A/N: Overall, you know the story, Rachel and Chloe want to leave the town, they've always wanted to leave Arcadia Bay but with Rachel's disappearance, Chloe stays there to find here. Here's a little twist in this little poem from Chloe's point of view. After some point she actually loses hope to find Rachel. Meanwhile I was listening to ' Solar Wind' by 'I am waiting for you last summer'
Hope you enjoy it!
Can Life Get Any Stranger?
I wish I knew how to begin
To tell you the feeling I've been holding in
Like a frozen leaf I died, when spring was gone
In the summer you promised me there
We would go, we would leave here
To the city where angels fly,
We could become stars in the sparkling night,
Sadness would go away, this time we'd shine
You said these words beaming, even more than the sun
We'd leave in a September night
We'd leave behind the past without deem
We'd be together, living our dream
But as the day came you never came
You were gone, no traces were left behind
I sat in the outskirts of the town
Gazing at the 'You're leaving Arcadia Bay' sign
Waiting until the sun went down
And the darkness dragged me in itself deep down
You didn't come even when the stars started to shine
Lighting my way back into that hunted town
As much as I hated to cry
I admit I shed more than a few tear drops
Feeling angry and scared deep inside,
I didn't even try to reach you that night
I went to sleep then, dreaming of us,
Leaving the town, plastering smiles
I'd been holding your hands and you'd been holding mine
Nothing tore us apart,
We were infinite
The next morning, I woke up with the sun
Brushing my eyelids, forcing me up
My head felt heavy from all the thoughts
Maybe all you gave me were pure lies
Or maybe you were just wasted, laying somewhere else
I picked up the phone with these in my brain,
Calling you, I waited for your voice
Feeling frightened suddenly, losing my cool
When I realized you won't be be taking my call
Running out, I looked everywhere around
It was as if like the bay kept you, all well-hidden
After not finding, not even a clue
I wondered if you were …
Even true
Days passed by and you've never showed up
I lost hope and never,
Not ever looked up to the sky
Still dying to leave, to go away
I thought maybe, you didn't want me there
You know when faith, inside you fades away
You start to wonder if that one really cared
Though, I refused to believe you didn't love me
As I remembered how you have kissed me
The night before you disappear
The night before you
Go away,
September was gone, October passed by,
As the leaves on that oak tree fell to the ground
People lost their fate on your return
I still though had a shimmering light left
November, January, February, March
Those, too, went away without you at my side
By the time, spring came knocking on the door
I'd been seeing you amonsgt the crowd
though it was only an illusion, the real you weren't even there
They were only frauds, your lookalikes
That heart of yours, they could never own
Growing back green, the leaves were young
The town was alive,
As I left to our special hideout
Around that railway, we used to play
I lay on the rails, waiting for you there
As the train came, roaring in my head
I smiled at nothing, closing my eyes
Couldn't wait to see you again, to hold your hand and to Kiss your hair
Couldn't wait to get out of this town
This place, that had me tied down
The train, shook the rails, like it was warning me
Wanting me to go, to get up and to run somewhere far from you
But I couldn't move, I needed a push
To be awakened from this nightmare, I called my life
As the freight train came to my way,
I remembered how that day you'd confessed
That if you go one day without telling me, I'll be lying on these rails
Waiting
Laughing at the irony
I wondered to myself
Can life get any stranger?
