-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you ever feel like braking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you
My soft footsteps echoed down the hallway; my hands lay clenched at my sides. My nails dug into my palms so hard it felt as though they would bleed; I felt the heat in my fists, I wanted nothing more then to just swing until I hit something, until I made something feel the pain I felt right then
Do you ever wanna run away?
Do you lock yourself in our room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming
How could I let this happen?! I started running, silvery tears streaking down my face. What had I done so wrong to deserve this? My mind paused and focused on a question: Had I done this? I froze, stopping dead in my tracks. Was I the cause? Glancing up I realized my feet had carried me to my house.
No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels alright
You don't know what it's like to be like me
To be hurt
To be lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked
When you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of braking down
But no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
I took a deep breath before turning away walking alone again. Alone... I hadn't been alone in many years. My heart pounded as I headed toward my final destination. I had to do this, no matter how painful.
Do you wanna be somebody else?
Are you sick of feeling so left out?
Are you desperate to find something more
Before your life is over
I knelt down beside him and sighed placing a hand on the cold ground; the chill in the air had grown worse. More tears came but he brushed them away without knowing it. "I came to tell you..." I trailed off.
Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around?
With the big fake smiles and stupid lies
While deep inside you're bleeding
A woman passed by and handed me a rose. "Here, you seem sad and being here... I thought you could use it." She gave me a small smile and continued on, her own eyes wet with tears. I sighed and fingered the rose.
No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels alright
You don't know what it's like to be like me
To be hurt
To be lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked
When you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
When no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
I cleared my throat slightly trying to form the words I had lost when it all began. I gripped the dirt in my hands. "I came here to tell you that... I'm sorry" No response but that was to be expected.
No one ever lies straight to your face
And no one ever stabbed you in the back
You might think I'm happy
But I'm not gonna be OK
I lifted my head, then rubbed my dirt stricken fingers across the words written on a solid gray rock. He never gave us a chance to tell him how we cared or anything, he just left us. I felt the pain in my heart surface again.
Everyone always gave you what you wanted
You never had to work it was always there
You don't know what it's like
What it's like...
To be hurt
To be lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked
When you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of braking down
But no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
"Did you have to leave me?" I questioned taking my hand off the slab of granite before me. "I didn't get to say goodbye! I wasn't even there... if I had been..."
To be hurt
To be lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked
When you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of braking down
But no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
"If I had been you would still be here!" I shouted the tears now pouring. "Hiei... I'm sorry I wasn't there to save you" I read the inscription perfectly etched into the stone. "Here rests Hiei, wielder of the Dragon of the Darkness Flame, friend of Kurama, Yusuke, Keiko, Botan, Genkai, and Kuwabara. Brother to Yukina" We had signed our names at the bottom of the tomb; it had been Yusuke's idea to put the last part. She had gone back to Makai and was none the wiser. She knew Hiei had died and cried a lot but we respected his wish and never told her.
"Hey Kurama" Yusuke was now beside me. "Let's go back to the temple..." I nodded and stood taking once last glance back at the fire demon's grave, I placed my rose on it. "Goodbye, Hiei" Yusuke nodded in agreement putting on his own flower. Together the two of us left Hiei in peace.
