Beyblade Fan Fiction ❯ Out of the Shadows ❯ In the End ( Chapter 23 )

In the light of the moon, inside a window, a girl sat. The dawn would come soon and sweep its golden light over the skies. The others would soon be awake, and the plane would carry them away. She leaned her head back and let the music float into her, through her. The words were like an antidote, freeing her thought from the chains she had forged to keep them in place...

 

~***~

 

It starts with one thing

I don't know why

 

 

(I don't know anything. I'm lost in the dark. All the questions are smothering the few answers I have. But it starts with one, it always does. Am I the one this started with? Or am I the one it will end with? I f I wasn't the first, then who was?)

 

 

I doesn't even matter how hard you try

 

 

(Nothing matters anymore. Whatever I do, I'm doomed to fail.)

 

 

Keep that in mind

I designed this rhyme to explain in due time

 

 

(As fate is drawing near, it will all be revealed. And then we'll see it clear...)

 

 

All I know

Time is a valuable thing

Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings

Watch it count down to the end of the day

The clock ticks life away

 

 

(Yes. Life is coming to an end. Soon it will all be gone. There is no stopping time, time answers to no one. So don't even bother to ask cause it won't answer you.)

 

 

It's so unreal

 

 

(But who decides what is real and what's not?)

 

 

Didn't look out below

Watch the time go right out the window

Trying to hold on but didn't even know

I wasted it all just to watch you go...

 

(Will I see their faces when they turn around and walk away from me? They cannot stay, because who can master the fire without getting burned?)

 

 

I kept everything inside and even though I tried

It all fell apart

 

 

(Because it will fall apart. Nothing lasts forever.)

 

 

What it meant to me, will eventually be a memory

Of a time when

 

 

I tried so hard and got so far

But in the end, it doesn't even matter

 

 

(Nothing matters in the end. There is no turning back, or going forward. We stand on the same spot and stride. There is no returning in time, there is nothing but time...)

 

 

I had to fall to lose it all

But in the end, it doesn't even matter

 

 

(Those who ride on the highest horses fall the hardest.)

 

 

One thing, I don't know why

It doesn't even matter how hard you try

 

 

(God does not care for the smaller things...)

 

 

Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme

To remind myself how

I tried so hard...

 

 

(Though I knew it was useless. There is no place for me here.)

 

 

In spite of the way you were mocking me

Acting like I was part of your property

Remembering all the times you fought with me

I'm surprised that it got so

(far)

 

 

(Giving me all these questions and no answers. How can I rest in peace?)

 

 

Things aren't the way they were before,

 

 

(Nothing is...)

 

 

You wouldn't even recognize me anymore

Not that you knew me back then

But it all comes back to me

In the end...

 

 

(As it comes, on swift wings. Carrying the prize of God.)

 

 

You kept everything inside and even though I tried

It all fell apart

What it meant to me will eventually be a memory

Of a time when...

 

I tried so hard and got so far

But in the end

It doesn't even matter

I had to fall to lose it all

But in the end

It doesn't even matter...

 

 

(I did it. I did it all, and now it slips through my hands. Like sand in an hourglass. Everything I've built up, all I've created. It falls apart now, have I not believed enough?)

 

 

I put my trust in you

Pushed as far as I can go

And for all this,

There is only one thing you should know...

 

 

(I promised to hold my head high, to stand tall. I will stand until I fall, and when I do that. I will never rise again. But you should know this...)

 

 

 

I tried so hard and got so far

But in the end, it doesn't even matter

I had to fall to lose it all

But in the end, it doesn't even matter...

 

 

(Only the dead have seen end of war...)
