Solitude


How many times have you told me, you love her?

Though I tried, biting my lip to keep the tears from falling, they continued slowly anyway… falling softly to the ground almost unnoticed like a sprinkling rain.

As many times as I've wanted to tell you the truth.

I fisted my knuckles until they were white, and the weakness seeped through me slowly like poison.

How long have I stood here, beside you?

Too long… this had happened for too long…

I lived through you, you looked through me…

And his eyes just lingered on me, trying to tell me something.

Oh, Solitude, still with me is only you.

Again, I refused to listen, though…

Oh, Solitude, I can't stay away from you…

Somewhere between this world and my mind, I didn't realize I had slipped to my knees, just sobbing endlessly.

How many times have I done this to myself?

The tears didn't matter… my pain didn't matter… none of it mattered…

How long will it take before I see?

And he stood there, just watching me, not understanding.

When will this hole in my heart be mended?

Never understanding.

Who now is left alone… but me?

Against my knees I leaned, crying out for all to hear.

Oh, Solitude, forever me and forever you.

I never belonged here.

Oh, Solitude, only you, only true.

Lifting my eyes again, they locked with the hanyou that held my soul the previous life, this life, and probably the next. My lips trembled, and I held myself tighter, watching as he came closer to me.

Everyone leaves me stranded, forgotten abandoned, left behind…

And I didn't fight as he lifted me up and pressed me tightly to his chest.

I can't stay here another night…

“I'm sorry, Kagome…” And he was genuine, and sincere…

Your secret and my word…

I buried my face into his shoulder, wondering why I couldn't leave…

Who could it be?

...Despite all the pain he caused me.

Oh, can't you see all along it was me?

Wrapping his arms tighter around me, he asked me for forgiveness, as he always did...

How can you be so blind as to see right through me?

I choked back the sobs, and the wetness continued right down silently, along my cheeks… I held on to him, for he was my life, my breath, my being.

And, oh, Solitude still with me is only you.

...Though he never stayed with me, no matter how much he meant to me.

And, oh, Solitude I can't stay away from you.

And he would always have me…

Oh, Solitude, forever me, forever you.

Forever.

Oh, Solitude, only you, only true.
