k, i've never done a songfic before so here's my shot at it. the song is done by snow patrol feat. martha wainwright, if you haven't heard it go listen to it. it's great.
Kagura sat down at her desk, picking up a picture of an orange haired boy.
I find the map and draw a straight line
She sighed as she gazed at his face, memories of their childhood engulfing her.
Over rivers, farms, and state lines
The distance from here to where you'd be
It's only finger-lengths that I see
How he laughed...how they smiled...all with her...
I touch the place where I'd find your face
My finger in creases of distant dark places
Why didn't he smile for her anymore...? What could have happened to take them so far apart...?
I hang my coat up in the first bar
There is no peace that I've found so far
The laughter penetrates my silence
As drunken men find flaws in science
She couldn't think about anything else, only him. Why didn't he care for her anymore? Why did he push her out? All she wanted was to be there for him, to take care of him...
Their words mostly noises
Ghosts with just voices
To love him...
Your words in my memory
Are like music to meShe sighed heavily as she gently traced the outline of the frame. All of her tears were gone.
I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
All of them had been used on this boy...
I, I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms
She wished with all of her being, everyday that he would love her like she loved him.
After I have traveled so far
We'd set the fire to the third bar
We'd share each other like an island
Until exhausted, close our eyelids
That he would long to be with her the way she did for him...
And dreaming, pick up from
The last place we left off
Your soft skin is weeping
A joy you can't keep in
That was all she wanted...
I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
Slowly, Kagura set the picture frame back down on her desk. She stood up, unchanged and wishing just as hard as she always did. She knew he may never love her back, it didn't matter...
And I, I pray that something picks me up
and sets me down in your warm arms...
It didn't matter...
