Our Two Worlds

(Another poem from Kikyou's point of view)

I do not own Inuyasha or Kikyou

(NOTE The first line of each stanza will be bold)

You look into my eyes

And still you can ask me why

"Can I not just be with you?"

Is this question of yours true?

The answer is simply

Can you for yourself not see?

Our two worlds function differently

Among the dead and with the free

The two of us: you and I

Cannot just simply fly

Through the barriers; break the line
Between the lives and through all time

The way that you can be with me

The only way is to break free

To stop all time and live like me

To end your life; Be trapped yet free

They say you're free when you die

But truly I feel trapped inside

Though in your world I still reside,

I cannot be your lovely bride

The two of us: you and I

Cannot just simply fly

Through the barriers; break the line
Between the lives and through all time

Your eyes tell me you still don't see

Is there so much complexity?

Just get this within your head:

You're alive and I am dead
