La Guerrera del tiempo by Starsea

la cicatriz invisible

Theme: Agony

Fue una tortura perderte,
Me duele tanto que sea así;
Sigue llorando perdón,
Yo ya no voy a llorar... por tí.

- Shakira, La Tortura

Setsuna knew what pain was. Pain was smelling another woman's perfume on your boyfriend's coat. Pain was having him kiss your cheek instead of your mouth. Pain was packing up all his things in boxes and waiting for him to come home so you could deal the final blow and make sure you had the control. Pain was watching him leave and knowing that despite your efforts and your hope, you were alone again.

That was pain. It hurt, it left scars, but you survived.

Pain was not the same as agony. Agony was standing in the same place for all time, outside of time. Agony was being separated from any human being. Agony was knowing you would never fall in love, never have children. Agony was knowing that your one friend had been twisted and warped into someone you didn't recognise. Agony was dying in the arms of a man whom you loved without ever telling him of your feelings.

Agony was far more deadly than mere pain. It ate you up and turned you into someone unrecognisable. She would never suffer like that again. Even if that meant breaking up with a man; even if that meant holding back from men completely and concentrating solely on her family (she loved her family, she would never abandon them or let them be twisted). She would only suffer for her family and her princess. Nobody else was worth it.

Then he came, with those green eyes and that quick mind, flirting with her, making her laugh. And Setsuna discovered that sometimes even agony could be sweet.

Title: The invisible scar
Verse: It was torture losing you,
I was hurt that it had to be this way,
Keep saying you're sorry,
I'm not going to cry for you any more.
