Just like the Movies
By Chester
Claire walked into her home and looked around. Her Dog jumped around her in a happy fit as she walked into the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water out of the refrigerator. She felt miserable. It was only today that the Official, who gave her the job of keeping Darien, deigned her the one thing that she wanted Darien to have more that anything in the world…His freedom. She flipped on the radio.
At slow speed
We all seem focused
In motion
We all seem wrong
In summer we can taste the rain…
And it was true. In the stillness of her apartment the depth of her betrayal came into focus, but at the time when her mind was racing trying to think of what to do, the truth seemed wrong. Maybe if it hadn't gone so fast, like summer she wouldn't have to taste her tears now…
1 I want you to be free
2 Don't worry about me
3 And just like the movies
4 We play out our last scene…
That is what I want. I want him to be free, even if it means my job. My happiness. I can get another job. And Darien. He can run. How would the Official get to him? No madness, no Darien. Maybe that's why I didn't do it before. I would miss him so much, that I didn't want to see the last scene…
Two can play
This game
We both want power
5 In winter we can taste the pain…
God it's hard to know the truth. I know what I have to do. The only question is can I do it? I've never gone up against orders. Never. But I know the truth now. I love Darien. With all my heart. Not even the Official can hold back love. But is my love worth more to me than Darien's freedom? His life? The Official wants power over Darien, I want power over the situation. Why can't we just let Darien take over? It is his life. But what about my life without him? A shiver runs through me. I already feel the pain…
In our short years
We come long way
To treat it bad
And throw away…
Darien and I have come a long way in our short years. Has it only been two years since he came into the keep for the first time? And I am treating that relationship bad. I should have given him that shot the moment he walked through that door. But if I give it to him now, and he finds out the truth. He'll leave. Or he'll get killed. By the Official's hand or his own. Either way I won't get to tell him how I feel, or all the things I never got to say to him. And I'll have to live with the guilt of making him cry. The guilt of making him sad. The guilt of knowing I threw it away…But it has to be done…
You won't cry
I won't scream…
But I will scream if he cries. I want to scream how I feel. I want to scream for all that I've done to him and for all the things I could have done for him that I didn't. And I should scream for all the times I've seen him cry. And for all the times I couldn't to help him and I wanted to so badly that my heart ached. All I can do is hope he won't cry…
And if we make a little space
A science fiction show case…
It's almost ironic. The Official made plenty of space for Darien in his own personal showcase. The only problem is getting him out of it…
In our short film
A love disgrace
Dream a scene to brighten face…
I guess we would have a pretty disgraceful love film. And god knows it was short. I love him and he loves me, doesn't he? If he knew just how much I cared about him he would. What am I going to do? That seems the theme for tonight. But I know what I have to do. I hope it will be worth it.All I'm left with is the hope that there will be a happy ending… Just like the movies.
