Yay, I got a review! Thanks! And here's another poem, from Kagome's perspective. Again, it's a bit long; one and a quarter (or so) pages when I wrote it on Word. Anyway, enjoy!
Why do You Run
In the past
In the past
There was that ill-fated wish
To live a transformed life
That brought anger, betrayal, despair
All hope fell from the air
To drown in the sea.
In the present
The present
I'm here with you
To help you learn again
To help you live and love again
Each smile you show I treasure
Before it melts into the snow.
Then you turn your head
I'm lost to you
You spring away
You disappear once more
How can I go on like this
Knowing your heart lies somewhere else?
Why do you run away?
Why can't you stay and learn
Of the heart that beats for you
That longs for what isn't felt
Why do you refuse to see
That all that's left of her
Is a spirit, a wandering spirit
That won't rest until you fall?
Stumbling upon you
My heart begins to freeze
Why can't you feel
The coldness of her hand?
Why can't you hear
The anger in her voice?
Can't you see
The sorrow in her eyes?
Why don't you know
That the one you knew
Is buried in the Sands of Time.
Coming back
Coming back
To me
Can't you see the faith
That wavers in these eyes
Can't you read the wistful smile
Bestowed upon you?
They echo my feelings
They reflect my fading hope.
Sailing through the blue of Time
For the last Time
I see your face
And shed tears over a love that is lost to me
Why couldn't you have seen
Why did you destroy my dreams?
So I take my heart
And lock it away
Until we meet again
Under the stars of Fate.
Hm, kinda angsty, no? Oh well, hope you liked. R&R!
