Don't You Trust Me?

Time after time I've stayed by him,

stayed with him

when no one else would.

My friends are always

Trying to set me up with Hojo for just that reason-

to make me get over him

forget him

leave him

But I never do.

I never could.

\

Even when it seemed he'd chosen another

when I felt sure that he would leave me-

still I stayed.

I asked him if I could

I realized that the only thing that could keep me from staying was him—

and even then, I'd come back at a moment's notice.

\

And after all that, after all I put up with,

all the obstacles, and pain, and danger,

and heartache,

staying by him put me through-

he has the never to expect I'd leave now that Naraku and the jewel are gone?!

Now that our problems are solved?

Now that the danger and obstacles are past!

\

I don't know what to say.

tears are welling, pooling

sliding, falling,

dropping.

I just look at him;

I'm full of bitterness, longing

Despair, frustration,

Anger;

I don't even know what all I'm feeling right now

\

It all comes together in four words;

I try to keep my voice from cracking,

but fail;

"Don't you trust me?"

A/N: I actually wrote this a couple of weeks ago...Just never posted it. Weirdest thing is, I wasn't trying to write a poem about Inuyasha. I was trying to write one venting about someone and their utter idiocies (and trust me, this isn't a lover's quarrel). So it was kind of weird that this came out instead...I guess this is along the lines of 'Broken Seals' as well, now that I think about it...Hmm Ok I don't know what else to say here...Hope you like it.
