POV: Kenshin
~Basically like all my other poems, but really long. I just felt like
writing it and if you like it, you like it and if you don't...you just don't~
Precious Tears:
Looking into your crystalline eyes
Filled brimming with unshed tears
I know you are about to cry for me again
And I only wish you wouldn't
Why can't you simply understand?
I am not worthy of such precious tears
Please don't waste them on me
Don't shed your tears for me
I long to softly brush your cheek
To wipes those burning tears away
To feel the softness of your skin
Against my callused hands
I can imagine you within my arms
Holding you would be so sweet
Like holding an angel in my embrace
I could stay like that forever
In your presence there is no one else
The world fades away into the dark
And there you are shining bright
The only one who could light my heart
A faint smile touches your lips
I see your hands trembling nervously
I want to comfort you and hold you
But I know I can never do that
Instead I take your soft hand in mine
Hoping that it will be enough
To stop those endless precious tears
Hoping it will make you happy again
I see that glint in your eyes
It's that glint of pain again
Why won't it go away?
I'm trying so hard to help
You keep spilling your precious tears
While I sit here useless and afraid
I want to help you, I really do
Why can't I do anything right anymore?
You turn away from me
To hide your burning sadness
It only hurts you more
To see my hurting face
Uselessly I hang my head
My hand drops away from yours
Falling away silently
You're fading into darkness
I take one step back
It echoes painfully
I can't be with you anymore
Can't you understand that?
I don't want to hurt you
I can't be with you anymore
All I've done is cause you pain
I can do nothing else but hurt
Stop crying those precious tears
Save them for someone worthy
Save someone who can take your heart
I can't protect you, I can only hurt
You turn to look in my eyes
I can see you trembling again
I can see those tears about to fall
I try to move but I can't
You reach out a hand to me
You're begging me to come
I can't, Kaoru, I can't
I can only hurt you.
You're eyes are so trusting, Kaoru
You don't understand that I can't come
You're still waiting for me
To take your hand in mine again
I want so bad to take you in my arms
I'm trying to hold back the sobs
I don't want you to see me sad
I know what I must do now
I manage to tear my gaze away
Turning away I begin to run
I don't have to look back to know
You're crying now for me
Now I know I can't hold my own tears
They begin to flow down my face
But I can't stop running now
This is something I must do
Kaoru, I mumble out your name
It's on the edge of my lips
Just waiting to be said
Waiting for me to call out
In this darkness I want you so much
My heart is crying out for you
It's hard to get past all the pain inside
But I know I must, if only for your sake.
Running as far as I possibly can
With these tears streaming down my face
At least I can finally know that you
Are safely away from me forever
My heart is breaking under this weight
I know you are crying without me
But I can't go back to you now
This torment must be felt
You are young and strong
Please live on without me
In my heart you will always remain
So grow strong, my Kaoru, grow strong.
