Chapter 4

"'Oh look at how she listens/ She says nothing of what she thinks/ She just goes stumbling through her memories/ Starring out on to Grey Street/ She thinks, "Hey, How did I come to this?/ I dream myself a thousand times around the world,/ But I can't get out of this place"

There's an emptiness inside her/ And she'd do anything to fill it in/ But all the colors mix together--to grey/ And it breaks her heart'"

Ami stood in front of the mirror, just starring at herself, what was she? She just didn't know anymore. All she knew was she was Ami Ciel Jackson and the rest of the world wasn't. Tears fell down her face, she put her hands on the rim of the sink and leaned on it, letting the tears fall into the basin. She didn't wipe the tears away, they were proof that part of her was still human, still with feeling. All she heard was her heart, beating, but why? What was eating her up? Why did she feel so weak?

"'How she wishes it was different/ She prays to God most every night/ And though she swears it doesn't listen/ There's still a hope in her it might/ She says, "I pray But they fall on deaf ears,/ Am I supposed to take it on myself?/ To get out of this place"

There's a loneliness inside her/ And she'd do anything to fill it in/ And though it's red blood bleeding from her now/ It feels like cold blue ice in her heart/ When all the colors mix together--to grey/ And it breaks her heart'"

After sitting on the floor of the bathroom for what could have been forever and just as easily one second, starring and her left wrist, she took the razor in her right hand slit her wrist open. This is what she needed, pain that she could understand. The emotional pain that was tearing her apart was just there and she didn't know why, at least she knew why her wrist hurt so much. A little voice in the very back of her mind said, "What are you doing?! Don't do this to yourself!" But the tears and sobs caused by the emotional pain drowned it out.

"'There's a stranger speaks outside her door/ Says take what you can from your dreams/ Make them as real as anything/ It'd take the work out of the courage/ But she says, "Please/ There's a crazy man that's creeping outside my door,/ I live on the corner of Grey Street/ and the end of the world

There's an emptiness inside her/ And she'd do anything to fill it in/ And though it's red blood bleeding from her now/ It's more like cold blue ice in her heart/ She feels like kicking out all of the windows/ And setting fire to this life/ She could change everything about her/ using colors bold and bright/ But all the colors mix together--to grey/ And it breaks her heart/ It breaks her heart/ To grey'"

Ami suddenly heard something she knew was bad, footsteps. Who was it? The voice in the back her screamed, "I told you not to do this didn't I? And now someone's going to find out!"
