Silent As Stone

by Moonchild10

A memorial for Terra, for Terra haters and fans alike. A collection of one-shot and poetic tributes to the fallen Titan, portraying her as a hero, as a villian, and as a friend.

3. Control

Disclaimer: Blarg!

This is a poem called 'Control' ,from Terra's POV, just her feeling guilty for what she's going to do very soon. More angst. Probably takes place shortly before 'Betrayal'. I saw that episode (for the millionth time) this weekend. The end always makes me cry. Poor BB.

This poem also sounds a bit like one about self-destruction. Hmm. Terra, is there something you're not telling us? (j/k)

The more I fight the pain
The more it builds inside
The more I need to tell you
The more I try to hide

Just a little farther
Just a moment to hold on
Just a little piece of nothing
Remember me when I'm gone

You watch me make the same mistakes
Unaware as I fight this hell
But you don't know the pain I hide
Inside my fragile shell

For every drop of blood
I build upon my sin
Someday soon I'm getting out
When will the end begin?

For every tear I shed
I start to fade away
For every moment that I waste
I can't find the words to say

For every feeling I suppress
I slip further in
I don't know if I can fight this
Let the pain begin

For every friendship broken
Inside I burn a hole
I can't go on fighting this
Don't let me lose control!
