This story was inspired by the song of the same name from the Veronicas. Listen to the song as you read. Enjoy.

Job well done
Standing ovation

I loved you. I loved you more than my next breath. You consume me.

Yea you got what you wanted
I guess you've won

I'm broken without you.

And I don't want to hear
"They don't know you like I do"

You told me, we would be together forever...you and me against the world.

Even I could've told you
But now we're done

This is your fault...you made me do this.

Cause you play me like a symphony
Play me 'till your fingers bleed

Blood leaks slowly from my wrist and travels down my palm and flows between my fingers, curving around the gold band on my left hand.

I'm your greatest masterpiece

I always thought I would be enough for you.

You ruin me

You promised me it would always be just us two, us three...yes Draco...today I found out it's going to be a girl. Congratulations daddy.

Later when the curtains drawn

And as I stand here alone I think back to when you started to change.

And no one's there for you back home
Don't cry to me you played me wrong
You ruin me

You were late...you were absent...you were distant.

I know you've thought that I wouldn't notice
You were acting so strange

A woman knows...she feels it her bones when the man she loves is...distracted.

I'm not that dumb

I saw you...you and her...together...in our sacred place...where you first told me you loved me.

You ruin me
Later when the curtains drawn
And no one's there for you back home

I tried to forget, to forgive...but the images of you and her pressed together, lips bruising and hips grinding...it was too much.

Don't cry to me you played me wrong
You ruin me

I confronted you and you lied to me.

Cause you play me like a symphony

You told me I was wrong...it couldn't have been you...you wouldn't do this to me...you...love me.

Play me 'till your fingers bleed

A weak defense for such a heinous betrayal.

I'm your greatest masterpiece

I gave up my life...my friends...my family for you...

You ruin me

And this is how you treat me?

Later when the curtains drawn
And no one's there for you back home

I deserve better than this.

Don't cry to me you played me wrong
You ruin me

But you've destroyed me.

We're that song you wouldn't sing

And as I stand on the ledge of the astronomy tower...I smile...

Just a broken melody
You're killing me

I'm going to jump and end this pain.

Cause you play me like a symphony

My heart begins to pound, I can feel the blood gushing in my ears.

Play me 'till your fingers bleed

This is the end...

I'm your greatest masterpiece

I'm dizzy now...perhaps it's from my self- inflicted injuries...

You ruin me

I had to be sure that this would work...no turning back.

Later when the curtains drawn
And no one's there for you back home

I take a deep breath...

Don't cry to me you played me wrong
You ruin me

And I jump.
