Severed Link
by kira-nerys

 

Kirk,

Stubborn
Yes, I guess I am at that.
But what good will it do me to go to Vulcan?
He won't listen.
I hurt him too much.

He cut the link last night.
The precious link that in time would have become the bond.
Less than a marriage, more than a betrothal.
I could feel him severing it, it was as if he cut a limb from me.
The vastness of space suddenly became empty and lifeless.
Devoid of anything worth living for.
Nothing left fighting for
And I feel so alone.

I remember how it felt to be alone before.
It was cold, empty and painful.
But nothing could have prepared me for this.

The emptiness feels like an aching hole inside me.
My heart slows down as if it wants to quit beating.
In the emptiness of night, I call to him.
He does not answer.
I call to him
But there is only silence greeting me.
And we weren't yet bonded, he said.

I didn't want it. It frightened the living daylights right out of me.
Bonded to another for life - and beyond?
Now it is all that I wish for, all that I want.

The Enterprise keeps rushing forth between the stars,
Their light seems bleak somehow, and the ship has no soul.
But I had to get her back.
She is the only thing that gives meaning to my life now.

He's gone. Oh God. What do I do to get him back?
Will a Starship Captain be granted this one mistake?
Even if it is the worst in his life.
Will I be granted another chance.

Oh, please....

~ End
