you gave me back my life

Yet know that you made it hell

That with every day beside you

I tripped and hurt and fell



It really doesn't matter now

But swear with my last breath

That the last word from your lips

Will be my name, will be wept



If only thousands of moments from now

You ultimately cry

Then it's okay to leave you

I can finally say goodbye



Please tremble

Please regret

Please remember

With no memories left



Please cry for me

Please mourn

Please shiver

Please be warm



I think that I'm in love

Though I never thought I'd be

And I think despite my agony

I can hear and taste and see



A world that's full of color

If only in your lips

My words are left unspoken

The scale is left untipped



Someday I'll make love to you

No armor, chains or lies

That past will be forgotten

And finally, you'll cry
