Emotionless tears
Emotionless sorrow
I survived today.
But what about tomorrow?
Jem lay on her cot, head against the hard pillows, listening to the sweet, cold silence, strange rhymes twisting and turning inside her head.
My father is dead
My mother won't speak
This burst of unhappiness
Is making me weak
Her cheek still stung from the strike of Trinity's hand, even though it had been over three days since it had happened.
I hate this sorrow
It's so inhumane
And I swear to you
It will drive me insane
Maybe it was just the lack of food and water, maybe laying down for three days without moving was causing her to hallucinate.
I'm all out of emotion
I can't even cry
if this doesn't end soon
Someone's gonna have to die
Jem cringed at the last sentence, opening her dark eyes quickly. Someone's gonna have to die indeed.she sighed. Reality bound Jem, growing up in such a place, where she'd have to stay alert all the time just so she wouldn't be killed. She knew she would never get her father back, because he was dead. If only her mother would come out of her reverie and speak to her, it would all be okay again. Not the same, or happy like it was before Neo died.but okay.
Although she was hoping upon hope that trinity would stop isolating herself and start speaking again, a dreadful, nasty voice sneered at her from the very depths of her reality bound mind. "But what if she doesn't start speaking to you?" It spat nastily, sending shivers down her spine. "What if she doesn't shake herself out of her reverie.what, are you gonna have to kill her?, huh? Huh?"
Jem let a little sob escape her chapped lips, she desperately wanted her mother back, it hurt her so much to see Trinity in so much pain, and one way or another.it was going to have to be stopped. Suddenly Jem's thoughts were interrupted by the door to her cabin being pushed open, she gasped slightly in surprise and looked up sharply.
Link stood in the doorway, frowning at her. He'd stayed on the ship, even after Neo had been brought to his death, always loyal to tank and dozer. "Jem.I think you should come and have something to eat" he announced readily, standing in the doorway. She just sighed and nodded, knowing it was no use arguing, and also repulsed by the idea of starving to death. She unsteadily climbed off the bed and to her feet, using one of the steel walls for support, and then followed Link to the mess hall.
The rest of the crew sat in silence, heads bent over their bowls. Morpheus stood against the wall, gazing blankly into space, not eating.
Jem reached for a bowl and turned the handle on the food dispenser, watching as the familiar white goop flowed into it.
She ate in silence along with everyone else, looking up every few mouthfuls to observe the figures at the table. They all seemed so depressed, and she knew exactly why. Maybe she could put them all out of their misery, along with the person who was causing it.
No.that's damn crazy, she hissed at herself, feeling the tears well up again. She didn't realize she had spoken aloud until she noticed everyone staring at her. Slowly, Jem shook her head and stood up, leaving the mess hall without even washing her bowl out.

The corridors were cold again, they gave her an eerie sense of de JA vu. Jem crept along the halls until she reached the place where her cabin was, but didn't go inside. Instead, she wandered a few feet to the right and stood outside her mothers cabin. She opened the door slowly, a shiver passing through her upon seeing the lone figure lying on the bed. Jem crept up to her mother, placing a hand on top of her head just like last time, slowly, she stroked her raven hair off her pale cheeks and sighed. It seemed eerily calm in the room now. Jem could tell that Trinity wasn't asleep, but she wasn't talking either. What she had to do seemed just natural to her now. She refused to see her mother in this much pain, and since she wouldn't come out of her reverie.there was only one more option left.
Jem leaned down and kissed her mothers hair gently, "Its okay mom, you're pain won't last much longer.I'm sorry is has to be like this.but it's the only way." And With that, she straitened up and turned away, pulling the heavy steel door open and stepping out of the room.
