If I Stumble
By Bec-Bec
Chapter 3
To: Bird
From: Cage
You Go
You go.
You fly away.
I can’t
I’m in the cage.
I can’t escape.
But, you can go.
Don’t let them put you in here.
Don’t let them get you.
But, you have to let them have me.
It’s the only way.
To: Caged Bird
From: Your Freedom
I Can Release You…
I can release you from the cage
We can fly free together.
We can have love.
We can have a home.
We can have a family.
We can have each other.
We can fly free together.
Don’t let them clip your wings.
Fly away with me.
To: Fly away
From: The Cage Is Closed.
Fly Away
Fly away.
It’s the only way.
Just fly away.
I promise not to cry.
You’ll never know.
You’ll never know,
That you’ve left me behind.
The cage is closed.
The door is locked.
But not for you.
You fly away.
To: Trapped
From: The Locksmith
Don’t You See?
Don’t you see?
Can’t you see that you locked the door yourself?
You slammed it shut.
You slammed it in my face.
But if you wanted me gone,
Why did you look through the bars?
Why do you stare at me?
Why do your eyes keep pleading with me,
To set you free?
Let me pull you out.
Let me take you away.
Let’s soar into the sunlight.
To: Soaring Bird
From: Broken Wing
I Can’t Fly
I can’t fly.
You cannot ask me to try.
Stop these foolish rantings.
Just go.
For once in your life,
Just go.
If you stay any longer,
They’ll know.
They’ll find you and they’ll know.
My broken wing,
Is not your broken heart.
Just go.
To: The Broken Girl
From: The Broken Boy
Then It’s Time
Then it’s time.
It’s time for me to come back.
They’ll never let me go.
So what’s the point?
If I don’t have you,
At least I’ll be near you.
You’ll laugh in my face,
You’ll spit at my existence,
You’ll despise me.
But I’ll know.
I’ll know that you love me.
I’ll let them take me.
And I won’t leave…
Just because,
it’s the only way,
to be near you.
To: Giving Up
From: You Can’t Do That
What Kind Of Life Is That?
What kind of life is that?
You can’t do that.
You can’t turn yourself in.
I can’t do that again…
I can’t pretend again.
Why?
Why do you have to make me cry?
How come you never go away?
Just go and leave.
I can’t leave.
To: Won’t Leave
From: It Doesn’t Matter
It Doesn’t Matter Anymore
It doesn’t matter anymore.
I’m alone.
Without you,
I’m all alone.
So why not be alone near you,
Than alone and far away?
To: Far away
From: Even Farther
You Have So Much
You have so much.
You have so much to give.
You have so much to do.
You have your family.
Find them, Jarod.
Keep them close.
But go far away,
Don’t ever let them find you.
To: Everything
From: Nothing
It’s A Half Life
It’s a half life.
When there’s no love,
When there’s no soulmate,
There’s only half a life.
To: The Half Man
From: The Nothing Woman
You’ll Have More
You’ll have more.
More than I’ve got.
You have my heart, Jarod.
Why do you need me?
Take my heart Jarod,
But I can’t come.
To: Parker
From: Jarod
We’re Always The Same
We’re always the same,
Aren’t we?
I am you,
And you are me.
So, why can’t it be me for you?
Please leave them.
Please just go.
To: Going In Circles
From: Ending Circles
We’re Going In Circles
We’re going in circles.
The same words,
Over and over.
The same thoughts,
Over and over.
I’ll end the circle.
I’ll end it now.
I’ll end it myself.
It’s time to change the story.
But it’s not the ending you want.
It’s just a different one…
Because…
‘ "The time has come,"
The walrus said,
"To talk of other things.
Of shoes and ships,
And sealing wax,
Of cabbages and kings,
And why the sea is boiling hot,
And whether pigs have wings." ’
Pig’s don’t have have wings, Jarod.
And I can’t come.
But I’m going to end it.
Author’s Note: The line " ‘The time has come,’ the walrus said, ‘to talk of other things. Of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings, and why the sea is boiling hot, and whether pigs have wings.’" Is from the movie Alice In Wonderland and belongs to Disney and perhaps Lewis Caroll who wrote the book, though I have no idea if it’s actually in the book because I’ve never read it. Don’t you think it’s about time that Ms. Parker climbed out of the rabbit hole and woke up to see that Jarod is meant for her and she is meant for him? Thoughts and comments? Please Review!!! Or it ends with goodbye.
Summary: Jarod and Ms. Parker exchange poems via the internet as he tries to convince her to end the chase.
