Time
A Short Story based off a Sarah McLachlan song called “Time”
Time here, all but means nothing…
It’s 3:33 in the morning and I’m tossing and turning in your bed. Thoughts are running through my head and love is flowing through my heart. My body is aching and sore from the night before and the love we shared. Though when I awaken from slumber I see no figure beside me. You were no longer beside me. Why did you have to leave me here alone? You told that you loved me. You told me that you cared. But I see that it was all a lie. What I gave to you meant nothing. I see that I mean nothing to you.
Just the shadows that move across the wall…
The shadows on the wall silhouette themselves with figures as I turn on the light to see. I thought I was dreaming. I thought you’d still be lying there when I turned on the lights. But you weren’t though I could still see the silhouette of where you lied next to me.
They keep me company, but they don’t ask of me, they don’t say nothing at all…
As I walk from my from the bed to the bathroom, I fall. I cannot help but to let ocean fall from my eyes. You used me. You betrayed me. You took something of mine that I can never get back. And for taking that, I will always hate you for the rest of my life.
Though as I pick up my eyes and the silhouettes of the shadows across are stare at me. They keep me company. They hear the cries on my soul, the pangs of my spirit. They don’t ask of me or say anything at all. They just sit here and comfort me in my time of dire need for someone to hold me.
And I need, just a little more silence…
Silence. The golden goodness that comes from silence can warm the soul and mend a broken heart. Though silence is eating me alive and killing me softly. You silently left me here, you want me to die. Silently and slowing my soul is breaking as rain keeps breaking from my eyes. I cannot help but to keep crying.
And I need just a little more time…
I remember when I thought I was I ready. I thought that it was finally time and you did too. You whispered softly in my ear, your gentle kisses caressed my neck, your smooth hands embraced my anxious body. You then stopped, I thought you were scared. You looked me in the eyes. It was the first time you ever told me you loved me. If I just waited, gave us a little more time, I could have prevented the way that I feel now
I get up from the floor and go over to a picture frame with a picture me and you. It’s amazing how I let you use me. It’s amazing how I didn’t see through your lies. It’s just purely grand how I gave up something sacred, holy and pure for you and yet your lies are now haunting me and stalking me.
But you send your thieves to me, silently stalking me…
I throw your picture into a wall. I cannot stand to see to your face. You disgust me. You are a foul rouge who only wanted pleasure and evil passions. But as you picture hits the wall and the frame breaks, the glass ricochets back and cuts me. Can you not see what you’ve done to me? Can you not see how much you torture me?
I move from my bed of pain to clean the cut that you have left upon me, but as I look to the shadows that once comforted me, I see all the shadows on the wall. All the pictures of me and you. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it! Stop stalking me! Haven’t you toyed around with me enough? Haven’t you already stolen everything I’ve ever owned?
Dragging me into your wall…
I cannot help but to still love you as much as you have brought me so much strife. I dreamed of a life with you and me and everything was perfect. I was the perfect mate for you as you were for me. It is even very clear in this picture we took hanging here on the wall. Don’t you remember? I was in the wedding dress and you we’re in the tuxedo. It wasn’t real, we never took that step, but I felt as though we could have done it. We were so close. But yet I am enclosed in this space, trapped inside these hellish four walls in which I committed the utmost treason and now my heart is suffering a sentence of death.
Would you give me no choice in this? I know you can’t resist, try and reopen a sore…
I told you I had been hurt before, I let you in and you betrayed me. I thought that you understood me but yet you manipulated me and now you torture my soul. Did I really have a choice in this? You just couldn’t resist. You were the hunter and I was the wounded. This was apart of your grand design the whole time. And I believe this is my fate. No longer choosing, this is my destiny. I abided in you and really what I abided in was pain. You’ve reopened everything I thought I had escaped from. But I see now that I cannot escape what was predestined for me to live.
Leave me be I don’t want to argue,
I’d just get confused and I’d come all undone
If I agree well it’s just to appease you
Cause I don’t remember what we’re fighting for…
We had a big fight before you stole the only jewel that I had. I didn’t want to argue, you know how much I hate confrontation. But you wouldn’t take no for an answer, and in fear I just agreed. I agreed in my heart to be your lover forever. I agreed in my heart to become bound to you forever. Suddenly, I forgot why we were fighting for, because when you were happy, I was happy. I couldn’t help but to be happy because I live for you. Though by making a hasty decision, I became confused and then became undone. Though if I would have given everything a little more time…
You see love--- a tight, thorny thread that you spin into a circle of gold…
You knew how I felt about you, you knew how I much I loved you. I cannot help but to want to die right now because you knew all this but yet you neglected me. And what puts me even close to the brink of my sentence of death is that I don’t feel any remorse. I pleaded guilty because I am not innocent. I can’t hate you, because I love you. I’m guilty of loving you.
You told me that I meant more to you than gold. I believed that I was gold. But now I am tarnished and ugly. And it’s all because of you. But if I would have given things a little more time…
You have me to hold me
A token for all to see
Captured to be yours alone
I see why you told me I meant more to you than gold. I was just a token. Something for you to show off, that gleams in the sunlight. I was something that was purified and made solid through the fire. That’s what you saw in me. I freely became yours. But now I am captured. Captured to be yours alone….
And I need just a little more silence…
Be quiet! Please. Thoughts please stop running in my head. I cannot breath my thoughts are clouding and my eyes are closing. Please give me silence. Give me real silence because what I am feeling now is loneliness. I’m alone, scared and confused.
And I need a little more time…
Though if I had given everything a little more time…
The courage to pull away…
I have to go. I can’t let you have me. I have to leave here. I have to leave this deep hole within…
There will be hell to pay…
I put my garments on my filthy body. I put on my ruby shoes, wishing I was Dorothy. Wishing I could tap my heals three times and wish I was home, that I was safe. Waking up realizing this was all a dream. But I cannot. This isn’t Kansas…
I get off the bed where I thought we made love but it’s actually where we were consumed by evil.
I walk to the door and I begin to walk out, but I dropped something and I bend down to pick it up. I pick myself up and what an unpleasant surprise.
We are standing face to face.
I wish I had just a little more time…
The deeper you cut to the bone…
You reach out to me. Don’t touch me! You’ve already cut me with your lies. Don’t explain. I know the truth now. I know the truth. You entered into me a liar…
Leave me be, I don’t want to argue
I’d just get confused and I’d come all undone
If I agree well it’s just to appease you
Cause I don’t remember what we’re fighting for…
The weatherman called my heart predicted a rainstorm, because once again, rain falls from my eyes. What you’re saying to me makes so much sense, but how can I believe you? I’m so confused, and I don’t want to come undone again. I don’t want to be in agreement with you, you used me. I don’t even remember what we’re fighting for…
Time here, all but means nothing…
I fall into your arms. The rainstorm coming from my eyes is flooding your beautiful chest. How stupid could I be, to believe you again? All this time I’ve had to hate you and I didn’t, I couldn’t. I still loved you. I was going out to move on. I wanted to get out of this hole. But yet I fall once again. My eyes close, going into slumber from the rainstorm that came from my and fell from my eyes. I’m so tired and drained of life.
If only I had a little more time…
Just the shadows that move across the wall…
I awake again your bed, where we did the unspeakable. I look at the clock and it is 6:03. I turn again but yet I don’t see you. Does this hell ever end? The shadows are back and they try to provide me comfort, but the same process over again? Does this hell ever end…?
They keep me company, but they don’t ask of me, they don’t say nothing at all…
The shadows keep me company for the time being, but it’s not enough, I can’t stand the fact that I fell into your lies again. Again? Does this hell ever end…?
I lay my head down, deep inside this pillow that shallows yet again, the delicious rain that comes from my eyes. The shadows didn’t ask what was wrong. They didn’t say anything at all, they just watched me.
But then a hand touches me. It is the same hand that embraced my anxious body before? Why? Why do you lie with me but lie to me? I have all these questions…just answer them for me.
I turn around and before I can let a word escape from my heart and come out of my mouth, you put a finger to stop the passage of questions that want to flood out. You then pressed you lips upon mine.
And I need just a little more silence…
Silence. Will you not let me speak? You then get up from the bed, the bed where we did the unspeakable. You then continue to explain. You say I’m sorry so much I actually start to feel sorry for you. You tell me that you love me. You tell me that you need me. You tell me that you can’t live without me.
You then walk over to your pocket. And you pull something out of it. My eyes are so puffy though, I cannot make it out. You then pick me up and pull me out of your bed, the bed where we did the unspeakable.
You then set me on the floor and you stare into my eyes. And when you do so, all my questions are answered. I try once again to let words escape from my heart and come out of my mouth but you make me retreat to silence once again. You then tell me you love me. You then tell me you need me. You then tell me that you can’t live without me.
You then ask me to marry you…
And I need just a little more time...
