INTERMISSION: My Immortal
I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
Sesshoumaru sat down heavily on the couch and tilted his head back. Closing his eyes, he pushed back the tears. It had been several centuries ago. The knuckles of his hands were white as he held the small brown book. He opened it. The faint scent of the dry flowers reached up and teased his nose.
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
Jaken came in and stopped. His eyes soften in sadness before he left the room again. Lord Sesshoumaru still hurt after all these years. Jaken sighed and admitted it still hurt him but it had wounded Sesshoumaru far worse.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me
Sesshoumaru remembered how it was before the last battle. He smiled fondly at his thoughts. He absently touched the scar on his arm, saddening. Tendo Kasumi's appearance made him remember.
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
Sesshoumaru found himself in the cave that hid under the shrine. Kagome had been here, her presence marked by the lilies.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
His fingers brushed the stone lovingly.
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
The tears traced his face as they fell.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
Kagome's presence made him turn. Her moistened eyes said more than anything. He pulled her to him and cried softly into her shirt. Kagome, crying, stroked his head.
But you still have
All of me
The marker simply read one word.
