Another poem that delves into the minds of the characters. This time I tried to think like Hiei. It started out as a poem about how I felt about losing my friends, but I modified to to fit Hiei. He is speaking to Kurama. Interpret it however you like. The poem says "friendship," but if you want to read into it you can make it a yaoi poem. Personally I did not mean it to mean more than friendship, but I can not stop you from thinking what you will.

Do you know what betrayal feels like?
Have you ever had your heart ripped out?
Do you know what betrayal feels like?
How can you understand what I feel?
Place you hand on my breast
Cover the hole that once led to my heart
All I have left is an empty cavern
All that was left behind after their treachery
Do you know what betrayal feels like?
Have you ever had your soul burned away?
Do you know what betrayal feels like?
How can you salvage what is lost?
Close your hateful innocent eyes
Feel your soul ripped to shreds
How many pieces can you find?
Count the wounds made with their lies
Do you know what betrayal feels like?
Have you ever put faith into another's hand?
Do you know what betrayal feels like?
How can I ever trust anyone again?
Still you come into my life without thought
You try to melt me with your smile
You succeed and you also do not
And you teach me trust and love again
You know betrayal as well as I do
You have had a heart forcefully taken
I know betrayal same as you
Yet you still know how to trust
Why did you do this to me?
Why does it hurt so much?
And at the same time I feel no pain
My forgotten scar vanished in your warmth
I know what betrayal feels like
And now you have shown me trust
I know what betrayal feels like
But now I know love as well
In the end your friendship has won me over
Your undying belief in me touched my heart
Betrayal no longer rules my life
But I shall not tell the world just yet
