please? (carl grimes love story)

One Foot

'I'm standing in Brooklyn just waiting for something to happen.

I can't help but love thinking that everyone doesn't get it.

To my left is a window.

Where did I go?

My reflection just blends in to rows of clothes

And bad ideas, but ideas nonetheless and so...

I put one foot in front of the other one.

I don't need a new love or a new life - just a better place to die.

I put one foot in front of the other one.

I don't need a new love or a new life - just a better place to die.

I happen to stumble upon a chapel last night.

And I can't help but back up when I think of what happens inside.

I got friends locked in boxes (That's no way to live).

What you're callin' a sin isn't up to them.

After all (after all), I thought we were all your children.

But I will die for my own sins - thanks a lot.

We'll rise up ourselves - thanks for nothing at all,

So up off the ground

Our forefathers are nothing but dust now.

I put one foot in front of the other one.

I don't need a new love or a new life - just a better place to die.

I put one foot in front of the other one.

I don't need a new love or a new life - just a better place to die.

Maybe I should learn to shut my mouth.

I am over twenty-five and I can't make a name for myself

Some nights I break down and cry

I'm lucky that my father's still alive

He's been fighting all his life

And if this is all I've ever known then may his soul live on forever in my song.

I put one foot in front of the other one.

I don't need a new love or a new life - just a better place to die.

I put one foot in front of the other one.

I don't need a new love or a new life - just a better place to die.

In front of the other one

In front of the other one

Just a better place to die.'

"you know why I love this song" I said to Carl as we layed on the bed. "no, why" "because it reminds me of my childhood" "ummm let me guess it reminds you of when you learned to walk" "no, it reminds me of my dad saying he would fight for us, me, mom, and Penny. he said 'when I'm back from jail, ill protect you again, I promise I will.' well it's too DAMN late dad. you promised and failed." I said tearing up. "shhhh it's ok and I wanna promise you something." "and what's that" I said quietly. "that I promise to never. EVER. leave your side." I smiled giggling. "fine but don't break this promise cutie." I said tipping his hat as I sat up.

"were safe here anyways Spyr-" -BANG- "SHIT let's go" Carl said grabbing the weapons and my wrists. "go hide kids " Daryl said to us. "hell no I'm fighting" I said running to the field behind a blue bus. as I turned the corner to shoot I saw...

MY DAD?!?!

"dad" I said he turned to see me and dropped he weapon telling his group to stop shooting. I started to tear up and ran towards him. "Spyryte, don't go to him he'll kill you" I heard carl yell. "no he won't he's my dad" I said crying. "Spirit Bear, come here." my dad stayed kneeling down so I could hug him. "Dad, Dad I missed you." I said still crying. "mom, and Penny, they here too" I said anxious to see them. "Bear, th- they didn't make it" he said now crying with me. "Spyryte, stay with me and my group. please sweetie." "dad you can stay here, with us. it's wonderful here." I said hoping he'll stay. "I can't but you can come with me. spirit bear its not hard to do come on."

"hell with that. no I'm staying here these are the people who care more for me than you ever have dad. you promised dad. you promised to come home. yet you never did so I'm staying here." I said as he frowned. "wrong choice Spirit Bear, wrong choice." he said smirking now pulling out a pistol. "dad don't do this" I said backing away only to be stopped by the bus. "little too late sweetie" he sad spitting at me. he pulled the trigger shooting my leg while releasing walkers in the field. "SHIT nooo I said running back to Carl who grabbed me picking me up and running to Hershel. "hershel help she's shot" he yelled while I screamed in pain.
