Notes: There are DMC spoilers in this. Otherwise, it's a very clean
piece. I really like this one. Sadly, the song just screamed
Jack/Elizabeth at me. And I have to go where my muse takes me.
You should never be afraid
You're protected from trouble and pain
Why, why is this a crisis in your eyes again
Taught to be
How did it come to be
Tied to a railroad
You'll have to set us free
Watch our souls fade away
Let our bodies crumble away
Don't be afraid
I will take the cold for you
And I've had recurring nightmares
That I was loved for who I am
And missed the opportunity
To be a better man
Would he have stayed if she hadn't chained him up? He had asked himself that question so many times, and in the beginning, the answer had been so clear, but now it was lost, blurred, muddled in the mess his mind had become. Would he have acted like a good man, the good man Elizabeth thought he was?
She had chained him to the mast because she was terrified he wasn't. She was trying to make him more like who she wanted him to be.
He tapped dirty nails on the table before him and looked over at Elizabeth, who was lying on his bed. She focused soft eyes on him and smiled. She could see right through him.
Maybe she did love him for who he was. And maybe he was a better man than he thought.
But then again, maybe not.
