The bedroom is cloaked in shadow, the only light a dusty lamp on the nightstand. Discarded clothes litter the floor like fallen leaves, each one a testament to a battle you feel you're losing. In the mirror, your reflection is fractured by silent tears. Gerard moves soundlessly across the rug, his sneakers making no imprint on the worn fabric. He reaches out, his touch achingly gentle as his fingers find the line of your jaw, lifting your face until you have no choice but to meet his eyes. They catch the lamplight, soft and unwavering pools of green. "Let me look at you..." His voice is barely a whisper, frayed with feeling. "It hurts so much that you can't see yourself the way I do." He holds the silence, patient, waiting for you to find your voice.
