Telling me to go
But hands beg me to stay
Your lips say that you love
Your eyes say that you hate…
Sciezska could feel the tears welling in her eyes. There was Riza, saying with a straight face, that it was over. She couldn't believe it. Sciezska loved Riza, a feeling she thought was mutual. Yet, here they were. Tears blurred Sciezska's vision. She uttered a low sob and turned to run, but something caught her hand. Riza pulled Sciezska into her arms and embraced her in a passionate kiss. For a moment, Sciezska closed her eyes and let all her pain melt away, but when she opened them, only Riza's cold stare was there to greet her. Sciezska stared for a moment, confused. Her confusion, quickly turned to anger. What did she want! First, she kissed me and then she stares at me with anything but love in her eyes! Then, Sciezska's thoughts finally found their way to her mouth.
"What do you want!" she screamed.
There's truth in your lies
Doubt in your faith
What you've built you laid to waste
There's truth in your lies
Doubt in your faith
All I've got's what you didn't take…
"There was a time when all I wanted was you. But n-" Riza replied evenly, attempting to keep control of her emotions.
"But what! But you don't love me anymore! But you loved him! But you were just using me while waiting for him! But what, Riza! But what."
"But now I'm not sure what I want! I loved you, isn't that enough!?"
"There's some truth in that; You did love me! But for how long, Riza? How long have you been seeing him?"
"A.. a… A few months." The blonde stammered
"A few months! A few months! You can't even give me a definite answer! I gave you all I had and you couldn't give me a definite answer!"
Don't lie
So I, I won't be the one
Be the one to leave this
In pieces
And you, you will be alone
Alone with all your secrets
And regrets
"What about us, Riza? Nobody ever knew, did they? Did you tell him!" screamed a distraught Sciezska.
"No, Sciezska. I don't hate you; you and I both know that it's best if we kept our love a secret."
"Is that what I am to you, a dirty little secret?"
"No, Sciezska, you know it's for the best. I have to leave you."
"You're lying! You are going to regret this!" Sciezska furiously bellowed, "He won't understand you or love you, not like I do! You'll be with him and you'll still feel lonely inside. All because you left me! That's right; you left me! She screamed manically as she raced out of the building.
You promise me the sky
Then toss me like a stone
You wrap me in your arms
And chill me to the bone
There's truth in your lies
Doubt in your faith
All I've got's what you didn't take…
Sciezska ran through the town and into a park, where she collapsed on a bench and wept. She remembered the times when they first met, and Riza said they'd be together forever. Then her thoughts turned bitter. She pictured all the recent times she seen Riza wince when she said I love you, the times they'd hold each other and receive no warmth. "I should have seen this coming." Sciezska muttered through heartbroken sobs, "She hasn't loved me for a long time…"
So I, I won't be the one And you, you will be alone Don't lie
Be the one to leave this
In pieces
Alone with all your secrets
And regrets
Riza stood motionless in the hall. Sciezska had reacted just the way she had expected her to, but for some reason, Riza couldn't get over it. It's better this way she kept telling herself, but to no avail. Deep down inside, Riza knew she was lying. Eventually, she let her emotions get the better of her and a tear rolled down her cheek. Sciezska was right, she did feel alone. Here she stood, alone, with her heart in pieces.
