Eyes Wide Open
Her resounding footsteps could be heard in the still of the night. She took refuge in a nearby tavern, the Faithful Bride. It was filled with hundreds of people, drinking, playing cards, and fighting. It was absolutely outrageous, but that wasn't what caught her attention.
It was the flash of something shiny that did. She thought for a second that she had seen Jack Sparrow go up the stairs of the tavern with someone in tow. But it couldn't have been. He said he would be waiting on the ship until she got back. He wouldn't...
She quickly hurried up the rickety stairs of the tavern and saw, once again, a glimpse of something shiny turn a corner. She followed him swiftly, making sure he didn't see her.
She heard a door slam shut and a rough voice murmur something, accompanied by giggles. Christ, I think he did...
She stood before the door that Jack Sparrow had disappeared through and just waited. She wanted to open that door so badly, to face the truth. But she knew the truth wasn't any good. She knew that he had betrayed her. And now she had no idea what to do anymore. He had decieved her. Made her believe he actually loved her. How dare he!
Rage filled her whole body. But still, she did nothing, just stood there. She didn't want to open that door, because she didn't want to know for a fact that all the things Jack Sparrow had said to her, were a complete lie.
After a couple of moments, she gathered her courage, strength, and dignity, and reached out for the knob. Once again, giggles erupted from some tramp inside the room with him. She turned the knob and opened the door with anger coursing through her veins.
I could hear her breathing
No one believed me
I could hear those voices
So deceiving
My eyes were greeted with the sight of Jack Sparrow half-naked and a whore with half of her dress hanging off, fooling around on the bed. Jack froze and his eyes shot straight to the woman standing in the doorway. The woman he "loved".
Do you know how it feels to be afraid
Lying there frozen
With my eyes wide open
Reality came rushing back to her, full force. It was proven true. She was decieved by Jack Sparrow, and he hadn't meant a single thing he said to her. He was fooling around with some tramp behind her back. Her heart felt like it was shattering into a million pieces. Her throat locked as her eyes blurred with unshed tears. She tried to ease the lump in her throat, but she just swallowed thickly. What do I do know?
And do you know how it feels to find a trace
Of words unspoken
With my eyes wide open
I know your secret
A single tear fell down her cheek. "How could you?", she managed to whisper.
"Emily..", he tried to call out to her.
She couldn't stand looking at the scene before her anymore. She quickly fled from the room and from the tavern. Out into the cold night.
She would no longer depend on any man. She would find her own freedom. She would do things on her own. Start a new life. And she would never forget what he had done to her.
But she would forever be lonely..
