A jail of crystal – Chapter five
the song used is: Whisper, by Evanescence
Catch
me as I fall
Say you're here and it's all over now
Speaking
to the atmosphere
No one's here and I fall into myself
Love.
The most wonderful feeling, the sweetest sensation.
Love.
A beautiful white rose. Its delightful scent, its overwhelming pureness, its lovely softness, its…
Thorns.
You can smell it, but you can never touch it.
You can look at it, but you can never reach it.
Or, someday, you will…
Bleed.
And Sakura was now bleeding.
It is astonishing how our mind sometimes manages to break those chains just to get a chance to rely on something.
But was it right?
It is really good to escape from reality just to grab on something tiny and unstable?
No, it isn't.
It is really logic to devote your heart to someone who is just draining out your last, strained, energies?
No, it isn't, but…
What would you do, then?
What would you do if the only thing you saw is darkness?
What would you do if the only answer to your screaming was the astounding silence and you weren't able to recognize the sound of your own voice anymore?
What would you do if the only way to make you feel alive was to dug your nails in your arms hoping you would bleed to death?
You would…
Love.
As much as you could.
As desperately as you could.
This
truth drive me
Into madness
I know I can stop the pain
If
I will it all away
But then…how?
How is it possible to love someone is just having fun with you?
How is it possible to pray the one is driving you to the utter insanity?
How is it possible to crave and long and moan and whisper and SCREAM and BLEED for the one is slowly leading you to your grave?
How?
Angels and devils don't blend.
But Sakura didn't feel like an angel anymore.
Darkness is tainting.
Once you are drowning in it you can't escape.
You will soak it up, sickly.
You will sense it running through your veins and slowly affecting your body, your mind, your soul, every single atom of your whole being.
You will be lost.
And you won't know you are.
So will try to get out of it, to hold on something wishing not to drown.
And she was trying.
Because she was afraid.
Afraid to go down, afraid to get mad, afraid to…
Die.
Don't
turn away
- Don't give in to the pain -
Don't try to hide
-
Though they're screaming your name -
Don't close your eyes
-
God knows what lies behind them -
Don't turn out the light
-
Never sleep never die -
She didn't know the real Sakura had already died.
Who was her, now?
Just a puppet.
Why was she there?
To make him laugh.
Why was he treating her like that?
Because it was fun.
Sakura discovered the pain.
The pain of being rejected, the pain of being unwanted, the pain of feeling your only connection to life slowly disappearing, leaving her bare and alone.
Not that she cared of being naked anymore.
Not that she cared of anything, anymore.
It was just pain, sorrow, grief, and the numb awareness of being utterly wrong without the might to change it.
I'm
frightened by what I see
But somehow I know
That there's much
more to come
Immobilized by my fear
And soon to be
Blinded
by tears
I can stop the pain
If I will it all away
Was it love, then?
Was it that lovely white rose ?
No, it was not.
Fallen
angels at my feet
There were stains of blood on ashen petals.
Whispered voices at my ear
She finally felt it.
She felt is so clearly she wanted to die.
Death
before my eyes
Lying next to me I fear
The last hints of her sanity told her.
She
beckons me
Shall I give in
She fell in love with him
She fell in love with a monster.
She prayed and begged the man who was crushing her.
Upon
my end shall I begin
Forsaking all I've fallen for
And then it was all shattered.
Shattered as her wishful illusions.
Shattered as her bleeding heart,
Shattered as her already broken soul.
I rise to meet my end
It was so stark and yet so obscure.
Don't pick up that rose, Sakura.
Or someday, you will…
Break.
