In The End

by CocoaCollidoscope

Ginny convinces herself that she deserves to live life. Inspired by Linkin Park's "In the End" which I heard today. Because it SHOULD matter.

A/N: Mebina Sobriquet - Thank you for reviewing and giving me such great suggestions. I felt boxed in when trying to rhyme or force a rhythm. Now I feel freer.

musicisbetterload - Thanks for favorite-ing You and Me, or else my Sanity. I truly appreciate it. It made me glow inside, and allowed me to upload this.

In the end

I don't know if I deserve this

The happiness, joy, relief that you're here in my arms

ALIVE

I've lost a brother, my childhood and adolescence

We'll be broken forever, and trying to mend piece by piece

I'm angry I finally have you

With myself and with the pointlessness

I've gone through hell

Torture

Bone breaking torture

Ignored greedy eyes watching, observing me

I've felt unclean before

I scrubbed myself raw until I bled

To give myself the satisfaction that he seeped out

I freed myself then

Now I feel lost

Not unclean, but not whole

Yet I've found home

I have you

I finally have you

The only thing keeping me from screaming and screaming and screaming

Is clutching tightly to you, holding on

I don't deserve this, what's between you and me

Our old souls promise me that I do

And I refuse not to try

The emptiness needs completion

Without you there's no life

The guilt is always there, for both of us

It'll never go away

But I demand we fight for our lives

We've fought for others

Now it's our turn to belong

I need you as you need me

The breath of life makes no sense otherwise

I want to build now with you

We'll be with our lost loved ones later

With them we'll have forever

In the end
