A/N: Nihao! This is Miroku's point of view, and he's talking to Sango. They make the cutest couple! This is extremely dark, and it also uses a lot of symbolism and metaphors and all that, just FYI. And it's my first Inu-Yasha anything! Yeah, so uh...please let me know what you think!! Miroku rocks!!

The path I walk's a straight one

Leading to a haunted world

Of breath and souls unturning

It's death, it's life unfurled

But hope clashes with reality

My vengeance to deceit

Not just to slaughter evil's hand

But to finally defeat

The one who mars the path I chose

Who made me as I seem

With morals gone and wandered

I'm now afraid to dream

Because I have no future

And death's my only life

And in it I'll find solace

Because I don't notice strife

I fight with skill unhindered

I'll protect you with my soul

And in the years while you grow old

Death will have paid its toll

My body will devour me

I won't even be a corpse

And so I'm turning you away

Your life must run its course

Take my hand one moment

While I don't push you away

I know that you are sleeping

You can't hear a thing I say

Only in that can I confide

That I fear my fate

I can cover it eternally

I can hide my hate

I can wrap up desire

My heart's already dead

And while I take away my hand

My last goodbye is said

I won't look back a single time

Or my weakness might show through

A single kiss would hurt me

But it would shatter you

The wind covers all traces

You'll hear its taunting song

And only in your memories

Will you realize I'm gone
