A jail of crystal – Chapter three

the son used is: Maybe I'll go, By Lene Marlin

You think you've made it everything's going so fine
But then appears someone who wanna
Tear you down
Wanna rip you off those few nice things you've found
When and if you hit the ground.
Then it's falling kinda hard

She had nothing.

Nothing to rely, nothing to hold onto.

Not a single word to believe in, not a coherent thought to trust.

Nothing but her bare self and her bare body.

Nothing but that wintry stone.

And so? How was it possible to bear that shattered reality?

How was it possible to keep on breathing?

She needed something. She needed it more than her life.

Because it actually was her life.

Cause all you do is being yourself
Trying everything to succeed somehow.
But that's not the way things are right now.
Feeling kinda lost.

Sakura felt like going insane.

She was dragged farther and farther from the surface, sinking in a bloody ocean of dark thoughts.

Bloody.

Bloody as the eyes of her jailer.

Bloody.

Bloody as her painful contemplations, bloody as her numbed view which reminded her of how foolish she was.

What was wrong?

What was wrong with those thoughts?

Was she really going crazy, or… were they just the last hints of her sanity?

It was hard to tell.

Well, if Sakura was another person, in another situation, she would have thought she was just getting mad and she would have been horrified by her nonsense.

But, since she was just herself and she was in that situation, she didn't blame herself.

She couldn't blame herself.

Was it wrong being attached to life?

Was it wrong wanting to break that painful solitude?

The solitude.

The scaring sound of silence.

Nothing but those four soiled walls hidden by the darkness

Nothing but her breath, her pulse, her sobs.

Nothing but her and her alone..

It was just Sakura and Sakura.

Sakura with Sakura.

Sakura against Sakura.

And it was unbearable.

So, was it really wrong to long for freedom?

Was it wrong to want to escape from that loneliness?

But then…how? How to get out of there?

Hot to free herself from those invisible chains?

Those reasons
Those unkind words being expressed
Oh¡­ they'll get to you I promise one day.
But maybe then it's too late for you to say
I knew it from the go cause you know
That's some miles away from the truth.
Don't forget

What could she do?

She had nowhere to run.

Nowhere to hide.

Nowhere to cry, or scream, or collapse.

She had no one.

No one to wipe away her tears, no one to hug, no one to talk to, no one to rely onto.

No one.

No one, except for him.

Yes, him.

Her only link to the human world.

Her only chance to live. Her only reason to live.

Hey what do you think of me now
Am I not like I once were
Still if you don't know me
What's the story of this pen
I guess you're not a stranger
And I can tell you're not a friend

No, it couldn't be.

It was wrong.

ABSOLUTELY WRONG!

It was fool, stupid, nonsense, out of reality!

It was…

It was just logic.

Painful., maybe incredible.

But logic.

Sakura was a young girl.

A beautiful young girl.

Sakura was attached to life.

Sakura loved life.

And that man was the only frail little wire to connect her to her ungrateful existence.

The only little thing.

The only hope left in that desert of devastation.

And so, was it really wrong to treasure that tiny thing?

Was it really wrong to live for it, long for it, cry and pray for it?

Was it really wrong…

To love Uchiha Itachi?
