The Road to Home

I started out on my road;

A lone wanderer was me.

I followed no borne path known,

Tread new ground beneath my feet.

I searched for home on my road,

My long, treacherous journey.

Almost found it, this I know,

But then my love betrayed me.

With one flick of her strong bow

Kikyo bound me to the tree.

Fifty years I spent unknown,

Cold, dead and solitary.

Then one day, a young girl came,

And like waking from a dream,

She freed me from my prone state

And has never let me be.

I didn't want her beside

Me; I loathed her company

For she carried the same face

Of the one who destroyed me.

Here I was, alive and free

But what good did that do me?

I still had a road to go

On a yet untold journey.

But that young girl wouldn't leave

My side, so stubborn is she.

So I took her for the ride

Believing that she would see.

But Kagome never left

My side, never strayed from me.

No matter how many times

The road changed beneath my feet,

I was finally at home

As long as she was near me.

It took me so long to know,

It took my whole life to see:

If you travel all alone,

It's a lonely home you'll keep.
