Tears of Pearls

((Diana's POV))

I stood glaring at Eric, sometimes he made me so mad! The stupid spoilt rich kid that could have anything he wanted and now he was saying he wanted me! I mean sure we had shared a couple of stolen kisses in moments of weakness but I had always dismissed it soon after, I never could betray Kosar!

"I'm sorry Eric, but my heart belongs to the stars" I told him sternly

And we stare each other down
like victims in the grind
Probing all the weakness
and hurt still left behind and we cry
the tears of pearls
We do it, Oh we do it.

Eric laughed, that raven haired coward actually laughed at me!

"You really believe you'll see him again? The only way you'll see him again is if we never go home, Dungeon Master has promised we would, he can't keep both of them and I know which I'd go for. Love is just some sappy idea that musicians use!" Eric answered with more than a little bitter tinge to his voice.

Is love really the tragedy the way you might describe?
Or would a thousand lovers still leave you cold inside?
Make you cry...
These tears of pearls

His words hurt, they hurt more than any injury I had sustained as a gymnast. I bit my lip to keep from crying I glare at him again. I can see the regret in his eyes replacing the bitter rage.

All these mixed emotions
we keep locked away like
stolen pearls
Stolen pearl devotions we keep locked away from all the world

((Eric's POV))

I curse myself as I reach out to her, I didn't mean to make her cry. I just wanted to feel her lips on mine. So that I might have a fraction of the feeling that she seemed to feel for Kosar. Now because of my words she was pulling away from me, if this was what love did to you I didn't want to feel it.

Your kisses are like pearls,
so different and so rare
But anger stole the jewels away
and love has left you bare,
Made you cry...
Theses tears of pearls

"Look Diana I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, that pipsqueak will find away to help you see Kosar again, I'm sure" I apologised, hoping to get her to smile. Seeing her cry so hard made me so unhappy "Please don't cry Diana, I'm just an idiot that doesn't know anything" I continued, I squeezed my eyes shut so that my own tears wouldn't slip through the barriers I had built.

Well I could be the tired joker
pour my heart to get you in
Sacrifice my happiness
just so I could win
Maybe cry...
These tears of pearls

I hid my face inside my hands, I could feel my shoulders shaking as I tried to keep my sobs secret, why was I so empty inside? Why did love hurt people yet seem so inviting? Why did I desire it so?

All these mixed emotions
we keep locked away like
stolen pearls
Stolen pearl devotions
we keep locked away from all the world

I felt her hug me I heard her whisper something in my ear but I was too wrapped up in my thoughts to allow space for it. Maybe that was my problem I was so wrapped up in myself that I wouldn't have time for others. I wanted to give up but I knew I never would

We twist and turn where angels burn
Like fallen soldiers we will learn
That once forgotten, twice removed
Love will be the death...
The death of you

All these mixed emotions
we keep locked away like
stolen pearls
Stolen pearl devotions we keep locked away from all the world
