A/N: Tomoe's death.

LIFELESS DOLL

Don’t cry. She had wanted to say.

Don’t cry. But her voice had been taken away.

Don’t cry. She begged him with her eyes.

Please my love; I’m not afraid to die.

Forgive me! She had wanted to yell.

Forgive me! But she was falling under death’s spell.

Forgive me! She pleaded with her hand.

Please my love, try to understand!

I love you… She reached for her blade

I love you… The final cross on his cheek was made.

I love you… Then there she lay, a lifeless doll,

She, who had caused the bloody tears to fall.
