Kikyou P.O.V.

I stand waiting, feeling the pain

I see them bringing souls like candle flame

I hear your voice stubburn and sweet

Feel you hold onto me as the earth leaves my feet

Now I return to where I really am

This is not the way that it should have been

Do you remember always asking me why

I never killed you? I never answered, so I never lied

But do you remember the first blood filled night

Why did you not kill me when I couldn't even fight

We never finished our lives though doomed to end

This is not the way that it should have been

I now know that from the start

I should have given an arrow to his wicked heart

But I pitied him for loss of health

He wanted me and the jewel all to himself

Our bond can never be snapped

By those who our hearts desire to trap

I look up to see that you are here

I know I'm only dreaming, but you don't disappear

You are truly with me but in you I see fear

I stand and embrace you, we know she should not be here

And he should never have been born

We were tricked and scorned

"Kikyou" You mutter

I feel you shudder

We were near destroyed by fate

But though tragic, love is never too late

This is not the way it should have been

But it's the way that it shall be

All is beyond our grip

But your heart from my hand will never slip.
