Kurt watched the thunder clap outside on this rainy night.

It was twelve, but Kurt snuck out of his room and into the piano room in pure desperation to connect with himself somehow.

A ghost of a pained smile appeared on Kurt's face as his fingers wavered above the notes.

A deep breath.

Then Kurt starts to play the beginning a song he had in mind.

You and I walk a fragile line

I have known it all this time

But I never thought I'd live to see it break

 It's getting dark, and it's all too quiet
And I can't trust anything now
And it's coming over you like it's all a big mistake

Kurt felt so alone. But he had to distance himself from everyone, even when everyone was trying to help. He knew they couldn't trust him. And he can't really trust anyone either.

Then there's Blaine. There's always Blaine. But Kurt can't go back to him.

Ohh, I'm holding my breath
Won't lose you again
Something's made your eyes go cold

Everyday Kurt sees Blaine's eyes reflecting pain and betrayal. They were haunting him everywhere he goes.

Sometimes he would wake up from a nightmare, clutching his pillow as he remembered the  cold hazel eyes directed at him. He would remind himself that it was all a dream, and will it to go away.

Better than seeing him dead.

Come on, come on don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Something's gone terribly wrong
You're all I wanted
Come on, come on don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Can't breathe whenever you gone
Can't turn back now,
I'm haunted

Then there's Azmio, Kurt thought he knew what he was doing. But now, he can't predict what he was going to do. 

When Blaine was with him, he could manage.  He needed Blaine. His ground, his anchor, his everything.

But now he had to force down every breath he took at a steady pace.

Tears streaked down his face as he played.

 Stood there and watched you walk away
From everything we had
But I still mean every word I said to you
He will try to take away my pain
And he just might make me smile
But the whole time I'm wishing he was you instead

He didn't do it for himself, he did it for him. Or maybe he was selfish. Maybe he broke up with Blaine so he wouldn't have to suffer through seeing Blaine dead, knowing it was his fault.

Wes, David, and Jeff tried. They tried to help him cope. They tried to cheer him up, but Kurt just wishes they were Blaine.

He knew someone might hear, but the walls were pretty soundproof, and Kurt didn't really care.
