A/N: Well, I'm going to revise this one too. *sighs* Being one of my first fics it isn't exactly the best, and if you're easily brought to tears bust out the tissues now this chapter is a bit dramatic and sad. The song is in italics.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything from the Legacy of Kain series. However, I do happen to own Andromeda, and any other oddities I create, mainly characters and the plot. Oh, and the song's by Richard Marx.

Chapter Seven: Broken Heart

Raziel looked stunned to say the least. The hope had vanished from his eyes in a matter of seconds after the final word was uttered from my lips. He appeared to be contemplating something, but his contemplation lasted for only a moments time. His eyes fell to mine, a sympathetic gaze bearing into my questioning one.

Heart pounding so hard it keeps me wide awake at night

I wait alone in the dark for you to make the moment right

"I do not love you." He said quietly, tearing his gaze from mine before he could watch the pain and anguish set in. He knew that I had left myself open to him, vulnerable in the worst way. I had given my heart to him, and he had refused it.

If I could only show you all that might be lost

Then you'd never wonder what the secret was

And I'd tell you

I forced myself to keep my composure as he strode quickly out of the room. No matter how much my heart broke to hear him say that he didn't love me, I wouldn't let him see it. But as soon as I knew he was out of earshot I wept. I cried harder than I had ever had in all of my years. For I could contain the sorrow, and anguish of loving and not being loved in return no longer.

The loney heart you see tonight

Will not give up without a fight

And I'm never gonna let it fade away

I watched in a mirror as the tears coursed down my face, with no end to them in sight. Each one carrying my pain, a pain that refused to end. My heart was broken. I could see no end to the darkness.

Oh, you can look into my eyes and see you're the only one

I would break down and cry if you became the lonely one

I cried harder still watching in the mirror as each tear fell, though at the time I didn't know that someone else was watching every tear, and aching just as much as I was. Though the tears still came, the moments we spent together, were all fake. The time on the bed. I realized that it was all one sided. He never more than cared for me, but I could still hope.

I'd rather play the fool and try to hold a star

Than never know if you were going to break my heart

And I can see it shining

I loved him with all my heart, but it was only one-sided. I had left my heart and future in his hands, and he had set them aside as gently as possible, but it had all been so painfully cruel. An ironic twist of fate to an almost fairy tale.

No matter what I say to make you understand

It's all up to you to take the future in your hands

So please don't keep me waiting

I should've known, that there was always the other side of the coin, but I had only hoped there'd be one. I left my future in Raziel's clawed hands and now all I could do was wait. For a change of heart perhaps? I did not know.

No matter what I say to make you understand

It's all up to you to take the future in your hands

So please don't keep me waiting

A/N: Sorry it was short, but at least I updated. Please R&R.
