RavenRavenRaven (Flashback)
"RavenRavenRaven" ("Thoughts")
It's been exactly two years. Two long, painfully slow passing years.
Its late and I am tired, wish I could spark a smile
The place is flying high but right now I want to be low
Don't want to move an inch, let alone a million miles
And I don't want to go but I know I gotta go
I just want to feel alive
She sat in her dark, and eerie room. Legs crossed, starring blankly at the clock. It was a quarter past eleven at night when a light knocking was heard from the other side of her door. Ignoring the slight noise, she closed her eyes and began to breathe heavily. Wishing things would become what they once were, the time when, despite others opinions, she was actually…happy. Once again she heard a knock on her door. Sensing their concern and pity for her she again, ignored the disturbance. 'So far away…' Grabbing the necklace that hung loosely around her neck, she bit her tongue willing her emotions to a halt. Twirling the small pendant in between her fingers, she thought back to the day, two years ago…
"Where do you think you're going?" His harsh words cut through the air like a knife.
"I just need to get away." She bit back, tasting her own blood on her lips.
"You can't just drop it all and run away!" He said raising his voice as he grabbed her by the arm, not allowing her to escape.
"You can't make me stay!" She yelled back, his grip still firm.
"Watch me." A tone she had never heard from his lips before. Pushing her up against the wall, ducked his head to her level. "You can't leave me Rae, I just wont let that happen."
The times you don't want to wake up
Cause in your sleep its never over when you give up
Tossing and turning in her sleep, the images that played behind her eyelids causing silent tears to slip down from her closed eyes.
"The deal works both ways Robin." She said, her voice shaky.
"They need me Raven…" He said, obviously upset.
"What if we need you more?"
"I know you will be just fine without me." He said as he continued to pack his belongings.
The sun is always going to rise up
You need to get up, gotta keep your head up
Peaking through the unsealed edges of her curtains, the sun warmed her eyelids, causing her to awaken from her nightmare. Letting out a sigh she quickly closed her eyes again, not wanting to wake up and face another day. Alone she sat, she never moved. Sitting on her bed, the sun had long since set on her dreary day.
Look at the people all around you
The way you feel is something everybody goes through
Dark out, but you still gotta light up
You need to wake up, gotta keep your face up
"Come on Raven…I understand that it hurts…but you can't just stay in there forever…everyone gets hurt, that's why we have others around us to help." A faint but masculine voice said from the hallway.
"Just go away…" She whispered to herself. "Please, go away."
Seems like the more you grow, the more time you spend alone
Before you know it you end up perfectly on your own
The city's shining bright, but you don't see the light
She hardly left her room since…that night two years ago. She couldn't bear to see their apologetic faces, to feel their pity for her in this sad and lonely state. She wasn't a people person to begin with…but somehow when he was here, she opened up a little more. He always accounted her in their daily activities, big or small. He always made sure she was comfortable, made sure that she was secure for the time being…but now he was…"gone."
How come you concentrate on things that don't make you feel right
I just want to feel alright
It tore her heart into pieces to say in aloud. He was gone. Where to, she had no idea…he never told her. For what reason? Business, was the only answer she had ever received.
I'm looking for more than a little bit
I'm gonna have to find my way through it
Gonna leave a mark, I'm gonna set a spark
Leaving her room for the first time in three days, she sauntered up to the rooftop. The tower fell silent as it was two in the morning. Finding herself perched on the edge of the roof, she let a single silver tear run down her face, leaving it's wet trail behind. It was a cloudy night, bleak and drowning in it's own sorrow, but at the same time…at peace. Wrapping her ams around her body she looked down to the waves crashing against the cold hard stone on the ground just below her, then back up again at the deep gray sky. "I'm never going to wake up." She whispered to herself, fingering the small robin pendant that hung around her neck. The same one he had given to her the day he left. "I just want to feel alive." Swaying slightly, she let gravity take force, pulling her towards the harsh ground that lie below.
I'm coming off the ground
I wont be looking down.
