Lily's POV:
I went through the CD collection I had been gathering the last few months since Eugene fixed up a battery powered radio for me. Lindsey Stirling grabbed my interest, soon a song by her and Lizzy Hale "Shatter me" began to play.
"I pirouette in the dark
I see the stars through a mirror
Tired mechanical heart
Beats 'til the song disappears
Somebody shine a light
I'm frozen by the fear in me
Somebody make me feel alive and shatter me
So cut me from the line
Dizzy, spinning endlessly
Somebody make me feel alive and shatter me
Shatter me
Somebody make me feel alive and shatter me
If only the clockwork could speak
I wouldn't be so alone
We burn every magnet and spring
And spiral into the unknown
Somebody shine a light
I'm frozen by the fear in me
Somebody make me feel alive and shatter me
So cut me from the line
Dizzy, spinning endlessly
Somebody make me feel alive and shatter me
Shatter me
Somebody make me feel alive and shatter me
If I break the glass, then I'll have to fly
There's no one to catch me if I take a dive
I'm scared of changing, the days stay the same
The world is spinning, but only in gray
If I break the glass, then I'll have to fly
There's no one to catch me if I take a dive
I'm scared of changing, the days stay the same
The world is spinning, but only in gray
Somebody shine a light
I'm frozen by the fear in me
Somebody make me feel alive and shatter me
So cut me from the line
Dizzy, spinning endlessly
Somebody make me feel alive and shatter me
Shatter me
Somebody make me feel alive and shatter me"
I punched the mirror on my wall before I broke down crying onto my bed. No one is ever going to want me. I'm just going to be Aunt Lily and Doctor Lily for the rest of my life. And I just need to learn to accept it. There's more things to life than being in love. Being in love didn't get me anywhere aside from under a needle the last time.
My internal drama was interrupted by a nervous male voice singing through my open window.
Negan's POV:
I found myself slowly singing in response to her broken sobs that had made their way through to my cell. If I could hear her, maybe she could hear me.
Chris Stapleton "broken halos" is what popped into my head for some damn reason.
"Seen my share of
Broken halos
Folded wings that used to fly
They've all gone
Wherever they go
Broken halos that used to shine," her sobs quieted down so I continued singing, "Angels come down
From the heavens
Just to help us on our way
Come to teach us
Then they leave us
And they find some other soul to save
Seen my share of
Broken halos
Folded wings that used to fly
They've all gone
Wherever they go
Broken halos that used to shine
Broken halos that used to shine
Don't go looking
For the reasons
Don't go asking
Jesus why?
We're not meant to know the answers
They belong to the by and by
They belong to the by and by
Seen my share of," her voice joined mine, "Broken halos
Folded wings that used to fly
They've all gone
Wherever they go
Broken halos that used to shine
Broken halos that used to shine
Broken halos that used to shine
Broken halos that used to shine."
I smiled and leaned my head against the bricks below the small window in my cell.
