A/N: I tried to put a new spin on the usual Yukina and Hiei poem. I would respond to my numerous (coughcoughFOURcough) reviews, but basically all I have to say to all of you is thanks a lot for reading. Sorry they're kind of shortish.

Crystal Tears

My heart speaks through my mouth
Speaks words of love to the one I love
Muttered in the half-darkness
Words that die and turn to ash,
They must never reach her

Teardrops fall like red crystal rain
They give a muffled, merry tinkle, as they land upon the ground.
In sadness or in joy - The curse of the koorime.

They would begrudge my simple pleasure -
The knowledge that I cry the same tears
Tears of sadness for my sister,
As she cries tears of sadness for her lost brother.
I cry for the sister that is so close and yet so far.
