Just a little one-shot, it came to mind, so I decided to post it. Tell me what you think.

He stood on the roof, staring out over the city, his eyes full of tears.
When our time is up
When our lives are done
Will we say we've had our fun?
His mind ran over the last few months of his life, and what he had become, and the tears slowly began to fall.
Will we make a mark this time?
Will we always say we tried?
He fell to his knees, sobbing, crying as hard as he could.
Standing on the rooftops everybody scream your heart out
Standing on the rooftops everybody scream your heart out
Standing on the rooftops everybody scream your heart out
This is all we've got now everybody scream your heart out
Tears of self-hatred, disgust, sorrow and longing streamed down his face, and onto the ground beneath him.
All the love I've met
I have no regrets
If it all ends now, I'm set.
He buried his face in his hands, trying to stop, but to no avail.
Will we make a mark this time?
Will we always say we tried?
Slowly, his mind began to take over, flashing up memories.
Standing on the rooftops everybody scream your heart
Standing on the rooftops everybody scream your heart
Standing on the rooftops everybody scream your heart
This is all we've got now everybody scream your heart out
The lust filled stares
Standing on the rooftops
The unwanted contact
Wait until the bomb drops
The stench of drink,
This is all we've got now
Cigarettes,
Scream until your heart stops
Sweat
Never gonna regret
The dim bars
Watching every sunset
The shady owners
Listen to your heart beat
The bedrooms
All the love that we felt
The rough touches
Standing on the rooftops
The pain
Wait until the bomb drops
The self hatred
This is all we got now
The disgust
Scream until your heart stops
The horror
Never gonna regret
The need to escape
Watching every sunset
The wish that it would end
Listen to your heart beat
The fear
All the love that we felt
The shame
Scream your heart out!
All of these images and thoughts swirled around and around his head, his hands firmly embedded in his hair.
Scream your heart out!
Eventually, he threw his head back, and screamed, loud and clear, a scream filled with all of the anguish, pain and fear he had buried deep within him, ever since he had been stolen from his parents, and forced to work as a sex slave in the shady establishments of America.
Scream your heart out!
A small crowd had rushed up to the roof, and were now standing with their hands over their mouths, watching the teenager as he tried to release his pent-up emotions. Eventually the boy stopped, and just knelt there, sobbing.
Scream your -
A redhead pushed his way through the crowd, his uniform signalling him as a guard. He stopped however, when he saw him, his eyes widening.
Standing on the rooftops everybody scream your heart out
Slowly, he touched the boy, who jerked back and looked at him in fear, before a shock of recognition passed over his head and he threw himself into the redhead's arms.
Standing on the rooftops everybody scream your heart out
"I thought you weren't coming back, Tala," he said.
Standing on the rooftops everybody scream your heart out
"I couldn't leave you, Kai," was the emotion-filled reply, as the two held each other close.
This is all we've got now everybody scream your
