Disclaimer: Saiyuki isn't mine, this poem, however, is.

Author's note: Gomen ne minna…..I didn't planned to do a poem about Hakkai nor did I planned for it to be like this….but everytime I think about Hakkai, I got into depression mode and we all know what that brings…… gomen…..gomen….gomen…..*bows head repeatedly*…

Hollow

Show me what it means to be alive,

What it means to have a home,

To be loved and to belong,

Show me now, cause I have forgotten.

*

Tell me, what's the use of living?

When your whole world is nothing but,

An empty wasteland of endless pain,

Littered by scraps of a broken past.

*

Tell me, how to face another day?

When all that's precious was taken away,

And each rising sun, blackened by grief,

In a poisoned sea, I alone drift.

*

Tell me, is it not better to die?

When reason and purpose passed you by,

Hopes and dreams, gone with a sigh,

And what comforts left, in death they lie.

*

Tell me this and tell me more,

Cause I can't see, my heart's so sore,

Cold and tired, I've been here before,

Give me a way out, give me a cure.

*

Show me again the perfect view,

Paint me a picture of the sky so blue,

Bring me back to the days I'm with you,

Give me strength to live my life anew.

*

Well, that's it. Please R&R!!!!
