~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How can you see Into my eyes like
Open doors, leading You down into my core,
Where I've become so numb, without a soul.
My spirit sleeping somewhere cold, until you find
It there, and lead it back home
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The pain had been unbearable, but this was worse. Much worse. Jack had saw Rose that night, had felt her. That was when the change was made, when his pain had changed to numbness…
Since then, Jack had ceased to feel the most menial of emotions. The worst of it was that there was no way out. He sometimes wondered if this was how Rose had felt. Trapped, numb………
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wake me up inside
Wake me up inside
Call my name and save me from the dark
Bid my blood to run
Before I come undone
Save me from the nothing I've become
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He stared into the night sky. It was an inky black night, starless, and cold. Jack smiled sardonically. Of course the night was starless, the last star had fallen the night Rose died.
Rose……Her name stirred so many emotions in him, but they felt superficial, he knew they weren't real. Not the way his pain had been……. His love was still there. Jack could still feel the raw emotion in his heart, Rose was still in his heart…….
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now that I know what I'm without
You can't just leave me
Breathe into me
And make me real
Bring me to life
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jack leaned against the building. The cold wind blew his hair across his face. Jack made no move to try to stop it. He didn't care. The state of his hair was nothing compare to the turmoil his heart was in.
Every breath was a struggle, Jack felt as if he were dying. Slowly little, by little his heart seemed to be freezing, the same way it had that night…………..
April 14, 1912.
Jack felt the cold creep into his body, as it slowly chilled his blood, slowing his breathing……He tightly gripped Rose's hand. All he could feel was her. She was his life, and he didn't care what happened, as long as he could feel her alive.
"I'll never let go," she whispered. Jack smiled and kissed her hand. It took so much effort to move…
He laid his head on the board. "I'm just gonna lay here a minute, until they come back for us," he said slowly. Rose nodded, tightening her grip on his hand.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wake me up inside
Wake me up inside
Call my name and save me from the dark
Bid my blood to run
Before I come undone
Save me from the nothing I've become
Bring me to life

That night had been hell. So was this one. Jack had woken up in a boat, cold and alone. That had been the worst part, being alone. He hadn't noticed the cold, the pain had been to excruciating, the ache in his heart.
Jack sighed. Why did she have to leave him? She had promised to hold on, but she hadn't. No, that wasn't right. He couldn't blame Rose. It Hadn't been her fault. She hadn't wanted to die.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Frozen inside without your touch
Without your love
Darling only you
Are the life among
The dead.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He just felt so frozen without her, so empty. Jack squinted as the light of the rising sun filled his eyes. Stunned, he realized he had stood on that street corner all night.
Walking slowly back to his apartment, Jack heard a voice. Rose's voice.
Jack. He whirled around, searching for it. "Rose?" he called. The few people already on the streets looked at him oddly. I love you, don't let go. You have to go on.
Tears filled his eyes. Rose. God, how he loved her. Jack nodded. "I love you too, Rose. So much. I'll never let go."
Never, Jack. One day we'll be together. "Never," Jack whispered. Turning to continue his walk, Jack felt a sense of peace fill him. Smiling for the first time since that night, he strode down the street.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wake me up inside
Wake me up inside
Call my name and save me from the dark
Bid my blood to run
Before I come undone
Save me from the nothing I've become
Bring me to life

Hope that was as good as the others. Sorry it took so long! Review.
