Chapter 37
Gaara
Part way through the night I heard movement. I sat up and listened to the noise. There were light footsteps followed by the sliding of a glass door, and finally a scraping sound on the wall. I got off my bed and stepped out onto my balcony. I looked around and saw that the glass doors to Suna's room were open. I walked over but she wasn't in her room. I walked back towards the glass doors that were connected to my room when I heard something. A voice. It was softly singing. I looked around but no one. I looked up. I had heard a climbing sound. I quietly climbed up the wall.
"You're too important for anyone…You play the role of all you long to be…But I, I know who you really are…You're the one who cries when you're alone…But where will you go…With no one left to save you from yourself…You can't escape…You can't escape…You think that I can't see right through your eyes…Scared to death to face reality…No one seems to hear your hidden cries…You're left to face yourself alone…But where will you go *where will you go?With no one left to save you from yourself…You can't escape the truth…I realize you're afraid *I realize*But you can't abandon everyone…You can't escape…You don't want to escape…I am so sick of speaking words that no one understands…Is it clear enough that you can't live your whole life all alone…I can hear you in a whisper…But you can't even hear me screaming…Where will you go *where will you go?*With no one left to save you from yourself…You can't escape the truth…I realize you're afraid *I realize*But you can't reject the whole world…You can't escape…You won't escape…You can't escape…You don't want to escape…"
There on the roof top was a female. I quietly got my footing. The wind blew her hair around but it was too dark to see the colour. She had a long shirt on. She wore leggings with shorts over top. Her hip sack was open slightly and she was wearing simple shoes. I stood there. Waiting for her to notice me, but she didn't… Instead I heard a muffled sound… like tears… I took a step forwards but it was too loud and she noticed me. She took off instantly. Jumping across the roof tops. I sighed. It was too dark to track her properly, who ever she was… I'd have to send out a search party tomorrow then. I climbed back down to the balcony and re-entered the room. I went towards my bed to find a small note.
Too many city blocks with crumbled walks and blue-collar spendersToo many boarded shops, shops and no-where job for faded contendersI close my eyes and let go and nobody knows youI close my eyes and let go and no one controls youI keep staring at the stars, waiting for my life to change like dust in gravityLying with my head above the clouds, I don't want a life in vain like dust in gravityLiving for the dawn keeps me hanging onHole in my pocket got me locked inside a job that I hateI got a dream about a scene but I'm still stuck in my stateI close my eyes and let go and nobody knows you (No, No, No)I close my eyes and let go and no one controls youI keep staring at the stars, waiting for my life to change like dust in gravityLying with my head above the clouds, I don't want a life in vain like dust in gravityLiving for the dawn keeps me hanging on, on, on, on, on… hanging on…I keep staring at the stars, waiting for my life to change like dust in gravityLying with my head above the clouds, I don't want a life in vain like dust in gravityLiving for the dawn keeps me hanging on…I read this, but I couldn't comprehend what was meant by it at the time… I rested my head and waited for morning…
