The Tale of Two Kami


There she is again That unforgettable beauty I love her now, and I loved her then. But for past mistakes, I still pay truly. Once we were inseperable Until she entered the land of Yomi When she was at her most vulnerable I sealed her away in hell, and began to flee Our powers unmistakable. Together we created Japan and it's deities A love once unbreakable Means little now as I stare, filled with humility. The most popular girl in school Of course, she carries the soul of a goddess As I carry a god's regret, how could I be so cruel? And there she goes, her every move flawless But what's this? She walks away in tears I start to follow after, knowing I shouldn't. But maybe now I can help, after all these years. Follow through on my vows, when back then I couldn't. An isolated incident, I finally caught up to her Once again, I call out her name She turned, her gaze shocked and sad just like they were The day I left her, that moment fills me with shame. Her conviction cuts deep. Her hatred still strong. My words feel cheap. Knowing I've done wrong I whisper I'm sorry, and pull her into my embrace In my arms, the world becomes less foggy. And she presses her hand up to my face. For she is my Izanami, and I her Izanagi.
