I was in a mood-swingy mood when I wrote this. it may sound evil but hey, that's me for ya. This is after they all collect the shards, Shippou thinks Kagome will leave him. Let see what he does...

Chriedbel: If anyone turns up in this poem-thingy, Gi doesn't own her, ok?

^-_-^

Running, trying to escape,

My emotions hidden 'neath my cape.

I run past trees and birds,

Trying to escape the hurt.

~*~

My legs moving faster than the wind,

Turning fast around the bend.

I see a cliff just up ahead,

Through all the tears I've shed.

~*~

Below I see the fall,

I wonder if life is worth it all.

I remember good times with my dad,

And try to forget the bad.

~*~

I remember days in sunny fields,

Wondering if it was all real.

Then one day those bad men came,

And my life was not the same.

~*~

I got a Momma, Dad, and more,

But nothing can replace my core.

My inner self is crying out,

'Please, please help me now.'

~*~

I feel I'm falling,

So no more stalling.

Quite soon I will be dead,

All that's holding me is one small thread.

~*~

I picture days of laughing fun,

And now those times will be undone.

Replaced with days of mourning,

This is their very final warning.

~*~

I begin to slip, so I do pray,

That the ones I love are not betrayed.

This evil one is their utmost goal,

I pray they rip his body and take his soul.

~*~

One more foot 'til I am there

There is not time for err.

I take a breath,

Smelling the welcome scent of death.

~*~

I feel a hand, just on my back

Preventing my plunge into the crack.

I look up and see their faces,

And I see hurt and empty places.

~*~

They, too, have experienced this loss,

So now, they move across.

I remember their love,

Steady as a turtle dove.

~*~

I forgive them, and myself,

And pull up from the stony shelf.

They embrace me, warm and tight,

I know sleep will come tonight.

~*~

Back at home, I lay down to rest

Knowing my friends are the best.

They are there in times of need,

When we're in danger, tell the other to heed

~*~

'I have good friends' I think as I fall asleep,

They'll never let me get in too deep.

RIGHT?!?!?!
