A/N Okay, I know I marked this as complete, but due to a special request by Gifted Shadows, I wrote one more chapter so that there would be five.
I found this really saddening to write, because in case you can't guess, it's written by Relda just before she dies. I feel it's a bit out of character, but I really felt like I HAD to write this.
I read a line very similar to this first one in a Doctor Who fic, which somewhat inspired me.
Special thanks to Gifted Shadows for keeping me writing.
I shall become like the stone
But not just yet
Not before I have had a chance
To say what I want
For you are the one
Who I thought held me
But instead bound me
Tied those chains to us all
You hurt my family
The ones closest, so near
I counted you as one of them
Until now, don't you see?
I cared for you
And held you so close
But not close enough
To stop this from happening
All that I gave
And you just consumed
Then took more and more
From them, me. From us all
I showed you such light
But you tossed it away
And you chose to hide
To grow dark and concealed
You left on that mask
Of deception and lies
You never threw it away
Just repainted it
And you tortured us all
Each and every one
Because you wouldn't see
That sometimes others are right
An eternity, I'd need
To rebuild what you shattered
But that's what I don't have
So I leave you with this
I thought you were my friend
Now I am dying
Goodbye
How could you?
