I highly recommend that you listen to the song "Hymn for the Missing" by RED, which inspired this one-shot and to insert the lyrics in here. Especially the last minute or so of the song, it reminded me of mermaids singing (which is how that ended up making me think of District 4, Annie and Finnick.)
I'm left alone in District 13, torn away from my beautiful love. The only thing that comforts me is tying knots. Some may call me crazy, but I'm in love. I would have done everything to save her, but the events unfolded so quickly. One moment we were in the arena, the next I was unconscious. By the time I woke up, it was too late. I found myself here in an empty hospital room. Alone.
I tried to walk together
But the night was growing dark
Thought you were beside me
But I reached and you were gone
Sometimes I hear you calling
From some lost and distant shore
I hear you crying softly for the way it was before
My solace only comes through my dreams, which leave a bittersweet aftertaste. Sometimes they're more of nightmares. In my dreams, we are together and happy as can be, but in my nightmares I hear her singing far away. I can never reach her. Then, Snow's hideous face appears and he takes her away again. Every time I relive the memories, my heart is crushed again. And again. But the tune that she sings, brings tears to my eyes and joy to my heart. Even after I wake up, in the middle of the day, her voice follows me.
Where are you now
Are you lost
Will I find you again
Are you alone
Are you afraid
Are you searching for me
Why did you go I had to stay
Now I'm reaching for you
Will you wait, will you wait
Will I see you again
Her words make my body sway and my vision fuzzy. The Capitol has me broken, isn't that what they want? Well, they got their evil desire. I hate not knowing if she's okay. The Peacekeepers are ruthless and cruel, what will they do to her? I sing back, humming and first, then the audible words come out.
You took it with you when you left
These scars are just a trace
Now it wonders lost and wounded
This heart that I misplaced
I will never be Finnick Odair without Annie Cresta by my side. She is the only woman who has ever held my heart and affections. In vain, they tried to use and abuse me, but my heart belongs to her. She mends and watches over it, while it's apart from me. No one can be mine like she is. Even if all of Panem labels us mentally unstable.
