So I'm not exactly sure how this is gonna turn out. It's a sad fic, so sorry for that. It's my first songfic and the song used is "Snuff" by Slipknot. Everytime I listen to it, I try to analyze the lyrics, and I think the best way would to write a fic about it. The song is very powerful and I do encourage you all to listen to it. I'm sorry if the story sucks. I promise I'll make it up to you. Bare with me, like I said, this is my first songfic.


Bury all your secrets in my skin
Come away with innocence and leave me with my sins
The air around me still feels like a cage
And love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again

Their sweaty bodies laid side by side. Heavy breathing was heard by both girls in the bed. Slowly, Selena got up, wrapping herself in the sheet that was on the floor. She grabbed random articles of clothing and left the room to change. Demi looked over at the door as it closed shut and she was left alone in darkness.

So if you love me let me go
And run away before I know
My heart is just too dark to care
I can't destroy what isn't there
Deliver me into my fate
If I'm alone I cannot hate
I don't deserve to have you
Ooh, my smile was taken long ago
If I can change I hope I never know

"You have to go," Selena stated, tossing Demi's clothes over to her. Demi put her hand on Selena's shoulder, her eyes begging her not to leave. Selena just shook her off and stood up. "I can't. I'm sorry."

Demi sat up, the blanket still wrapped around her. "Selena, don't. I-I love you."

Selena shook her head fiercely. "No, don't. If you loved me, this wouldn't have happened. Now get out."

Demi sat up and dressed silently before collapsing back onto the bed, her sobs muffled by the pillow. She stayed there for over five minutes, her sobs getting louder and louder. Selena sat watching. Her face was blank. No emotion. Nothing. Once Demi sat up, her red, bloodshot eyes found Selena's. "I love you," she said as she stood up, pulling Selena with her. Her lips found Selena's for one more kiss.

Selena pushed her off, shaking her head. "If you loved me, you'd leave now."

And Demi did.

I still press your letters to my lips
And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss
I couldn't face a life without your lights
But all of that was ripped apart when you refused to fight

Selena looked towards Demi. She could not meet her eyes.

"I can't. You didn't want me when I was in love and I refuse to go through this again." Demi stated. She had changed. That was an obvious fact. And Selena hated change. "This is all on you Selena, not me this time," and she turned around, leaving Selena in the dark, just as Selena did to Demi before.

So save your breath, I will not care
I think I made it very clear
You couldn't hate enough to love
Is that supposed to be enough?
I only wish you weren't my friend
Then I could hurt you in the end
I never claimed to be a saint
Ooh, my own was banished long ago
It took the death of hope to let you go

Tears streamed down the Latina's face. She was at fault. And now her life was over. What was there to live for anymore? Certianly not herself. With Demi gone from her life, she had nobody. She didn't want to live anymore. She wanted the pain gone. The pain that has followed her ever since the night she and Demi made love. Oh how she wished she could change that night. But she couldn't. And there was nothing else to do. Nothing else to live for.

So break yourself against my stones
And spit your pity in my soul
You never needed any help
You sold me out to save yourself

Demi laughed. Not out of humor. Out of anger. Once again, she let Selena out of her life. And she was afraid this time it was for good. And there was nothing to do about it. Without Selena, there was nothing to live for. There was nobody to live for. She didn't want to live. She didn't want anything besides Selena in her arms. But she didn't have her, so what was there to live for? Nothing.

And I won't listen to your shame
You ran away, you're all the same
Angels lie to keep control
Ooh, my love was punished long ago
If you still care don't ever let me know

There was nothing else to live for. Not for Selena. Not for Demi. If they couldn't have each other, then they couldn't live. They loved each other dearly, but neither could take that step. They couldn't be hurt anymore than what they already are.

If you still care don't ever let me know


I know it's sad. Possibly confusing for some of you too. I apologize. I will make it up to you hopefully soon. So until then, Shelby is out xoxo...Oh, review please? :)
