Ripped Apart
Michelangelo
I'm Michelangelo
And I'm fifteen
So someone,
Please help me
I'm too weak to stand
I'm too weak to sit
Look at me, everyone
I'm bleeding, don't you see?
Blood trailed over
The entire place
Someone, please help me
Before time is up
I can't call my father
I can't call my brothers
So please help me
Until the rain stops, okay?
If you want to know how this happened
Sit down and listen
I'm just warning you
Please save yourself...
It was another heck of a night at the lair and everyone did their own thing. Leo was training, Raph was watching television, Don was doing his invention and Mikey? Well, he was just about to throw the biggest prank ever. Of course, it didn't take him a week. Rather, it only took two hours to get everything ready.
He was well, excited.
Using his ninja stealth, he jumped on the ceiling and began to "get" some stuff.
First, he sneaked into Don's lab. On a table was the latest invention he made.
Don soon exited his lab to get some coffee.
Mikey jumped down from the ceiling and took Don's invention.
Then, he jumped back at the ceiling and went to where Raph's precious thing is: the ShellCycle.
...
Mikey looked at the broken ShellCycle and snickered.
"Well, Raph should have done it now."Mikey stated, getting the handlebars.
Lastly, he went to Leo's room.
...
Leo was training with his katanas.
"Not good enough..."he mumbled. Again, he did the same kata all over again.
After fifteen minutes, Leo decided to have some salami sandwich.
Mikey jumped off the ceiling and got the katanas, replacing it with rubber chickens.
After that, he left the dojo, ready to put his plan to the test.
...
"Has anyone seen my latest invention?"Don asked.
"Has anyone seen the handle bars?"Raph asked.
"Has anyone seen my katanas? I found rubber chickens instead."Leo said.
Soon, they looked down at the X mark.
"What's with the X mark?"Raph asked.
Soon, Mikey launched a garbage bag full of butter on his brothers.
"MIKEY!"They exclaimed.
Mikey just laughed out loud.
Then, Raph pinned him to the wall.
"Raph, what's happening?"Mikey asked, terrified.
Raphael sneered at him.
"Michelangelo, when the hell will you stop these childish pranks?!"Leonardo growled. Now, Mikey's spine shivered.
"Leo..."
"We get so sick of these stupid, childish pranks that we might be fed up with you one day!"Raphael exclaimed.
"Raph..."
"You better stop these pranks before we're fed up with you! We're almost fed up! We're fed up with you being late for training, we're fed up with you boasting about the Battle Nexus Champion, we're fed up with your whiny voice, we're fed up from saving you, and most importantly, we're fed up from your childish pranks!"Don exclaimed.
"Don..."
"I wish you would grow up!"Raph exclaimed, dropping Mikey on the floor.
"You are a burden, Michelangelo! You always were!"Don exclaimed.
"Clean up the mess you made and don't even bother going with us."Leo sneered.
"Yes, Leo."Mikey mumbled, getting the rag.
Tears ran on his face.
...
While cleaning up the mess he made, he kept thinking on what his brothers said. Did they really mean it? Was it true what they said? Were they ever going to forgive him?
Those were the thoughts that revolved around his head.
Once he finished cleaning the mess he made, he decided to entertain himself a bit. But it was hard to find something, though. He read the comics several times, he hated what's on the television and their was no brother to prank on. He could go with Master Splinter but he doesn't want to do it to his own father.
...
It was already near midnight and Michelangelo yawned. His brothers have not returned from their patrol.
It's almost midnight. They were suppose to return two hours ago.He thought, yawning.
He looked at his nunchuks on the table.
It couldn't hurt going topside for a while...he thought. He grabbed his weapon and headed topside to look for his brothers.
...
Alas, he saw his brothers, fallen.
"Guys!"Mikey exclaimed.
"Just the guy we wanted to see..."a voice said.
A man who had brown hair, green eyes and smells like beer, stood behind the orange clad turtle.
"Who are you?"Mikey asked angrily.
"We are the SkullZones."the man said.
"So in short, you are a gang, right?"Mikey asked. The man face-palmed.
"Skulls, attack!"the man exclaimed, putting out his gun. The "Skulls" also put out their guns too. Michelangelo brought out his nunchuks.
"Don't Mikey!"Don exclaimed.
"Get out!"Leo exclaimed.
"This is our fight!"Raphael exclaimed. One of the Skulls tied them up and covered their mouths with their bandannas.
Soon, one tried to shoot him but Mikey his nunchuks to wrap it around the person's neck. One choked and fell out of the roof. The next one tried to shoot but before he could even do it, Mikey punched the guy's jaw and shot him. One brought out a taser but Mikey kicked him in the stomach and electrocuted him using the taser. The rest of them were pretty easy. Mikey kicked them in the stomachs, shot them or hit them with his weapon. Blood came out on his limbs but even though he was weak, he didn't give up.
It was the leader who was standing. Blood came out of his mouth.
"So you give in?"the man weakly asked.
"I'm not."Mikey said, pointing the gun towards him. Mikey shot him before the man could and died.
Then, he pointed the gun towards him.
"I've always been a burden in my family. I tried my best. But if this is what they want, I'm okay."Mikey said. Then, he shot himself, fell off the roof and collapsed in the alley.
The three managed to get out and remove their bandannas. Blood appeared on their sight, signifying it was Mikey's.
"MIKEY!"They exclaimed, jumping down and rushing to their little brother's side.
Raph held his hand tight, letting the tears flow.
"Don't go, Mike. Don't go. Please...don't go..."he mumbled, refusing to wipe the tears, holding the hand tighter.
Mikey smiled, looking at their brothers' worried faces. Raph held his hand tighter, Don pinched his cheek and Leo hugged him. All of them cried, letting the tears mix with the blood.
Don't worry guys. It's my turn to watch you now. Mikey thought, closing his eyes and letting himself sleep in eternal peace.
My name is Michelangelo
And that is the story
How do you think
My family will cope with this?
Raphael
I can't believe it
I can't believe it
I can't believe it
I just can't
Here beside me
In this alley
Is my baby brother
Dying because of me
I shouldn't have yelled at him
For that stupid prank
If I didn't yell at him
We would have laughed
I just can't believe
What all happened
He shot himself
And fell off the roof
I heard him mumbling
About how he was a burden
This made my heart
Shatter into half
He was never a burden
He never really was
It was just our paranoia
That led us into this
He gently closed his eyes
Smiling at us
"Everything will be alright.
Just believe."
This made me cry even more
As he closed his eyes
I begged him to stay
But he wouldn't even dare
Farewell, little brother
But please remember this
You were never a burden
Nor a mistake
You were the heart
The heart of this family
Without you being here
Life would just be grey
I knew I was
Your favorite brother
We were as one
When we were young
But we slowly drifted apart
And our bond finally broke
I'm sorry, baby brother
I failed you
You guys were right
I need to control my anger
Master Splinter said once
Something I didn't believe
"Don't let anger affect you, Raphael
Or it might lead you into tragedy."
But now I believed
For it was true
You were finally dead
And it was all my fault
What have I done?
Just what have I done?
What have I done?
Just what have I done?
See you little brother
I know you're waiting for us
So when we reunite
We would just have fun
Leo
I'm sorry Mikey
For what happened today
Today is that day
When you gave up to stay
You're now dead
In front of us
Seeing you like this
Broke my heart
We were really frightened
When you picked up a gun
You shot yourself
And fell off the roof
I didn't know at first
Why you did this
But now I realized
Why you did it
It was that prank
The one that driven you into tears
We yelled at you
For being a burden
But when the clock
Told you it was midnight
You went topside
To look for us
You sacrificed our lives
And died in vain
But here we are
Begging you to stay
You closed your eyes
And fell asleep
But you never even dare
To open them again
You were never a burden
You never were
You were the heart
The glue and the nails
With you absent
And with them gone
We would just all
Fall apart
I'm supposed to be the eldest
But I put leader first
But next time I should have
Put brother first
I'm the one to blame
I am the one to blame
I failed you
But just know this first
Little brother, I love you
You know that, right
One day we will
Unite again
Don
I'm sorry Mikey
For yelling at you
Now I'm guilty
For what I did
You were my only little brother
You really were
With you now dead
I'm officialy the youngest
I don't want to be the youngest
I don't want to be the one
Calling you big brother
Holds a special place in my heart
But with you fading away
It just won't work
Life in the lair
Would never be the same
It would just be a shade of gray
The rain pouring here forever
But there is something
I want to regret
I regret yelling at you
I regret joining them
Please forgive me, Mikey
For it was all my fault
But know this little brother
Please heed what I need to say
So one day
This will pass on
Leo's the soul
Raph's the body
I'm the mind
And you are the heart
But with one piece gone
We would never connect
We would slowly
Fall apart
I hope one day
We would see each other again
So all we could do
Is just have fun
Splinter
It was nearly one
And they are still not here
My sons, where are you?
Where are you?
During my meditation
I noticed a depressing feeling
One that will
Break my heart
I heard my sons
Coming back
With one body
Bleeding and dead
Oh Michelangelo
What have you done with yourself?
This made me
Drive into tears
Leonardo
Explained the story
While listening
My heart shattered
How could you do this, my son?
Just how could you?
How would you commit
Harm on your body?
Oh my son
You do have a place
No one in this family
Is left out alone
You were the sun
The sun of our family
Without you here
We would fall apart
Now I felt
Tears in my eyes
Just losing one son
Broke everything in me.
These are already my guide for the Dear You songs. Just stay tune for them. It's hard writing songs alone. Meh...
So, what do you think?
