Hello there! This is just a quick oneshot I wrote while listening to the Hans Zimmer song; "Why do we fall" This oneshot is meant to be read with that song in mind :) I realise it was Bruce's father that originally said this quote, but I thought it would be nice if you quoted it to him as well :) And yes, you are the girl in the story ;) Anyway, I hope you enjoy it :)
DISCLAIMER: I do not own the song 'why do we fall' or Batman/The Dark Knight.
SUMMERY: 'Bruce' Her voice echoed through his mind again, 'why do we fall?'
A short oneshot about when Bruce Wayne loses his one and only love. You were his everything. When he lost you, he was nothing anymore.
Why Do We Fall?
'…Bruce…'
He heard her voice again. Her smile, her laughter. It was still raw. The very thought of her made him want to break-down. And he almost did. He remembered how she would kiss him and hold his hand. How she would call his name and always smile, whatever the situation. She was his mast, his stronghold, his fortress. When he would think of comfort, he would think of her.
He wanted to forget. He wanted too. But it's wrong what they say about time. It doesn't heal wounds. It makes them deeper. He was alone now with his demons. Every second that ticked by was like a knife to his throat. He wanted to forget, but he couldn't. It was too painful. The very fact that he thought he was to blame for her accident destroyed him. She was his everything. Without her, he felt useless. He felt empty. All these years he had tried to forget. He loved her so much, and he let her die. It killed him to know that the only person he had ever loved was dead because he wasn't strong enough to save her. He couldn't save her. If he couldn't save his only love, how could he possibly save anyone in Gotham?
Her voice echoed through his mind again.
'…why do we fall?...'
