If only you knew the truth
Breathe No More
Hellos everyone. Sorry I haven't updated in so long. Anyway, I've decided to rewrite this! Hope you like!

BAM! The sound that broke my heart. Surprised, my instinct told me to close my eyes, so I did. I wish now that I didn't.
I had seen the bullet and I waited almost calmly for the pain to take me, for the darkness to engulf me in its loneliness. So you can imagine I was surprised that instead of old metal, I felt velvet hitting me.
I've been looking in the mirror for so long
That I've come to believe my soul's on the other side
All the little pieces fallen, shattered
Warmth was coming from the velvet, and surprised, I opened my once tightly closed eyes. Oh, how I wish the scene before my eyes was just a dream. But it wasn't. This was reality.
Time seemed to slow down just to taunt me as the bullet rushed toward you, like a hungry predator. I screamed and tried to push you away, but you just shoved me down in back of you.
Shards of me, too sharp to put back together
Too small to matter
But big enough to cut me into so many little pieces
If I try to touch her I bleed, I bleed
And I breathe, I breathe no more
Stunned, I lay there on the ground, unable to realize what had just happened. My thoughts came back to me in a rush. You, Saint Tail, no, that isn't proper, is it? Meimi. You were soft velvet on me; you were the warmth quickly flowing away into the hands of death. Ankara had to pay. Footsteps ran frantically into the distance.
"Get Ankara! Arrest him! Kill him if you have to! Find him!!" I screamed at the guards. They seemed to pause, and then ran off in the direction of the footsteps.
Take a breath and I try to draw from my spirits well
Yet again you refuse to drink like a stubborn child
Lie to me, convince me that I've been sick forever
And all of this will make sense when I get better
I know the difference between myself and my reflection
Frantically I checked your pulse and breathing. Both were fading fast. We were alone. I called 911 and wept brokenly until I felt I had cried all the moisture in my body away. "Please, Meimi, please don't die on me..." You stirred, your eyes staring at me in confusion. "Meimi! Why did you do that! Please don't die! I-I love you, Meimi." You looked at me, eyes changing from confusion to hurt.
"I love you too, but are you sure you love me, Asuka? Or do you love Saint Tail? You never loved me, you loved her..." you whispered brokenly. With those words, you died in my arms, believing I didn't love you. I wept when I thought I could weep no more. My only love had died thinking I didn't love her. I made a decision. I would follow you into the realms of the dead, and convince you that I loved you, no matter what. I raised the jeweled dagger and plunged it into my chest, in the exact same place the bullet had hit you.
I just can't help but to wonder
Which of us do you love so I bleed, I bleed
And I breathe, I breathe no
Bleed, I bleed
And I breathe, I breathe
I breathe, I breathe no more
