Hear that, mon ange?
No, maybe not...
It's a rather silent -crack- if you're not listening.
My heart...
It's breaking.
See the pieces on the floor,
The ones embedded in my flesh.
They're never healing.
I wish they would.
(Do you feel alive? I know I don't...)
You're killing me, mon ange.
For no man can survive a shattered heart.
The whips, the lashings.
I can take those.
I hated the men they were given by.
I can'thate you.
(Is the sun still shining? I wouldn't know...)
You were so naive, mon ange,
Unaware of my love, of my complete devotion to you.
I'd wash your feet in a second.
I am no angel to you.
You were always my higher;
Always above me.
But there again-
Who is below a demon such as me?
(Have you found happiness? I could never give you that...)
We were the rose and the nightingale, mon ange-
Never meant to be.
I can only hope you'll get a fresh start with him...
You know, we all have our genesis.
Some may come later than others.
Our beginnings, our ends... birth and death have never been their dictators.
When you realize you have nowhere to go, no one to see...
That's your ruination.
Well, I'm far past that point.
I can't go home...
That's wherever you are.
And life is a little duller without somewhere to dwell.
But when was it bright before?
(Have your fears disappeared? Mine are still here...)
I hope Heaven is everything you hoped, mon ange-
I know Hell is worse than I thought.
Pain, endless pain—
Love is far more painful than anything I've endured.
But I'm surviving it.
Day by day, crack by crack,
My heart is getting weaker as they pass.
But I'm thinking of you-
There's never a day when I don't.
(Were you able to let go? God knows I'm still trying...)
I wish the best for you, mon ange,
I know the world can be cruel to the broken.
I know the world can be cruel to us.
