A/N: Thank you Shessy-Slipperz/S.Wooz for the ideas, it really got my writer's blocked mind working. I thank everyone who's reviewed so far, and I bet you anything you can guess what this next poem is about, if you can't...go slam your head against the wall...This is probably my favorite, it totally makes up for the last one (I didn't like that one much) I had to be in deep concentration in order to write this, to get inside of InuYasha's head and still be able to put in poem format, I hope you enjoy!
...and, I don't own any characters, they belong to the heaven sent animators, creators, and of course, the original manga author.
Her Eyes
If only time could stand stillIf only I could have the power to climb that never ending hill
If only is the illusion, but I can't see
So blindly I force my way into the confusion meant for me
I'm torn so badly I can't decide
Who to trust or who to ally
Should I stay with the past?
I made a promise I have to keep
But somehow that promise hasn't sunk in
And I'm stuck in between now and then
Why oh why did it have to be me?
My breath is coming ragged, I can no longer see
I cannot see how she's controlling me
I cannot force myself to believe
That's she's no longer who I wish her to be
She's making me hurt the one I'm supposed to protect
Like invisible knives running through her delicate back
But she couldn't do that, she wouldn't dare...
The Kikyo I knew had a softened stare
This Kikyo is different, her gaze is cold
As if what we lived was more than a thousand years ago
She doesn't love me anymore
The words slice through my soul
I don't want to believe it, but I have to see
Have to open my eyes and see what she's doing to me
If only time could stand still
If only I could have the power to climb that never ending hill
It only is the illusion, but I can't see
So blindly I force my way into the confusion meant for me
If she loved me, would she hurt me so?
Then again, now do I really know?
My mind is running in circles, getting me more lost
The reason I'm here is of her personal cost
Kagome ran, ran far away
The demons could get her, "I'm on my way..."
My hands are trembling, my lip is bleeding
But somehow the thought of her eyes keeps me heeding
Heeding the thorns tugging at my skin
The thoughts of where they are, meaning my kin
The swimming uneasiness growling in my throat
For once, I'd have to look through her eyes
When she saw me, who did she see?
The same InuYasha she had grown to accept and maybe love?
Or was it Kikyo's InuYasha, being dragged to hell?
The rest is not worth to tell
Looking further, I'd have to see
The heartbreak and betrayal of her own heart's key
Unhinging the lock, I failed to look
I was to busy dealing with my own life's book
I failed to hear her muffled sobs at night
I failed to listen to her compliments and praise
I failed to protect her when I was in a daze
If only time could stand still
If only I could have the power to climb that never ending hill
It only is the illusion, but I can't see
So blindly I force my way into the confusion meant for me
So this is what Kikyo's spell has done?
I open my eyes and see what I have become
I have become what I have always feared
The suffering of Kagome, and the cause of all those tears
Furiously I stumble on
I will find her; let her know before the new dawn
Even if my hands are muddy, I'll grasp her own
What happens after that, I don't know
I must reach her, before that golden sun falls
The fog is lifting, now I can see
My friends have always been with me
There's Kagome, and before I know it she's in my bloody arms
The dirt is getting on her shirt, but I guess she doesn't care
She's sobbing into my shoulder as I run a dirty hand through her perfect hair
She goes on how she was worried, why did I run off?
I just hold her closer, breathing in her scent
Her eyes, despite of the tears
Are filled with the softness I have longed for years
The other's run up, their faces diminish the previous fear
Instead a smile crosses their features, we're all here
Into the present, instead of the past
Except this time, this would last
