I listened to Homura on YouTube today with English captions on.
I cried and then said to myself.
"Why not make a heartbreaking oneshot?"
So yeah, here you are. Song-shot for you to cry.

Why.
Why, when you finally start to get happy, bad things happen? It's just a never-ending cycle.
You find happiness, I totally forget about your past and then you lose it all.
Maybe it's the payment for your sins. Maybe you just have bad luck all my life. Or maybe God just hates you.
"Goodbye" and "Thank you" at the top of my voice
What's more important than grief? Hoping that they reach you as we part In time for warmth and pain
For example: Now, with your boyfriend Kyoujurou, you thought that finally you could have a better life and your sins were forgiven. Oh boy, were you wrong.
I thought it would always be like this I envisioned our days to come Why, when our lights are calling out each other Still, burn deep in our hearts?
"Kyoujurou!" You and Tanjirou shouted in unison. You were both heavily injured, but for your boyfriend's sake, you would try to do anything.
Keyword: try.
You could never save anything, not even yourself. It was always the other people that did it.
We meet amidst a blazing journey Coming together, then letting go for the sake of our future Every time dream comes true, I'll remember you "Wishing to become stronger, I cried With my resolvе as a parting gift"
You met Kyoujurou when you ran from your home because of your abusive parents. They constantly beat you and you couldn't take it anymore.
He saw you all beat up lying at the ground in front of a devilishly smiling demon that was about to eat you, while you little brother's remains scattered across the snow-white blanked stained with pools of blood.
Kyoujurou saved you and even though while on your way to Oyakata-sama both of you didn't speak a word, somehow only his presence could take your thoughts of you blaming yourself for your brother's death.
When you arrived at the Master's estate, Rengoku requested to make you his tsuguko even though you never held a sword in your hands.
Held captive by nostalgic memoriеs Wailing at the cruelty of this world There will be even more as I grow older I never want to lose anything again
After that, you swore to yourself that you will train hard and protect everyone dear to you. Kyoujurou always joked that he would be the first one to save you, but you still trained nevertheless. Years of training, killing demons and bonding with the demon slayers and even the hashiras passed, and you became Kyoujurou's girlfriend.
By succumbing to the grief I might not feel pain anymore By your words (your words) Your wishes (your wishes) I swear to protect them to the end
But now, with your promise broken, your face mixture of blood and salty tears your boyfriend in front of you still smiled brightly even while he was practically at the death's doorstep.
Kyoujurou talked to Tanjirou for a while about him going to his house. You understood why he didn't want you to go there. His father didn't know he had a girlfriend, and you wouldn't be able to handle the pressure as well as Tanjirou.
After his talk with Tanjirou, he turned to you with a gentle smile.
"I'm sorry [Y/N]-chan. Please don't cry. Smile for me please," he sadly said and even though he sounded fine, you could see his tears falling down his pale cheeks.
You tried to smile with the most happiness you could find in your frail heart, just to make him feel better.
"Kyou I-I wanted to have a family-" you squeezed from yourself in between sobs. "-I wanted to have a big bright family with you Kyou." The tears streaming down your face, you looked him into his eyes, and even though he was smiling, his eyes were full of sadness and pain.
"I-I'm sorry, I-" Rengoku started to apologize, but you quickly stopped him by pressing your wet lips to his for your last kiss.
And after you broke the kiss, he gently smiled at you, his yellow and red orbs still shining for the last seconds of his life. With a sad smile, he took his last breath and how beautiful eyes now dull.
With a roar, it's crumbling down Our one and only, irreplaceable world
You let out a cry full of sorrow and grief while the Tanjirou slowly described the situation to Zenitsu and Inosuke while crying silently.
The bundle of bursting light that I reached out for and held so close Shimmered, then disappeared for the sake of the future Going beyond the happiness and promise I've entrusted I'll keep moving forward without glancing back Looking straight ahead, I'm going to cry out Lighting the flame in my heart Until I reach the distant future
~~~
"[Y/N]-sama, we found this in Rengoku-sama's pockets. We think he wanted to give it to you," one of the kakushis slowly said, while holding something in their hand.
They gave it to you gently and you took a sharp inhale and covered your mouth with your palm out of pure horror.
You let fell on your knees and your hands now covered your face while you sobbed uncontrollably.
The shining wedding ring with a small diamond on top fell on the wooden floor next to you.
