Every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my s c r e a m s

"Please stop!" I'd scream. You heard nothing. The knife would come down on my s h o u l d e r and I'd let out another scream and whimper. The knife left marks not only in my body, but in my s h i r t too.

The next morning you'd give me money to but another shirt. You'd get me roses before you left work in the morning- my favorite c o l o r. Always red.

Red like the blood that stains my clothes.

You thought that it was just our l i t t l e secret.

But you're never sober anymore- so I bet you can't even remember what I looked like, can you? You started once, only a bottle or two. Then you started drinking more and more. Money came in faster for both of us, so we could afford more then ever. You took advantage of that and d r u n k as many as you could until you mind spaced out.

Then you'd hit me… or stab me. Sometimes if you were happy, then you'd r a p e me.

Not once would there be a night when you'd just leave me alone. Was I supposed to take this as you knew that I'd never leave you?

Wishing my wrists were bleeding to keep from the pain and b e a t i n g s

I tried killing myself once to get away from you. Dosed some heavy pain killers, then slit my wrists. It didn't work though, apparently Zeus wanted me to stay with you and suffer.

All I can do is stay with you, right? I know that one night you'll come home sober and relies that I'm no longer there. Then you'll ask why am I not there? Then they'll tell you killed me. Won't you be surprised.

I love you, Axel. Maybe that's why I can't leave you for anything. You used to be sweet and such a lady's man until I mentioned his name. You always have to take things so dramatically- that's what first attracted you to me, and that's why I can't let go?

Nothing I can do- a total e c l I p s e of the heart

A/N: A short drabble I was suddenly inspired with. The girl, of course, is Yuffie. Because she pwns. I was tempted to put in several other couples, but meh. There was hints of Axel/Roxas in here. Go back and look at all of the underlined words up and down- they spell a word ;) R&R!
