She sits among the pieces of broken glass and photographs
reluctantly releases the last of what was her past
The young teenager stood up, shards of glass falling from her lap as she arose. This is my family, she told herself, this is my family I'm giving up. The torn up pictures of her sister littered the gound. She stared at them for a moment. When had Luna become so vicious, so hateful?
It struck without warning or did she just ignore the signs
In those dark clouds froming behind her silver lines
No, She told herself finally, Luna had always been like that. She'd always tormented me. When I was younger, I just never noticed, I was to ignorant. Well, it's her fault. I'm leaving, all because of everything she does. Her thoughts flashed back to the evening before.
The door it slammed like thunder and the tears they fell like rain
And the warning of her family whirl like a hurricane
Luna had made her angry for the last time, no matter what her parents said. Going off on her own, it wouldn't be that bad. She could handle it, she could make it on her own. She could...taers clouded her eyes. She wanted out of there, away from the spite of her big sister...or did she?
She's drowning in emotions and she cannot reach the shore
She's alive but can she survive the storm
Wiping the tears from her eyes, she gathered the things she'd need on the road. The more she thought about it, the more she wondered if she really could face the world alone. More tears filled her eyes as she stepped out of her room. She was so confused.
A broken jewel box dancer lies in pieces down the hall
She picked her way around the remains of Luna's handywork. That had been her favorite childhood possesion, totally destroyed by the person who should've been her best friend.
She's finding out the answers don't change nothing at all
It's time that she stopped searching for who's to blame or what went wrong
Maybe, she thought, it wasn't just Luna...I'm stuborn, I don't know when to give up. Sometimes I don't think before I speak. It may be me too. I can't just say it was her and leave it at that.
And the door it slammed like thunder and the tears they fell like rain
And the warnings of her family whirl like a hurricane
She's drowning in emotions and she cannot reach the shore
She's alive but can she survive the storm
Thoughts crowded her mind as she banged shut the door onher family and tears clouded her eyes as she ran down the steps of the porch. All the things they told her swirled through her mind. The anger, the sadness, the pain, the jealousy, the hurt...they were bearing down on her. She felt like she was suffocating.
Someday days just roll on by without a gray cloud in the sky
She keeps telling herself "I will make it on my own"
I can do this...I can do this...the thought rushed through her mind everyday as she wandered the world trying to find a reason to go on, looking for a purpose. ...I can do this...after all...I'm Lina Inverse...
She's alive but can she survive the storm...

Author's Note: i love this song. i wanted to use it. for some reason, Lina popped into my head...i decided to explore what could have been going through her mind when she decided to leave home. and i did leave out the parts that didn't fit, just like when i did "The One." trying to make parts that don't fit fit is just plain stupid, so don't harass me about it not being the whole song ^_^
