Shattered Dreams
………
Lightning strikes.
Illuminated clearly,
I can see you now,
Standing there with her.
In those arms,
You are lost to me.
Thunder rumbles,
Drowning out my sobs.
I run from you,
And I try to forget.
When did this stop being simple?
When did I fall?
So deeply into the void,
Into the crevices of your heart.
My soul is trapped beside you,
But still I run,
Leaving myself far behind.
What am I missing?
An essential ingredient?
What makes me less important?
What makes you love her?
As I fall through the darkness,
Of the Bone Eater's Well,
A question surfaces.
What makes me love you?
Before you came,
My life made sense.
Now I wonder how—
How do I pick up the pieces,
Of all my shattered dreams?
My knees hit dirt,
Yanking me back,
Into the false reality,
Of my broken world.
Now that I am alone,
The tears can flow.
'Alone,' I realize.
Even in the clearing,
Those ethereal figures in the moonlight,
They confirmed each other's existence.
I have no such confirmation.
I am a shadow among shadows,
A forgotten child,
The cold wind on a stormy sea,
A drop of blood on the fingertip,
The sun's rays on a barren land,
An abandoned home,
A face lost among the crowd.
Now I understand.
In this respect,
I have always been alone.

Well, this is my first ever poem story…how do you like it? Obviously there was a major flaw with this chapter . . . the noticeable lack of Sesshomaru! ;P Anyway, if you liked it, I'll write more (and I'll add Sesshomaru in the next chappie, too)! Please review and tell me what you think!
Ja ne!
