Set Me Free (A Nalu/Fairy Tail Fanfic)

Even if the pain in my body is horribly excruciating, and it feels like my skin is burning. I would rather die over and over again, suffer countless torture and misery than to see a crystal teardrop stain your cheek. But if you find the need to cry away your sorrows then you can borrow my shoulder. Though I must warn you that every tear of yours that fall shatters my heart; but if you force yourself to smile while suffering inside, it kills me from deep with in my core.
Don't cry Luce, but please don't smile when you know you're hurting inside.

Riches, wealth, and beauty. I have everything in life yet a void still shrouds my heart. I am no one but a bird trapped in a gilded cage. And in that cage is a mirror, where my trapped self agonizingly watches the life I could have lived if I escaped so long ago. No matter how much gifts I receive, or how much gems are given to me, it is cheap compared to what I have always desired.
Freedom.
That is the treasure I can never have.
