Broken, a SongFic by Moffit
Losing Grip by Avril Lavigne
Rating: PG, but has an overall depressing tone. Consider yourself warned.
Disclaimer: Not mine.
[Are you aware of what you make me feel.. Baby?
Right now I feel invisible to you,
Like Im not.. Real.]
He didnt even see me anymore, that much was obvious. Hell, he didnt seem to see any of us. His eyes were turned inward, seeing the past replaying in his mind, over and over and over
[Didnt you feel me lock my arms around you?
Whyd you turn away?]
He refused to let us touch him, we were lucky he let us get this close as it was. He just huddled in the corner of his room, mumbling over and over about how it was all his fault.
[Heres what I have to say..
I was left to cry there,
Waiting outside there,
Grinning with the lost stare..]
It wasnt his fault he had died. It wasnt anybodys fault. It had been an accident. We all felt grief over his death, but I think it hit him the hardest. He had just pulled into himself when it happened, silent tears trickling down his face, staring at the wreckage, but unseeing.
[Thats when I decided.
Why? Should I care?
Cause you werent there
When I was scared.
I was so alone.]
Sometimes he would rage at us, screaming at us, tearing at his hair and we had to forcefully stop him from knocking holes in the wall. It usually took all three of us to hold him down, he was that strong. Tears would streak down his face the whole time.
**********
[You. You need to listen!
Im starting to trip,
Im losing my grip,
And Im in this thing alone.]
I really think hes starting to lose it. He doesnt see us; he doesnt hear us. Once he started to laugh manically, like he couldnt stop. Then I slapped him, and it was as if the blow rocked him to his soul. He just stopped everything; he was in shock I believe. Somehow that seemed worse.
**********
[Am I just some chick you place
Beside you, to take somebodys place?
When you turn around,
Can you recognize my face?]
Today he seemed almost normal. At dinner, he seemed to be in his right mind. Until I realized he would talk to me like I was someone else. It wasnt me he was seeing anymore. The realization alarmed me.
**********
[You used to love me,
You used to hug me.
But that wasnt the case..
Everything wasnt ok..]
We had no choice. We couldnt take care of him like this by ourselves. It wasnt something we did easily, but he needed professional help. If only it didnt feel as if we were dumping him off on someone else..
[I was left to cry there,
Waiting outside there,
Grinning with the lost stare..]
He looked so lost, watching us leaving him behind. But then, I cant even be sure he knew what was going on.
**********
[Thats when I decided.
Why? Should I care?
Cause you werent there
When I was scared.
I was so alone.]
It hurt, visiting him and having him stare right through me. He just sat there. Sometimes he would seem to be listening to me as I tried to talk to him, but the replies I got had nothing to do with what I was talking about. Indeed, he was replaying old conversations theyd had before he died.
**********
[You. You need to listen!
Im starting to trip,
Im losing my grip,
And Im in this thing alone..]
It was more than getting to me. Sometimes I wondered why I couldnt do the same thing. Why couldn't I lose myself like he did? It seemed so much easier to let others take care of things for me. Lord knows we all have our own trouble trying to deal. But something in me wouldnt let me break down like that. It was both relieving and hellish at the same time.
**********
[Crying out loud,
Im crying out loud..
Crying out loud,
Im crying out loud..
Open your eyes!
Open up wide!]
He wont snap out of it. I dont think he ever will. Hes going to be one of those crazies your mother warned you to stay away from. You never knew if he was going to just grin at you like nothing had happened, or if he would go into a blinding rage until orderlies rushed in to restrain him and give him tranquilizer shots. It was disheartening to watch.
[Why? Should I care?
Cause you werent there
When I was scared.
I was so alone.]
**********
I hardly go to see him anymore. I cant seem to help it. He doesnt know Im there anyway. He never truly sees any of us. He just sits there on his bed, knees drawn up to his chest, and rocks back and forth, conversing with a ghost. In his hand is his world, a little silver cross that he never lets go of. For some reason, I never thought the Perfect Soldier would break. I guess he wasnt really perfect, after all...
[Why? Should I care?
If you dont care,
Then I dont care!
Were not going anywhere..]
