"Maria... Maria... Why?" He whispered, stroking her beautiful face as they clung onto each other. "Jack, please, I-I-I couldn't bear to watch you die. I'm sorry ... so s-s-s-sorry...." He put fingers to her lips. "Shhh... no apologies, luv, I love you Maria, from the Moment I met you..." She turned to face him. "Jack, no I'm sorry, you can't sail in the Caribbean anymore, honestly, I am, soo sorry, I t-t-tried..." He captured her lips in his. She clung even closer to him, and they stayed that way for the hour.

"Maria Fauntez, is to be hung today for said crimes. These crimes include..." The list went on. Maria stared ahead, and let a small tear trickle down her face. She couldn't bear to watch Jack, as Norrington and his men personally held him.

"I love you Captain Jack Sparrow." She called to him, still not bearing to look. "I will always love you Maria Fauntez, until the end of time itself!" He called back up to her.

Before Norrington could stop it, Will immediately flung his sword into his back. He yelped in pain as he fell forward, releasing Jack he ran to Will quickly. But not quick enough.

The lever was pulled, and Maria was left to hang there...

When Norrington took Maria away to her separated Cell, all the way at the end of the hall, Jack finally did it. He cried. He didn't care anymore, after Maria, what would his point in life be? He knew she felt the same. There was no winning in this situation.

Jack sat in his own dark corner of the cell, when he heard Maria singing... It was a song Jack had never heard before, and he listened intently...

heaven bend to take my hand

And lead me through the fire

Be the long awaited answer

To a long and painful fight

Truth be told I've tried my best

But somewhere along the way

I got caught up in all there was to offer

And the cost was so much more than I could bear

Though I've tried, I've fallen...

I have sunk so low

I messed up

Better I should know

So don't come round here And tell me I told you so...

We all begin out with good intent

When love was raw and young

We believed that we could change ourselves

The past could be undone

But we carry on our backs the burden

Time always reveals

In the lonely light of morning

In the wound that would not heal

It's the bitter taste of losing everything

I've held so dear.

I've fallen...

I have sunk so low

I've messed up

Better I should know

So don't come round here

And tell me I told you so...

Heaven bend to take my hand

I've nowhere left to turn

I've lost to *those I thought were friends

To everyone I know

Oh they turned their heads embarrassed

Pretend that they don't see

That it's one *misstep one slip before you know it

And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed

Though I've tried, I've fallen...

I have sunk so low

I've messed up

Better I should know

so don't come round here

And tell me I told you so...

I have messed up

Better I should know

so don't come round here

and tell me I told you so...

"Maria..." he whispered. Finding himself crying again. He joined her in his own song.

All day staring at the ceiling Making friends with shadows on my wall All night hearing voices telling me that I should get some sleep because tomorrow might be good for something Hold on Feeling like I'm headed for a breakdown And I don't know why But I'm not crazy; I'm just a little unwell I know right now you can't tell But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see A different side of me I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired I know right now you don't care But soon enough you're gonna think of me And how I used to be...me And I know, I know they've all been talking about me I can hear them whisper And it makes me think there must be something wrong with me Out of all the hours thinking Somehow I've lost my mind... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And so the night went on, through there pain, and tears, both suffering equally, knowing how they were to loose each other in the morn...
