Feedback: <in best Roger Rabbit voice> Pppppleeeease!
Disclaimer: Hahaha.....I don't own 'em, Paramount does. And someone's making a lot of money off of Enterprise, but not me, and not with this fic.
Author's Note: I was listening to Evanescence's "Bring Me to Life," and it struck me that there was definitely a story there. Unfortunately I'm too up to my ears in other stuff to flesh out a full story. Maybe later. So here's my first ever attempt at drabbles, and man, they were hard to write.
Dedication: To Carmen....my respect for you has increased a hundred-fold!
Summary: Silent pleas from frozen souls. A pair of drabbles.
**
You see me.
Someway, somehow, you can see straight into me.
I can't hide from you.
How can you do that?
Everything I am and ever will be is there for you. All you have to do is reach for it.
I know you can you save me from what I am now. I don't know how much longer I can stay like this, knowing that you're so close, yet still so far away.
I feel so cold and alone. You can change that. You can wake me up inside.
Bring me to life, Trip. Only you can do it.
**
How did you do it? I thought I was alive.
Then I saw you and knew I was wrong. Something inside broke loose, and all I wanted was to break that shell you keep pullin' into.
I'm so scared. You're right there in front of me, but I'm scared if I try ta break those defenses down, they'll take you with it.
But I had to make my own shell to stop myself, and now I feel so cold inside. I'm lying to myself, tellin' myself I don't love you.
Bring me to life, Malcolm. I'm too scared to try.
