While She Was Drowning
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* You find yourself falling down / Your hopes in the sky / But your heart like grape gum on the ground *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
There seems so many things wrong with the picture before me. So many things have gone wrong. Had you asked me two weeks ago what I would be doing this day I think I would have just shrugged thinking that I would be home like any other day with my family. My family.how much I've taken that word for granted. I'd never have thought that I would be standing here at my daughter's funeral.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
And you try to find yourself / in abstractions of religion / And the cruelty of everyone else
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Everyone is here. They've come to pay their respects, but I could careless. Their damn respects won't bring her back. I wish they would just let us grieve in peace. I guess that's unfair to say though because everyone here loved Bra and everyone will miss her. I pull Bulma closer to my side and feel her small shudders as she ties desperately to control herself. I know if I weren't here she'd already be in hysterics.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
And you wake to realize / Your standard of living somehow got stuck on survive
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
But I can't control myself. I long ago felt the sting of hot tears gather in my eyes and I fought with my inner demons that still thought me too prideful to cry, but they fought in vain a losing battle. I long ago stopped caring about my pride when my real pride had died. Strong.yes I am still strong, for the rest of my family. I have to be, they need me the most now. And I have to be their for them since I wasn't there for her, but I wasn't the only she had needed. How could I not have realized that she loved him? I knew there was an attraction, but I refused to think that it could go any farther. I have never much liked Kakarrot's second son. My Baby deserved so much better than him, but like they say love is blind. And her love was even blinder. While she: admired, cherished, loved and adored him, he was: chasing, tumbling, ensnaring, and getting engaged. He broke her heart so many times and no one even noticed. And we went on about our lives walking day by day past her anguished eyes, while she was falling, while she was drowning in a loveless sea of torment with no way to escape.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* When you're standing in deep water / And you're bailing yourself out with a straw / And when you're drowning in deep water / And you wake up making love to a wall / Well its these little times that help to remind / Its nothing without love *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Bra couldn't free herself from the chains of love that only existed in her own mind. Bra was so caught up in love that she lost sight of those who already loved her us, her family, and herself. She cut herself off from most of her friends except chrome dome's .I choke back sobs as my once again dry eyes overflow and I am over come with emotion as I listen to Marron, Bra's truest friend, sing the most beautiful version of Ave Maria that I have ever heard. Her angelic voice floats above our heads and our sadness, straight to the heavens. Tears stream down Marron's cheeks as she struggles to sing the last few words. My heart aches with untold agony as Marron's soul filled voice echoes in my heart and through my soul. I hope that Bra can hear her from where she is. Marron was always there even when Bra must have thought she was alone. When everyone else faded, falling away Marron refused to collapse just as she stands tall now with salty tears running down her tattered face and her greatest friend in a casket to be lowered into the ground.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* You wake up to realize your only friend / Has never been yourself or anyone who cared in the end / That's when suddenly everything fades or falls away / 'Cause the chains which once held us are only the chains that we've made *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I break away from my wife's clingy grasp as they begin to lower Bra's casket into the ground. All eyes are on me as I walk over to Bra's casket and place one final kiss on the lid. Everyone tenses as I walk past my daughter's resting place towards the general group. Fearing the worst they look back and forth nervously between themselves. They fear that the loss of my daughter has caused me to lose my sanity, but my anguished thoughts are so clear that I wish I truly was insane.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* When you're standing in deep water / And you're bailing yourself out with a straw / And when you're drowning in deep water / And you wake up making love to a wall / Well its these little times that help to remind / Its nothing without love *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I walk past the group towards the girl that stands slightly apart from everyone else. Eighteen steps forward when she sees where I'm headed, but Krillan stops her; I guess he knows me better than I thought. No one can figure out what I'm doing, not even I, until I've done it. I throw my arms around Marron and pull her into my embrace. I place my tear stained cheek against hers and whisper into her ear between shaky breaths, "Thank you Marron. I hope you know that she loved you very much." Marron threw herself farther into my embrace and collapsed, sobbing into my shirt. "Why Vegeta? Why? How could she? I loved her. I miss her so much. Why did she do it Vegeta?"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* We've compromised our pride / And sacrificed our health / We have to demand / Not from each other / But more from ourselves *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"You know why Marron. To Bra love was everything. To her its nothing without love" Marron nodded knowing instantly what I meant. She knew about Bra's love for Goten. And she Bra enough to know better than to ask why. She knew Bra loved in vain and that to Bra life wasn't worth living without love. After all its nothing without love.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* 'Cause when you're standing in deep water / And you're bailing yourself out with a straw / When you're drowning in deep water / And you wake up making love to a wall / Well its these little time that help to remind / Its nothing without love, love, love *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Though my heart and soul are grieving my mind is calculating. I love daughter too much to lose her.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Its nothing without love *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I may have lost her, but not for long.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Its nothing without love
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
************************************************************************
Please review! I know that I didn't show Vegeta finding the note, but he did and everyone knows about it know. I'm having a crisis! I don't know who Bra should end up with. I was thinking she could forgive Goten (I personally don't know about that one), learn to love someone else(Gohan for example), or stay single(its starting to look very good). What do you think?
