Lyrics (as edited)

i think i've reached that point
where every wish has come true
and tired disguised oblivion
is everything i do

please stop loving me
please stop loving me
i am none of these things

i think i've reached that point
where all the things you have to say
and hopes for something more from me
are just games to pass the time away

please stop loving me
please stop loving me
i am none of these things

i think i've reached that point
where every word that you write
of every blood dark sea
and every soul black night
and every dream you dream me in
and every perfect free from sin
and burning eyes
and hearts on fire
are just the same old song

please stop loving me
please stop loving me
i am none of these things
i am none of these things


Thank you so much to cathexys and danegen for beta-ing.

Wow. This seems to be the day that my heart gets ripped out. Clutching at straws, I can only claim with tears in my eyes that saying it does not make it true. I expect to watch this many times despite the pain.

(I worked all day on some meta that foundered on a single line, so I'm kinda bummed. Not sure I can abandon it, though.)

Do you think anyone will vid an examination of Charles's psyche? Or are optimists just too simple and boring?

Oh, wow, thanks so much! I'm really glad the vid had such an impact on you!

As for Charles, I wish that were possible - because my favorite fics are the ones that really grapple with the extent of his power - but sadly, there's not much visual there for vidding. Maybe someone could do it, but I don't think that person could be me :-).

Anyway, I'm very glad you liked the vid and I hope you finish your meta!

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes! With a side of BAMF in his own inimitable way, and being underestimated (as close to bullet proof as I get). Visually, I'm in love with Charles's response to Jean's attack in the final movie, but I feel deeply that it should have led to something, and it does not (did I miss it?) It isn't even clear what Magneto takes away from it. Bad director! Bad!
