My sin became inertia.

My punishment? Pain.


Thusly, I was resigned



To decay

In the rain.






Bloodstained angel?



Don't move me,

I'll never get up.

I can't be forgiven.

I'll never be loved.



Don't touch me.
Don't save me.

There's nothing to give.


I can do nothing for you.



No reason to live.





But still, through the torrent,



He lifted my bones,


Restoring torn viscera
With hushed curses and groans.





I didn't deserve this,
To skip out on Hell.


Still, I honored the wish

Of my vibrant angel.



A stinking, worldly angel.
So virile, so strong,

Who smoked like a chimney.

Eyes fervid, legs long.


Stumbling home at four drunk,

Pinging sweet of perfume,
He laid down beside me.

Late at night, in that room,



Were soft whispers:


"Please, Mother,"




On the lips of my friend.

I wished



To embrace him




So badly


Right then.

For my girl, *lechymonk.

Alternate title: "Operation: Make Melissa Cry".

I owed Mis a poem, type unspecified, so I thought I'd let my mind wander along a theme I'd considered for some time and see if I could get the words out.

The words came out more elegantly than I'd thought they could, and in a way, it ended too soon. However, it's probably best that the specifics be left to the imagination -- or, at least, to those who know.

The STUNNING artwork of the preview image is not mine at all -- it's a detail from a picture by my favorite doujinshi circle, Egotistic (Egoistic?) Guess. If you like it, or like Saiyuki in general, please visit their website: [link]

The lost soul and his anti-angel are the property of Minekura Kazuya. :heart: Please do not rip, trace, or copy her artwork or that of Egotistic Guess!

It's so beautiful! I cried, of course so you fulfilled your goal.

I'm amazed with so few words that you've put such intense pictures in my mind.

Restoring torn viscera
With hushed curses and groans.


If I could draw, I would draw what I see in my mind when I read this part. I would draw Hakkai laying on the bed, bleeding all over the bed and Gojyo sweating as he stuffs Hakkai's guts back inside. Curse words flow one after another as Gojyo watches Hakkai's chest, making sure he's still breathing. Gojyo being a little grossed out as Hakkai's guts slip through his fingers and he tried not to puke at the feel.

Ok, so I'd have to draw a ton of pictures but you get what I mean.

:heart: I love that you did this for me and I'll always cherish this. I wanted to review when I first read it but I wanted to give you a more proper review than omg! I lurve it! :D

--
Um, Hakkai-san?... Do you like Gojyo-san?
Eh?... Yes, I do. You see, it’s been declared that we devote ourselves to one another
Gojyo san, are you happy?
Ah? … I guess so. Well, it ain’t bad


Hakkai in the ~rp-ikkou
:iconhajike-no-tori:
:XD: I just knew you would! This is really my best work, and I wouldn't offer you any less.

It's funny how you imagine it the same way I do, that Gojyo's panicking but keeping himself under control as he tries to stuff Hakkai's guts back in, praying that the doctor will arrive in time.

(I'm imagining he called the doctor in as they have cell phones in their world, hence, phones. Of course, the audio dramas could be considered AU...)

Proud to be SHA GOJYO of ~rp-ikkou; accept no substitutes! I write TL;DR poetry and the occasional story. My drawing ability...needs work.
