A/N: Sorry for the wait. I've been caught up with my classes. Two weeks in and I'm already buried in homework, not to mention the six a.m. meetings for the Academics Team I'm on, so thanks for being so patient. I don't own the Covenant, though if I did, Tyler and Reid would most definately be living in my closet right now. I don't own the song either. That belongs to His Infernal Majesty. A word to my reviewers...
exitlight: I'm trying to make them longer without making them boring. I'll keep working on them though. And thanks for all your reviews.
raven 2547: Thanks! I was really worried about those. I didn't think they'd turn out like they did.
Lanaktty: I'll work on it. I used to write poetry all the time, but gave that up and became a songwriter instead. I never really did haikus before this and I was really worried. For you, one of my most faithful reviewers, I will gladly work on more ReidXTyler poetry :)
Pnkrkriotgirl: I'm glad you liked it. I was almost positive I'd get Flamed from here to Kitee for that one.
Shiek 2: Here's your update and I'm sorry for the wait. And another thing...THANK YOU FOR THE FAVORITE!!!
sky's girl forever: Yay for updates!! Thanks for all the reviews!
Miss Insolence: Thank you so much! I get this warm fuzzy feeling when people tell me they actually like what I'm working on. That warm fuzzy feeling is what keeps me writing. Oh, and before I forget...THANK YOU FOR THE FAVORITE!!!!!
Now to the story :)
Killing Loneliness
(A/N: This was written rather strangely. I'll explain the POV changes at the end.)
Memories, sharp as daggers
Peirce into the flesh of today.
Suicide of love took away all that matters
And buried the remains in an unmarked grave in your heart.
So this is what I've been reduced to. Watching, wanting, but never being able to have what I want. No, it's what I need. It's like air. You take if for granted until it's gone and then you're helpless without it.
With the venomous kiss you gave me
I'm killing loneliness (killing loneliness)
With the warmth of your arms you saved me
Oh I'm killing loneliness with you.
Killing loneliness that turned my heart into a tomb.
I'm killing loneliness.
He only sees me as I presented myself and how he wants to see me. He doesn't know me. He doesn't know that I don't hate him, that I'm a lot like him, that I'm just as scared of the addiction and dying young as he is. We're sharing the same burden and walking the same road and he can't see that.
Nailed to a cross together
As solitude begs us to stay.
Then we'll disappear in the lie forever
And denounce the power of death over our souls as secret words are said to start a war.
Why did I have to fall in love with you? It fills my mind. Little hearts with your initials, the little C.D.s filling them up. Is your heart full of little C.Cs? Or C.P.s maybe? But you still love little Sarah, don't you? Sweet, innocent little Sarah. She's nothing like the evil monster Chase, is she?
With the venomous kiss you gave me
I'm killing loneliness (killing loneliness)
With the warmth of your arms you saved me
Oh I'm killing loneliness with you.
Killing loneliness that turned my heart into a tomb.
I'm killing loneliness.
I watch you with your brothers, with your girlfriend, and I feel my heart break. I'm like Romeo hiding out in Mantua when all I want is to be in Verona with my beloved. I'm in banishment. I didn't want to hurt you, I never did. You don't care though. Caleb Danvers will be the death of me.
Killing loneliness.
With the venomous kiss you gave me
I'm killing loneliness (killing loneliness)
With the warmth of your arms you saved me
I'm sorry I shunned you Chase. It was to be expected. Maybe I was imagining the regret in your eyes that night we were fighting. Did you mean anything when you kissed me, or was it spur of the moment and meaningless? The only reason I hate you, Chase Collins, is because of the confusion you left me in.
(A/N #2: The reason I waited was to instill suspense . Ok. The first part was written from Chase's point of view 'cuz I don't think he really died. The second one is Caleb's point of view 'cuz I like to think he's terrified of dying young just like everyone else. The third and fourth ones are Chase and the last one is Caleb. I hoped you liked it!!!)
