//i'm so tired of being here
suppressed by all of my childish fears
and if you have to leave
i wish that you would just leave
because your presence still lingers here
and it won't leave me alone//
Tifa was sitting by the well, the last place she had seen Cloud alive.. it still brought back tragic memories, memories of how awful she'd been to him in their youth, memories of how awful he'd been to her in their adulthood, and memories of how they'd finally resolved their problems, only for their lives to shatter into millions of fragments of love.
//these wounds won't seem to heal
this pain is just too real
there's just too much that time cannot erase//
It had only been a month ago that he'd tragically passed away.. and how ironic that the place where he had left the worlds was the same place she had been brought into it.. she tried to be happy, she knew he'd want her to be, but the tears just kept falling, streaking her perfectly made up face.
//when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears
when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears
and i've held your hand through all of these years
but you still have all of me//
She couldn't let go, couldn't contemplate the fact that he was gone, and she'd never see him again. Every day since his death, she'd still made breakfast for two, and then had to throw it away, realising that there was no-one there to eat the second meal now, no one for her to talk to over breakfast, no one except herself, her lonely little mind.
//you used to captivate me
by your resonating light
but now i'm bound by the life you left behind
your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
your voice it chased away all the sanity in me//
Friends had come and been.. Barret and Yuffie had repeatedly came and gone, telling her that she should leave the house, take a break from this place of mind numbing memories.. but she couldn't let go.. she couldn't leave this place where she'd been with him for so long.. she thought maybe if she stayed here, she'd be able to keep him alive in her mind..
//these wounds won't seem to heal
this pain is just too real
there's just too much that time cannot erase
when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears
when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears
and i've held your hand through all of these years
but you still have all of me//
And then came the day when she discovered she was pregnant.. she had a little Cloud or Cloudette growing inside of her, and it killed her. The fact Cloud would not be here to see his son or daughter grow up murdered her mind, overwhelmed her with guilt, that she would be there for her child, but their father would not.. she couldn't handle this.. she'd had nothing to do with Clouds death herself, but it still weighed on her mind that if she'd been their with him, maybe he would have survived.. but no.. he was gone, and she was left by herself in Nibelheim.. trapped in a vicious circle of memories that would never release her from their grasp.

//i've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
and though you're still with me
i've been alone all along//
I know its short, I know it doesn't really have a beginning, middle OR end, but I was bored and this is what happened. R + R please. =)
