Because I Left You

When the sun fell from the sky and the moon followed its path That's when I left you Now I have no place to go No reason to be And it's all because I left you I tried a million things and lived a million lives And nothing would let me subsist Is there any way out of this?

When the wind blew its last breath and the sky turned to gray That's when I left you The tears scarred my face And I'm left for dead And all because I left you I tried a million things and lived a million lives But nothing can compare to what I found in you Is there any way out of this?

Remy once again left the mansions grounds and began to wander around. He stopped in front of the run down motel that had become his home. He found no peace in his solitude. He stopped visiting her after that last night. He paid his due with the money he had stolen before he lost his sanity and was able to pay off the debts of the motel, eating little since he was rarely hungry.

His auburn stubble grew scraggly and gave his face a hellish appearance; his demon eyes lost its shine and its glint. He sat there and did nothing but think. Three weeks later sitting in the same armchair he ran out of ways to live his life. He did nothing but think and suffer and all because of his stupidity. A knock on the door made him answer.

"It's open." In walked someone he hadn't spoken to in the months that passed. He stared into her eyes and felt shame envelop him, he cursed under his breath and turned away, immediately aware of his horrid appearance.

"You left me." Her voice was low and so full of pain that he wanted to reach out to her, but refused. He couldn't do it; he couldn't stop himself from lashing out at her instead.

"Yes, I left you, doesn't dat make you tink dat maybe I don't want to have anyting to do with you? Or do I have to be more clear." The anger in his voice caused Rogue to recoil.

"You can't mean that Remy." She said softly. His harsh chuckle felt like a splash of ice cold water.

"I mean everyting I say, you know I don't lie. If I was you I'd get out of here, cause your wastin' my time chere."

Rogue looked at him, wanting to yell at him; to hurt him like he was hurting her. To tell him that she knew he was lying, that he was miserable just like she was but her pride wouldn't allow it. The hot tears she had tried to fight were momentarily gone.

"Fine! Leave! Run away like you've always done, ah don't want a coward. You forced me to love ya and now that you have it you want to leave? Do it with mah blessin'." She turned and ran out of the hotel room. Remy stared at her back, the memory of her tear stained faced, the last one he would hold.

That was the last night he stayed in the motel room. Rogue stared out her window and wondered where he would be, she cried for the last time that night. She would never cry for him again.
