Believe it or not, this poem I actually wrote myself. It's part free-verse, since I can hardly rhyme at all, but I did the best I could. Three pages long without double-spacing. I think that's good enough.

This is in Inuyasha's POV, obviously, although I think you tweak it to be either Inu/Kik, but it mostly leans to Inu/Kag. *Shrugs* what can I say. I'm a sucker for Inu/Kag stuff.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha. Get off my god damn case.

Believe in Me

*~*~*~*~*

I'm waiting for you to look

And believe in that I can see

That I want you

That you may want me

That we may have always been meant to be

-

I'm standing here next to the well

That holds nothing but the link between you and me

I'm hoping that one day that you will see

See the real me, See that

That I'm waiting for you to believe

-

The nights I shy away from your touch

The dark nights that I always turn away

The night I'm waiting for the next new day

The night I tell you to go away. . .

-

The harsh words I say are an act

I can say it hurts me too

Just to say those things to you. . .

-

I'm waiting for you to look

And believe in that I can see

That I want you

And you may want me

That we may have always been meant to be

-

There is no sense in running

I wish you could see through my eyes

Like windows to the dark soul

See the real me

That I've hidden for so long

-

Your eyes are so blue

I can't look away

Somehow, some way

I'll prove that you are

That you may be the someone just for me

-

I've always been right behind you

Now I'll always be right besides you

So many nights I can't go to sleep

Never let the dreams to steep

-

I never thought that you'd be the one for me

I thought that she would be the girl who could see

That she would be the one who could look deep

And see, deep inside, the real me

-

What I saw

I was deceived

Thinking that she was the one for me

Someone waits for me to love again

And through all the pain

I believe that that someone is really you

-

I'm waiting for you to look

And believe in that I can see

That I want you

That you may want me

That we may have always been meant to be

-

Don't be afraid

I'll be by your side

I'll be standing there

Watching over you

-

Can't you just believe

Believe in me

I don't care if I'm not here

As long as I'm at your side

-

Fearing you

Loving you

I won't let her hold me down

From protecting you

-

So long ago I loved another

Until the fated day came by

The day she and I would "die". . .

Since that day we lived in pain

Our dreams betrayed again

-

Five hundred years I've slept

Hearing her screaming in my head

Haunting me, even though she was dead

She came back, watching me

Holding me down for an eternity

-

The horrible web of illusions

Spun between us so much darkness and despair

Broken the bond that no time can ever repair

But inside she never saw, never trusted me

And so we were fated, never meant to be

-

I promised her so long ago

I love her and always so

But now I don't know just what to think. . .

-

I vowed with her, always her and me

But when I close my eyes it's you I see

I don't care anymore what promises I break

So long as I'm with you

As long as you can really see

And see, deep inside, see the real me

-

I'm waiting for you to look

And believe in that I can see

That I want you

That you may want me

That we may have always been meant to be

-

I couldn't decide

Trying not to think of you

But dreaming deep inside

I couldn't see the blurry images

-

I believe in you

To live or die

She was taking over me

I believe in you, that you can stop this from happening again

That we will be bonded forever, immune to this pain

-

I'm waiting for you to look

And believe in that I can see

That I want you

That you may want me

That we may have always been meant to be

-

I'd give up everything to be with you

I want to be by your side

To live, to breathe

You've taken over me

-

I believe that you can see

See and heal the wounded feelings

She left scarred in my heart

I believe in you

I'm waiting for the day

You believe in me too

For those who have no poetic sense at all, the "she" is referring to Kikyô and the "you" is referring to Kagome, although you could edit out the 17th- 20th stanzas and switch the "she" and "you" from Kikyô-Kagome to Kagome- Kikyô.

Review, please.
