A/N: Yeah, another poem. I just created it this morning. I was sitting in front of the school library, pondering what to do until it opened when my eyes fell upon my poetry book. I opened it to the last page I had written on and stared. Then this popped into my head and I wrote it down.


Evil Within a Soul

Locked away beneath this skin

There is evil lurking there

If once I show any weakness

That evil will burst out

Upon the unexpecting and fragile world

Death and destruction is its promise

My soul to bare such heavy a burden

That must be destroyed

Love is that destraction

I cannot afford

It will weaken the shields

That hold that Evil within a soul


A/N: Yeah, I got it done. Please review. I want to know what you think. I believe this tells exactly what Inu Yasha is with his demon side when he wants to protect Kagome.
