Butterfly in the Snow

by Redonix

Suzu Mai was not a natural. She wasn't born with beauty or grace, and don't believe she'd be capable of punching someone in the face, and let's not get started on how poor her social skills are. But one thing she is good at is getting back up again to try. So when opportunity beckons, will she step out of her shell and spread her wings, or will she fall prey to an eternal winter?

1. Can You Hear the Silent Cry?

Time is slowing while twisting and turning,

And this hope is struggling to find a way.

The lines are blurring as I look away

Is it still possible to reach what's far before me?

Am I wishing for something?

I can't remember.

There's a strange emptiness when forgetting

Is there a way to make it end?

I think I'm distorting

I must be distorted.

Will it come to an end?

---

Can you hear the silent cry,

The cry that brings a tear to my eye?

Can you hear the heart speak?

I'm just trying to get by.

---

These days are growing longer and darker

And hope is growing dimmer and farther.

I'm blurring between the lines

Reaching for what lies just beyond my sight.

What was I wishing for?

I can't remember.

It's so sad that I've forgotten

When will it end?

I think I'm tearing

I must be torn.

Can't it all just end?

---

Can you hear this silent cry,

The cry that brings a tear to my eye?

Can you hear this heart plead?

I'm just struggling to get by.

---

These nights are dragging on and on and on

That hope has hidden itself too far away.

The blurred lines are taking over me

I'm tired of chasing after what lies beyond my sight.

Is there a point to wishing anymore?

I can't remember.

There's no use I'm already forgotten anyhow.

Is it ever going to end?

I think I'm breaking

I must be broken.

Why won't it all just end?

---

Can you hear my silent cry,

The cry that brings tears to my eyes?

Can you hear my heart scream?

I'm dying just to get by.

Redonix Note: Hello, hello, hello! Welcome to the installment of "Butterfly in the Snow"! Just a quick note to let everyone know that this story is also on Wattpad. I'm always gonna update it there first and then update it here afterwards. I'll try and be as consistent as much as possible, but I'm nearing a point in the school season where things are about to delve into chaos. (I'm going to drown in campaigns that want me to be full of school spirit and homework, blargh.)

I also do not really intend to make this an OCxCanon! romance. My main focus is more of a confidence campaign and friendship on this one, so don't expect much of anything out of canon when it comes to that.

Feel free to review, etc. –Cheers!
