a Princess Mononoke inspired poem San, Ashitaka, and Maru's spirit reflect on San and Ashitaka strange relationship
WHEN TEARS FALL
When you are gone tears fall
I don't understand my need for your company
Ashitaka
I'm wolf ... I'm human
You are lost from the world outside your forest
San
When I think of you all alone tears fall
You are human....you are wolf
My poor beautiful ugly daughter
I see when your tears fall
This boy is changing you for better for worse
I also see his tears fall. What will you do
I won't leave the forest
Why won't you stay?
Tears fall
You love me or not do you?
I love you San my tears fall
This isn't working
Want to stay in the forest but
No humans aloud in
My oath holds Ashitaka return to the forest
I will kill you whether or not I'm alive
I see your tears fall both of you but they will not be wiped away
You will find a way someday but not this day
When tears fall, we know that it isn't the day...
