A/N:   I keep writing depressing poems…  I think there's something wrong with me.  *shrugs *  Oh well, heh, you all seem to enjoy them, so, no harm no foul, right?  Enjoy this one, it took TWO rainy nights to make it, mostly due to time issues.  As I said in my summary, this is Yukina, talking to/about Hiei, who's been killed.

Saline Eyes

A chilling pain's come over me

Cold has come,

Though not a comfort

It will not set me free

To live in ice could not prepare

My heart for this

True blast that came

Even a glacier'd break at this frigid air.

At once everything gained had I

Though soon enough

I'd lost it all

When I looked into those eyes

A chill had run up my spine

When you shed a

Tear that fell hard;

A gem you gave, so much like mine

You told me then, told it all

Who you were

And are to me

As my tears continued to fall.

Brother, then, I'd gained and lost

Spoken to me

With dying breath

Revealed with a fatal cost

Had I not been there, brother

What would you have done,

Would I have

Heard your words through the voice of another?

Now I know, and my search is done

But so quickly found

And lost were you

I feel I never really knew my oniisan.

I couldn't save you, though I tried

No matter what

I did or said

You still lay there cold as I cried.

And now there's nothing left to say

There came the price

You had to give

Death; a debt my saline eyes could not repay.
