1000 Words

'I know that you're hiding things using gentle words to shelter me you words were like a dream but dreams could never fool me not that easily'

Lenne sat down, wishing Shuyin would come home. He disapeared every night, kissing her forehead and saying he'd be home soon. At first Lenne believed him, letting his words charm her. Now, all it did was irritate her, making her want to go with him.

'I acted so distant then Didn't say, good bye before you left But I was listening You fight your battles far form me Far too easily'

"Lenne, my love. . . " Lenne turned her back as her love walked into the house. He sighed, and turned back to the door. "I know you're upset, but please, forgive me," Lenne bowed her head as Shuyin's footsteps led towards the door.

'Save your tears cause I'll come back I could hear that you whispered as you walked through that door But still I swore To hide the pain, when I turn back the pages'

As the door creaked shut, Lenne ran towards it, crying. She opened it loudly, calling out to a distant Shuyin, hoping to God he could hear her tears of pain.

'Shouting might have been the answer What if I cried my eyes out And begged you not to part? But now I'm not afraid To say, whats in my heart'

Shuyin turned around abrutly. Lenne ran into his arms, crying, telling him everything and anything. And he stayed still, silencing her with a kiss.

'Cause 1000 words Call out through the ages They'll fly to you Even though I can't see I know they're reaching you Suspended on silver wings'

Shuyin looked into Lenne's eyes, and she looked back, and for a moment, they exchanged a life of love to each other, saying with their heart what their mouths didn't say.

'Oh 1000 words, 1000 embraces Will cradle You Making all of your weary days Seem far away They'll hold you forever'

Shuyin looked over, a group of gunners aimed their guns toward them. In his mind he swore. His plan had failed. He had failed. He had failed Lenne. Lenne looked at Shuyin all the while, confused, but she knew. She knew he really loved her.

'Oh 1000 words Have never been spoken They'll fly to you They'll carry you home And back into my arms Suspended on silver wings'

The sounds of gunshots pierced Lenne's ears, and the bullet hit her thigh. She squeaked, and Shuyin tried to break her fall. Lenne heard Shuyin hit the cold ground, and she panicked. It was going to be over. . .

'And 1000 words Call out through the ages They'll cradle you Making all of your lonely into homely days They'll hold you forever'

Shuyin tried to grab his lover, but both were too weak to move. As the darkness began to flood Lenne's mind, she wanted to scream. She wanted to cry out. And the last tear fell.

'Oh, 1000 words'
