My Immortal
CHAPTER SIX: YOU DON'T SEE ME
"This is the place where I sit,
This is the part where I love you too much,
This is as hard as it gets
Cause I'm getting tired of pretending I'm tough.
I'm here if you want me,
I'm yours, you can hold me,
I'm empty and achin' and tumbling and breaking,
Cause you don't see me
And you don't need me
And you don't love me
The way I wish you would,
The way I know you could.
I dream a world where you understand
But I dream a million sleepless nights
I dream of fire when your touching my hand
But it twists into smoke when I turn on the light.
I'm speechless and faded, its too complicated,
Is this how the book ends,
Nothing but good friends
Cause you don't see me
And you don't need me
And you don't love me
The way I wish you would,
The way I know you could.
This is the place in my heart,
This is the place where I'm falling apart
Isn't this just where we met
Is this the last chance that I'll ever get?
I wish I was lonely
Instead of just only
Crystal and see through and not enough to you.
Cause you don't see me
And you don't need me
And you don't love me
The way I wish you would,
The way I know you could.
Cause you don't see me
And you don't need me
And you don't love me
The way I wish you would,
The way I know you could.
~You Don't See Me by: Josie and the Pussycats~
Yugi stared blankly at the space where Yami had just been standing. His whole world seemed to be caving in around him, while his heart was sucked into a black whole forming in his chest. He had been so close to get his other half back; he had been standing right there. But he turn and fled offer his light nothing more then a sparse glance. It was almost as if Yami hadn't even seen him.
Yugi fought back the tears as reality beat down upon him. Yami had looked at him, looked right at him, and still turned his back. Maybe everyone was wrong, maybe Yami really did hate him for what he had said. And if that was the case, he didn't care enough to be hurt.
"Yugi…" Tea began in a soft voice, placing her hand on his trembling shoulder.
But Yugi didn't want the comfort of his friends. He only wanted one thing, and that one thing had look through him as though he was made of nothing but crystal. Jerking away from Tea's touch, he let the tears start spilling down his face. They didn't know. None of them knew what it felt like to lose a part of you. Not just a friend, but a whole chunk of your soul. His friends stared back at him, confusion and sorrow evident in their eyes, and it nearly drove Yugi over the edge. He turned from them with a strangled cry and began running towards home. From behind him he heard Joey call out, but he wasn't about to turn back. Yugi didn't stop running until his face was buried in his pillow in his own bedroom. A bedroom that he shared with Yami.
He couldn't believe that he had lost his yami, that the other part of him hated him enough to run away. It was almost as if everything they ever shared had meant absolutely nothing to him. He never wanted to move from the spot where he sat curled up on his bed. His heart was breaking, falling away piece by piece and nobody, not even his dark half cared.
Yugi took a shuddering breath and wondered if he would always feel as lonely as he did at that moment. He felt empty, incomplete. There was a hole in his chest that remained vacant and ached with loneliness. If he could take back everything he said to Yami that night, Yugi would be willing to give up anything in order to do it. But you could never take back time. Life was a book and once the chapter was lived it was in print, and there was no hitting the delete button and starting over again.
Curling up into a ball, Yugi started to drift off into the inviting sleep. Nothing could make him feel whole again.
Nothing but Yami.
