"Why couldn't you love me?"
"Because I knew it from the start.
The only thing you could ever do
is break and crush my heart."
.
"Why can't you just give me a chance
to prove the stereotype wrong.
Why do you assume that I can't change
You just can't see that we belong-"
.
"Together? How many times
have you said thatbefore?
To other girls,or other guys
I'm not going to be one more."
.
"Madeline, I'm here today
To forget about my streak.
To put the past long behind me,
to change a life that's looking bleak"
.
"You really think you're capable
of such an impossible feat?
You really think that you can heal
all the hearts you've already reaped?
.
Mine won't be as easy
you can't die if you don't fight.
I won't end up broken
Because of an oversight."
.
"Birdie, I can promise you
that I can be that guy.
The one whose always there for you.
The one who won't let you cry."
.
I saw a drop of sincerity
glistening in his eyes
Those ruby portals to another world
caught me by surprise
.
"Gilbert, what to do with you?
You've gone and gotten my heart.
I tried to resist: I tried to say no.
But I've loved you from the start."
.
I saw a spark light in his eyes
as his hand reached up and took mine
My heart beat faster, just for a moment
as I felt our fingers intertwine
.
He took a small step forwards
Our faces were inches apart
I felt his hand slide to my shoulder
he pulled me into a kiss from the heart
.
I kissed him back, i know it
Something I said I would never do
I started to think, for a moment
that his love for me was true
.
He pulled away with a cocky grin
taking a step back as he did
I could feel fireworks dying down
in my stomach, so well hid
.
"It was nice to see you Madeline,
but this isn't really goodbye.
Stop by the Beilshmidt place later
just to come in and say hi?"
.
I looked up to his shining bright face
Staring into his deep red eyes
I knew in my heart it was time
for hellos, not goodbyes
.
I did stop by your place later
at dinner time in fact
You welcomed me with open arms
and your famous lack of tact
.
We ate in silence, all of us
You, your brother, and I
And the happy little Italian
who had caught Ludwig's eye
.
We sat around after dinner
lounging on your couch
watching cartoons and fairy tales
side by side in a comfortable slouch
.
I sat up straight and raised my arms
in a small relaxing stretch
My feet found contact with the floor
leaving not far-fetched
.
He looked to me for an explanation
lost as a cat in a storm
"I'm sorry Gil, I have to go."
I answered his glance, forlorn
.
"Curfew?" He asked bluntly
I sighed and looked away
"Just an overprotective brother
nothing else to say."
.
And though it was but 8 o'clock
I made my way back home
To think about what had happened
This life where I'd been thrown.
.
I reached my house in minutes
I lived just down the street
The small, old two-story house
is where I made my retreat
.
The air was warm and calm
as I slipped inside the door
My thoughts began to wander
back to where they came before
.
Those scarlet eyes, so captivating
moonbeams spun into hair
The always cocky smile
with courage that didn't care
.
I quickly picked up my cell phone
dialing a number I'd thought i lost
Some rings turned into his voicemail
The message recorded by his boss
.
'Oh well, I'll just surprise him!"
Was all I had to say
With an idea firm set in my mind
I retired for the day
.
The sun was shining brightly
as I sat up without delay
the plan coiled up, ready to strike
had me comforted in a way
.
I dressed and prepared quickly
then set out down the street
My stride was wide and confident
not once tripping over my feet
.
I knocked quietly on the door
but no response was running
I slowly turned the handle
not aware of what was coming
,
I stepped out of the entryway
into the silent hall
until I reached a terrible scene
the one that topped them all
.
He lay there, with his smirk on his face
sleeping peacefully on the floor
With a woman wrapped in his arms
I could see through the gap in the door
.
I crept inside that little room
with its white paint job so clean
the clothing that littered the floor
had never seemed so obscene
.
A choked noise escaped my lips
Seeing her here, with him
Her luscious brown hair falling in waves
as he cheated again and again
.
I felt a cry rise through my chest
and escape out through my lips
I didn't know what was happening anymore
this heartbreak was new to my list
.
Gilbert woke up with startled eyes
The girl just kept on sleeping
As for me, well you know
I was already weeping
.
"Gilbert" I said, the word sounding choked
" Madeline? How'd you get here?"
"The are more important things than that at the moment
like who is this woman dear?"
.
"Maddie, I can- really explain"
"Well then, please do.
I trusted you, you lied to me!
So far, nothings new
.
When you asked just yesterday
why I could not love you.
I had my reasons, your reputation
You claimed you were somebody new
.
But now you've proven yourself wrong
And me a love-struck fool
Who runs around in her own dreams
Wishing people would play by the rule"
.
He stared at me, mouth wide open
eyes widened in shock
but even more as I turned away
before he could even talk
.
"Why can't I love you?
Well, I tried it from the start
But all I ever got from it
was a crushed and broken heart."
