"Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without, and know we cannot live within." – James Baldwin

Jasmine: (Sad sigh) I'm almost fed-up with seeing all these news reports on hurricane Katrina…it's so depressing…
Miroku: (Big hug) There, there, Jazzy…I'm sure everything'll be just fine! (Hand goes a little too far…)
Jasmine: (Slaps him) ANYways…kudos to my lovely reviewers, I don't own Inuyasha, this is a Sess/Kag, and on to the poem!

Merely A Human Girl

She's merely a human girl…

Nothing more, nothing less.

She shouldn't mean so much to me, the way she does…

Because she's merely a human girl.

"Oh…umm…hey, Sesshomaru…"

She's merely a weak little female…

Nothing more, nothing less.

She shouldn't love me, the way she does…

Because she's merely a weak little female.

"…Hn…Kagome…"

She's merely a pathetic wench…

Nothing more, nothing less.

She shouldn't make my heart flutter, the way she does…

Because she's merely a pathetic wench.

"I love you, Sesshomaru…you know that, correct? And you love me, too…r-right?"

She's merely a ridiculous liability…

Nothing more, nothing less.

She shouldn't make my emotions stir, the way she does…

Because she's merely a ridiculous liability.

"…Of course…"

She's merely the love of my life…

Nothing more, nothing less.

She shouldn't make me want to hold her tight and never let go, the way she does…

Because she's the love of my life.

Not wench.

Not girl.

Not human.

But…just…

Higurashi Kagome.

Jasmine: Okay, guys…please just take a small moment of silence for the hurricane casualties and survivors…I think I've seen true Hell during these news reports, and it's…scary. For the poor people of New Orleans and Louisiana, surely you can spare one moment…(Sigh) Well, I'll try to get another poem up tonight, we'll have to see. (I'm sorry if they're corny, by the way…that's just…how I write, I guess) Until next time, loyal reviewers…this is Jasmine Reinier, signing off. (I have to update TDBLAL, too! CRAP!)
