*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
My black backpack's stuffed with broken
dreams
Twenty bucks should get me through the week
Never said a word of discontentment
Thought it a thousand times but now I'm leaving home
It's so boring now, without Raphael or Michael around. They were always there when I needed
them. When I was feeling lonely, one of
them would just randomly show up, and I'd feel better. That's not going to happen this time
though. They haven't found me yet, so
either they haven't started looking, or they did and gave up. Of course, if they really wanted to find me,
they wouldn't have that hard of a time.
I found an apartment shortly before I moved out, so I had a place to go once I
left. It's nothing special, one bedroom,
one bath, kitchen, and a living room. I
can keep it the way I like it....really clean.
The neighbors are noisy, but I don't mind. I just pretend its Michael blasting his
music. It usually works, unless I'm not
even in the mood to hear his stuff.
Here in the shadows
I'm safe, I'm free
I've nowhere else to go but
I cannot stay where I don't belong
Another night alone. Lucky me. I miss them.
I really do. But they won't be
there. They weren't there last night, or
the night before that. They haven't been
there at all since I left. Hell, the
biggest shock would be if they were in there right now. It won't be that way though.
I walk into my dark apartment. I turned
the light on, against the nagging in my mind to keep it off. Hanging up my coat and taking off my shoes, I
put them where they should be. It felt
like there was someone else in the room, but I shrugged it off as paranoia. I was wrong though and I knew it when I felt
a pair of arms wrap around my waist.
Two months pass by and it's getting cold
I know I'm not lost, I'm just alone
But I won't cry, I won't give up, I can't
go back now
Waking up is knowing who you really are
They're here. It took them two
months, but they're here. Both of them
are. Raphael has his arms locked around
my waist, and Michael has his around my shoulders. I can feel him burying his face in my
hair. I'm pretty sure the only reason
I'm even standing at the moment is because I'm in their arms.
"Uriel, come home," Raphael whispers. I bit my lip harshly, staring at the
floor. I slowly shook my head. I can't go back. I left for a reason.
Here in the shadows
I'm safe, I'm free
I've nowhere else to go but
I cannot stay where I don't belong
"Come on, Uriel," Michael says. "We miss you..." I shake my head again. I'm not going back. "C'mon, please?" His voice is pleading. I was still intent on not going back until I
felt him lace his fingers with mine...and Raphael did the same.
In the shadows
I'm safe, I'm free
I've nowhere else to go but
I cannot stay here
I sighed, giving it up. Resting my head on Raphael's shoulder, and
nuzzled his neck softly. Both of them
tighten their grips on me, not that I care.
I never want them to let me go.
Show me the shadow where true meaning lies
So much more is made in empty eyes
