Hopeless love,

Why do I continue to love you

When your heart is made of unfeeling stone?

Your life force reaches out

And stops the beating of another heart.

It doesn't bother me much anymore,

But there's not even a flicker

Of feeling in you.

You say that you're incapable of love,

Because you've never been loved.

But that's not true.

You just never noticed me

Looking at you.

If your heart is too devoid of feeling

To ever recognize one

Then the point of my life

Will be to take this sword for you.

It's hopeless, but...

In death, I still love you.


Soi may be evil but this poem makes me sad. I like it :P

This is part of my series of Fushigi Yuugi poems in which I attempted to write a poem from the point of view of each of the Suzaku and Seiryuu seishi. I did one for each of the Suzaku (and three for Chichiri.......) but once I got past Nakago and Soi I couldn't think of anymore for Seiryuu. I may still do one for Amiboshi and Suboshi however....
