Goodbye to the Past

by:albe-chan

Kagome sat her desk in her bedroom. She glared at the piece of paper in front of her. For a homework assignment, she had to write an original poem and turn it in by tomorrow. It was already 10pm so Kagome decided to just give up. She then her thoughts drift to other things and didn't even noticed when she bagan absently scrawling down her thoughts.

There I stood

By the gate

Into the past

The world I hate

My love lives here

And it makes me sad

Knowing that he loves another

And of the lack of feelings he ever had

As I step through through

I know my place

For in his eyes

I'm but a passing face

The journey is long

And I grow weary

Soon we rest

As my eyes grow teary

His false assurances

Mean nothing to me

For his loathing of my being

Is all I can see

He got what he wanted

I returned home

I'll never go back

To that land unknown

How he fares

I know not

I hope for his sake

That he is unhappy not

I loved him deeply

I cannot lie

But time eventually told me

I had to say Goodbye.

Kagome didn't feel the tears running down her cheeks. She hardly even noticed that she had completed the assignment. Suddenly there was a rapping at her window. She went over to it and opened it, the trails from her tears still visible upon her face.

He had come back. He had come back for her.

She no longered feared goodbye, because to her, it was only the beginning.
