When You Say Nothing At All
Days go past slowly, summer turns to autumn. They still haven't told us what happened to Vicky, they just say she fell asleep but I'm not stupid I know that Victoria's dead. I can't bear to see her like this, she's been very eerie and dark these days. I try to cheer her up but always I wallow in failure. Jemima. The sweet angel, the innocent one, the loving one, the one who stole my heart and now refuses to hand it back. And I'm Pouncival. The irritating one, the stupid one and the heart broken one. It's my chance now, the moon is full and bright, it hangs over the junkyard, gently glowing with a thousand twinkling stars surrounding it. She's staring at it, her blue-green eyes transfixed, her crimson lips pursed slightly and her tiny ears twitching as the cold night air flows through her fur. I jump up close to her,
"Jemima?" I whisper softly, she doesn't speak but she nods slightly to let me know she's listening.
"How are you feeling on this beautiful night?" I say putting on Bustopher Jones' accent. She smiles softly and then makes a 'so-so' movement with her paw. I huddle in closer, she makes no signs that she's uncomfortable, however she continues to look at the moon, my hazel orbs follow her gaze.
"Why do you like the moon so much Jem?" I blurt out
'Oh great Pounce make her feel uncomfortable'
Jemima sighs,
"Pounce, think how dark the night would be without the moon, there would be no light only the stars which you and I both know that they will slowly fade."
My brow creases "Wow, I guess your right Jem."
She smiles softly continues to stare at the bright mound of rock which hangs in the night sky. I realize how comforting it is, just to stare up into space, I find myself gazing upon the moon just as transfixed as Jemima. She shivers,
"It's cold" she mutters softly, I nod slightly and break my view from the moon. She huddles closer, my heart skips and I feel a thousand butterflies flutter in my stomach. I let my eyes droop slightly as she purrs lightly, I smile and close my eyes in ecstasy. I trace my finger through her fur, such dark fur for such a light person. I sigh softly,
"What is it?" Jemima mutters,
"It's you, you hardly ever speak but sometimes your actions they like kind of speak for you…"
She chuckles softly
"Explain further?" she whispers.
I smile and then touch her paw,
"It's amazing
How you can speak
Right to my heart
Without saying a word,
You can light up the dark
Try as I may
I could never explain
What I hear when
You don't say a thing."
She looks up at me in awe,
"Wow Pounce, you-you have an amazing voice" she says softly, I touch her lips to shush her.
"The smile on your face
Lets me know
That you need me
There's a truth
In your eyes
Saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says
You'll catch me
Whenever I fall
You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all"
She snuggles up closer and purrs softly, I hold her close. I nuzzle her head fur affectionately. She close her eyes and I copy her actions, shutting my hazel orbs and purring softly, she chuckles sofly, I grin. I finally made her smile.
"All day long
I can hear people
Talking out loud
But when you hold me near
You drown out the crowd
Try as they may
They can never define
What's been said
Between your
Heart and mine"
She looks up at me,
"Do you really think that? I mean do you real know me like that?" I smile and nod my head. She returns the grin and nuzzles me, she lies down and rests her head upon my lap. I trace my finger through her head fur and grin softly,
"The smile on your face
Lets me know
That you need me
There's a truth
In your eyes
Saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says
You'll catch me
Whenever I fall
You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all."
She grins and nuzzles my lap as I repeat my way to understand Jemima.
"The smile on your face
Lets me know
That you need me
There's a truth
In your eyes
Saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says
You'll catch me
Whenever I fall
You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all."
Jemima purrs one last time and then her breathing grows heavier, in a matter of moments she's dreaming. I look down at her, her lips stretched in a smile, I sigh and join her in our dreams.
A/N: Right, I hope that was happier then the last one, sorry it's kind of short, been busy.
