Raven P.O.V.
I sighed. I remembered the last time I talked to Robin. Since we separated, he had closed the bond, not wanting to speak to me.
" Robin?" I'd called, " We need to talk.". He walked over, hesitating, following me into my room. I sat down on my bed and patted the spot next to me, saying " Sit down, It's just a talk." He smiled at me, and I stared back as I took in a breath.
Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
I knew we would end up separating. It was imminent. The last two titans who still never broke away from each other. It did happen though, just later.
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came
Tears slipped out of my eyes, as I began to think words that ripped through my heart.
'Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend!
Somewhere along in the bitterness!
And I would have stayed up with you all night,
Had I known how to save a life'
" Robin, I think I know what's best. You need to give yourself a break from crime. Your running out of energy constantly. You stay up until five in the morning and wake up at five thirty. You always strain yourself. Just please rest…" I'd said, while giving him a hug. ' Oh, Lord, please help me! He needs this! Just please help the daughter of a demon help someone she cares for!' I'd prayed.
Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God, he hears you
And pray to God, he hears you
I started to repeat the words that tore through my heart in a whisper,
"Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend!
Somewhere along in the bitterness!
And I would have stayed up with you all night,
Had I known how to save a life."
He began to loose it and scream at me. I listened, taking in each word he said and consider it. But it was absolutely silly. When he was done with his pointless rant I'd said, " You have one last choice, Drive until you loose the road, or break with the ones you've followed." He screamed at me to get out, and I did out of respect. I currently sat in the rural forest of Japan, absolutely lost.
As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you begin to wonder why you came
I began to say allowed the words that tore through my already shattered heart.
"Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend!
Somewhere along in the bitterness!
And I would have stayed up with you all night,
Had I known how to save a life."
Then I began to shout those very same, painful words.
"Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend!
Somewhere along in the bitterness!
And I would have stayed up with you all night,
Had I known how to save a life!"
My shouts eerily echoed off of the surrounding trees,
"How to save a life"
"How to save a life"
I thought the words in my mind once again,
'Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend,
Somewhere along in the bitterness,
And I would have stayed up with you all night,
Had I known how to save a life.'
Then I couldn't help but shout it again. The pain was so intense, and yelling it out made it easier. So I shouted out again,
"Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend!
Somewhere along in the bitterness!
And I would have stayed up with you all night,
Had I known how to save a life!"
It just echoed again.
"How to save a life"
"How to save a life"
Suddenly, someone else was inside of my mind. ' Raven, I'm sorry… You did know best. I just got out of a coma Slade sent me into. I didn't listen and I ended up in a hospital. You were right, as always. And, you didn't go wrong, you never lost a friend somewhere along in the bitterness, and I was not awake to stay up all night. You had known how to save a life.' I cried, and thought to him, ' I'm on my way home.'
