Don't leave me in all this pain

Don't leave me out in the rain

Come back and bring back my smile

Come and take these tears away

I need your arms to hold me now

The nights are so unkind

Bring back those nights when I held you beside me

Un-break my heart

Say you'll love me again

Undo this hurt you caused

When you walked out the door

And walked outta my life

Un-cry these tears

I cried so many nights

Un-break my heart

My heart

Take back that sad word good-bye

Bring back the joy to my life

Don't leave me here with these tears

Come and kiss this pain away

I can't forget the day you left

Time is so unkind

And life is so cruel without you here beside me

Un-break my heart

Say you'll love me again

Undo this hurt you caused

When you walked out the door

And walked outta my life

Un-cry these tears

I cried so many nights

Un-break my heart

My heart

Don't leave me in all this pain

Don't leave me out in the rain

Bring back the nights when I held you beside me

Un-break my heart

Say you'll love me again

Undo this hurt you caused

When you walked out the door

And walked outta my life

Un-cry these tears

I cried so many, many nights

Un-break my

Un-break my heart

Come back and say you love me

Un-break my heart

Sweet darlin'

Without you I just can't go on

Can't go on

Aeryn Sun lay on her bed, doing something she had never before been compelled to do. She was crying, crying with all her body and soul could muster. She began to whisper to John, as if he were there with her.

"I have never been in so much. pain, so much agony, John Crichton. Less than a cycle ago, I did not even realize that I had a heart. Now I believe mine is broken. All I feel is pain. bitter agony and raw suffering.

"I coped quite well when John aboard Moya chose to take his own life rather than be captured by the Peacekeepers. I mourned his loss, but I was glad in a twisted sort of way. I was glad that I could love the John here with me without feeling guilt because of the other one.

"But then you left me, John. Talyn stumbled across another wormhole. It was like you were possessed. I couldn't stop you. You were overcome by your desire to go back to your own frelling planet full of beings just like you! And you left me here, John Crichton. You gave me a kiss goodbye and said you'd never forget me. Then you hit the door control, which you had finally mastered, and walked out.

"You know, I loved the rain when we were standing in it together on the Ancients' Earth. But now, I think I know what it would be like to be caught in it without someone. I feel cold, and I feel alone. You have left me trapped in a torrential downpour from inside myself.

"And here I am, John. I'm crying- crying for you. I miss being held by you. I miss the whispers, and even the frelling fights. All I know now is that I hurt from the inside out, and it's because you're gone. Why did you have to leave me? Why did you find anything more important than the person who you said was the love of your life? Come back to me, John. Take it all away. Take away my pain, my tears, my broken heart.

"Just a kiss, John. Just a touch. Just any way of saying that you still love me. Is that too much to ask of the first and only person who I've ever allowed into my heart? Is this my reward, for, quote, becoming more? Is this it- to be left with only emptiness and tears?

"I have no one now. No one here cares for me. Not like you did. Frell it, John, I'm here with the insane babbler, the dominar of helium farts, and Captain Kangaroo! I can't even stop using your frelling phrases! I can't escape you, John. You've become too much a part of me.

"To make all of this worse, I can't forget when you left. I can't stop replaying that day in my mind. All I see is you walking out over and over, and I feel a fresh shot of pain every time. Why, John, why? How can you leave me here to hurt like this? How can you just let me cry like this?

"John, I can't go on without you. This must have been love in its purest and truest form, because I feel helpless. I feel like an abandoned child in a crowded street. I'm frozen in place. I don't want to go forward, because that means going on forever without the only person I've ever loved. and the only one I ever will."

Aeryn buried her tearstained face in her pillow. This would be another night like so many before- full of soul-racking sobs and more tears than her eyes should have been able to produce. She hated that she had let anyone affect her this much. What happened to the warrior, she wondered.

"That was beautiful," came a voice from the door. Aeryn looked up, her eyes widening.

But no. It was only Crais. Aeryn was suddenly overtaken with anger. "How could you?" she shrieked. "How could you just sit there and lap up all of my pain like it was raslak? Get out, Bilar Crais!" Aeryn stomped to him and punched him in the face. "Get out!"

Crais slinked away, and Aeryn sank onto her bed, allowing the tears to flow once more.
