No Reply

By Kitsune Yarisha

A/N: "I wasn't the one who left this time. I wasn't the one who was falling apart inside. I was the one who came after you and searched. I was the one who read the letter and called your name, but there was no reply."


As we watched the stars,

I noted your silence, but said nothing

Suddenly, a white-hot tail appeared,

I pointed to it in astonishment

Silence greeted me,

The moment died

I turned back, half-expecting,

To see you crouched by a bush, grinning

Emptiness was all that came

To meet me, as I stared hard

You did not reappear laughing,

To ease my worry

Where did you go,

My blonde love

I called your name

Yet there was no reply.


End.
