A/N: My friend told me that she thought this fit Kikyo and Inuyasha perfectly, even though I was thinking of Riku and Sora from Kingdom Hearts when I wrote it. Rereading it now, I realize it had so little to do with them and it was perfect for how Kikyo feels about Inuyasha and vice versa. I like it better out of Kikyo's mouth, to tell the truth. I wouldn't call it a poem, really. Moreso a poetic short rabble? So… enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or any of it's characters.
- Darling -
Darling, my darling…what has become of you?
Your once soft, sweet voice is clouded over with sadness, you are broken inside.
Let me mend you; form together once more your passion, your love, your wandering soul.
I breathe you; will you let me breathe you?
I feel you; will you let me feel you?
Our hearts forever intertwined, we are one now and forever, love.
Cherish me; remember me, even as I drift slowly into oblivion.
Angel, fallen, broken angel…will you love me still tomorrow?
Will you still plant those sweet lips of yours on mine?
Will I be forever questioning what could have been?
Will you put my sore heart to rest?
Do you long for me, or is that a hopeful fiction?
Is this passion I feel for you real, or is it a longing dream?
Love.
Friction.
Heat.
Inspiration. Pure.
Passion.
Secrets.
Betrayal.
These words are you, my darling.
The bell tolls.
Once, twice, again. It rings for you, sweet.
The dirge is complete. You will pass now, leave me here, and lay your weary soul to rest. Roam with the angels.
…Will you stay with me a while longer?
Can I bask in your light a moment more?
No, it is not meant to be, is it my darling?
You will unfurl your wings and fly with the angels, and I will forever be bound to these sins of mine.
But why? Why must it be so, my darling?
Why can we not mingle with the moon and stars together, forever?
Why must we be forced to never enjoy the warm waves washing over our feet?
I love you. I feel you. I long for you.
Do you feel this and more for me?
Or must I forever walk this road alone, dragging the dark shadow of my sins behind me in solitude?
Will you help me lighten this load; will you carry my faults with you to heaven?
But you mustn't. You must fly into the skies, where you will remain forever hidden away from me.
I will walk this dusty road alone, forever.
Until I reach the end, where you wait for me, fallen from the skies, darling.
A/N: I'm no good at this sort of poetic thing, but when I wrote this I just felt like trying it. Read and review, please!
