HAHA! I'm on a SongFic writing spree although I liked the one I did on Boulevard of broken Dreams better than this one... tell me what you think if you read the other one.


She got out of town,

on a railway New York bound,

took all except my name,

another alien on Broadway.

-

Ren smashed his fist into another wall out of frustration. You let her get away... It had been two days since Pirika left. those two days had managed to leave his whole house in ruins. His sister worried because he wouldn't eat, and it wasn't only her, even Yoh had come over to ask what was wrong. Of course he would never tell anybody. That I love her...

-

Some things in this world you just can't change,

some things you can't see until it's too late.

-

He never understood her impact on his life... not until she left. Left to become a model in some big city far away. He didn't doubt she could do it. I just didn't want you to go...

-

Baby baby baby when all your love is gone who will save me,

from all I'm up against out in this world,

and maybe maybe maybe you'll find something that's enough to keep you,

but if the bright lights don't receive you,

you should turn yourself around and come on home.

-

He was falling apart without her, his energy had been draining, not that he minded he was wasting away slowly not bothering to do anything about it. I don't care anymore...

-

Yeah I got a hole in me now,

I got a scar I can talk about,

she keeps a picture of me,

in her apartment in the city.

-

Even after not eating for a week, even after his sister begged him, Ren wouldn't leave his room and refused contact with the outside world. Does she remember I'm here? If anyone told her would she care?

-

Some things in this world they don't make sense,

some things you don't need til they leave you,

they're the things that you miss.

-

After another week Ren started passing in and out of consciousness while thoughts of what he could have done passed in and out of his head, even his dreams were filled with regret. He was trapped in his own mind.

-

Baby baby baby when all your love is gone who will save me,

from all I'm up against out in this world,

and maybe maybe maybe you'll find something that's enough to keep you,

but if the bright lights don't receive you,

you should turn yourself around and come on home.

-

Soon after a week and a half he was forced to eat, and slowly recovering over the next month Ren slowly started living again, not forgetting or becoming any less remorseful just becoming human again. He'd never forget what he never did, what he never said. I love you Pirika...

-

Let that city take you in, let that city spit you out, let that city take you down, for gods sake turn around.

-

When the news came it hit him like a brick, Pirika was getting married in a months time. It wasn't that she was getting married that hurt him it was the new thought that plagued his mind. She loves someone else...

-

Baby baby baby when all your love is gone who will save me,

from all I'm up against out in this world,

and maybe maybe maybe you'll find something that's enough to keep you,

but if the bright lights don't receive you,

turn yourself around and come on home,

come on home,

yeah come on home.

-

Ren died in the next few weeks after that. His family didn't know how he died and the doctors couldn't find out what killed him. He could have used some undetectable poison, or wasted away but if you asked anyone who had talked to him in those few weeks after he found out they probably would have told you he died of a broken heart...

-

End
