Author's Note: I'd like to make it clear that I'm an adamant Inu/Kag fan, BUT that I especially feel for Kikyou. She's long been a favorite of mine, but I by no means want her to sabatoge the traditional pairing. And if you think that's a paradox, well, poo on you. And yes, I know this is flawed. And yes, I know I should be preparing for my AP English exam, considering it is on Monday. But, you know what? Poo on Princeston too.

Comprehend

i wonder if she can understand
even comprehend
the sacredness that is him
how warm it is in his arms
his touch
his kiss
i used to love him before before i died
and everything is so strong
so full of force
and i wonder
can she even comprehend
how softly he would caress my cheek
once he cut me
accidentally with a claw
softly
and he looked like a forlorn puppy
he would hold me close
and we would dream
dream and wonder and hope
life after the jewel
he would gaze deep into my eyes
when we dreamed
and made up our minds
can she even comprehend that look
and does he give it to her
i wonder
she seems so innocent
not much younger than i was
so open
i wish i could grow slower
indulge
love
i longed to tame him
contain him
but it seems only her innocence can do that
and i
cannot

he loathes me
he loathes me and all the same
i remember those terrible loving looks
deep into my eyes
and soft kisses
full of hope
hope and freedom
i almost wish i were dead again
to join with her
for he is so warm
i wonder if she appreciates that
at all
for it is so cold
in this shell
my children laid me out on the grass tonight
i am like ice
i can hardly move
my finger twitches
the souls warm me
just a little
but i feel like ice
children flinch when i touch their cheek
so cold
and the thought of them together
it makes me feel dead inside
a moot point i suppose
has she calmed him?
i wonder
if she can comprehend
how much i longed to do that
and how warm
he can be
his hands wrapped around mine
melting away the ice
