| This story was inspired by the song Overcome, from the CD V by Live. Overcome Twilight in the rain. The end of another day without you. I roam through the space of this massive house turning on the lights, and it�s so empty. I miss you. I try to fill the emptiness with light and music. I can�t get this song out of my mind. Every time I play it I think of you. I play it often. I want to think of you. I feel nothing, except when I think of you. But when I think of you I feel as if I�m drowning, my chest is so filled with love and need for you I can�t draw breath. Where are you, when you should be here? Why are you out there, somewhere in the cold dark, when you could be warm in my arms? Will you ever be in my arms? �Even now the world is bleeding, But feeling just fine All numb in my castle, Where we�re always free to choose, Never free enough to find, I wish something would break Cause we�re running out of time�� We�re running out of time, Duncan. I know you love me. But I know how hard it is for you to admit you love me, even to yourself. I keep hoping you�ll admit it. I keep holding on to this hope, even though it�s like holding on to a naked blade, the harder I hold on the deeper it cuts me. I�ll have to let go soon, when the pain becomes more than I can stand. I love you, but we�re running out of time. ��and I am overcome, I am overcome, Holy water in my lungs, I am overcome. There�s women in the street, pulling out their hair, My master�s in the yard Giving light to the unaware, This plastic little place Is just a step amongst the stairs�� Just one step, Duncan. Take just one step to me. That�s all I ask. London in the rain. The car is moving through cold, wet streets, the neon lights painting multicolored streaks on dark, wet pavement. I�ve come back to London because of you. I have to see you. I have to know. That song I keep hearing is on the radio, again, ��and I am overcome, I am overcome, Holy water in my lungs, I am overcome. So drive me out, Out to that open field, Turn the ignition off And spin around. Your help is here. But I�m parked in this open space, Blocking the gates of love�� Why can�t I admit to loving you, Methos? Am I that inhibited, repressed, and narrow-minded, that I can�t admit to loving you? Our bonds are all that hold us in this world, and you are my most important bond. I have so few left, I don�t think I can afford to lose you. I park across from your beautiful house, get out of the car and stand in the rain. Do you feel me, Methos? Do you feel this same ache? Can you help me? Do you love me? ��and I am overcome, I am overcome, Holy water in my lungs, I am overcome...� I�m driven by I know not what to go out into the rain. I open the door and walk down the stairs, into the rain, into your presence. I look for you, you *are* there, across the wet street, and you cross it to come to me. More than one step, Duncan, it�s more than one step to come to me. One was all I asked. ��I am overcome, I am overcome, Holy water in my lungs, Holy water, holy water, I am overcome.� As soon as I see you I know. I *can* admit it. I *do* admit it. *I love you.* I cross the street to go to you, and as soon as I look into your eyes I know. *You love me.* I take you in my arms and kiss you, and kiss you, and kiss you, and the rain falls on us like a benediction. �Beautiful drowning, This beautiful drowning, This holy water, This holy water is in my lungs, And I am overcome, I am overcome, I am overcome.� ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
