He couldn't believe it.
She was gone. She was gone, and she wasn't coming back.
She had always told him, I'll never leave you. I promise. (and she seals the promise with a kiss)
Klaus thinks bitterly, You broke that promise.
---------------
Days pass, and grass starts to grow over her grave
(Klaus hates the sight of it, hates the thought that she's just lying there, dead, under the ground)
People lay flowers at her grave, tons of flowers.
(He puts a single red rose on her grave, his wedding band around the stem)
---------------
People begin to move on. Not Klaus. He never will, he vows to himself.
(I'll keep my promise, when you broke yours)
---------------
And one day he looks up and suddenly realizes that Duncan has the same big blue eyes, and they are looking straight at him.
And he runs out of the house before he does something he knows he'll regret.
(Because he has to stay true to her. Even if she's dead)
---------------
Every time he sees him, he feels faint at seeing her eyes again (even if it's not her, but her brother)
And he knows it's not going to be long before he caves in.
---------------
And then it happens. One kiss, and he's captured. His lips are as soft as hers had been, his hair as thick. (And he fools himself into thinking that she's back again, for a second)
Pulling away, he can see his shock, and he can't say anything but lean in again, praying that the illusion will hold.
(It does)
---------------
And it continues for a year, until the anniversary of her death.
(I'm sorry I forgot)
He knows he has to stop doing this
(I betrayed you, honey)
They both know the truth, and they know it has to cease
(We love you)
---------------
The pain is too much.
---------------
He can't stop it.
---------------
In honour of her, he writes two lines, the last time he would ever write anything.
I now take this knife
To rejoin my wife
---------------
And Duncan would visit their graves (next to each other, of course), and cry for the only two people he ever really loved
---------------
Life is hard. After all,
It kills you.
Blech. That was horrible.
