Music softly decorates the room drifting around from an ancient music box. The notes swirl and dance their tinny sound brushing around the room. The owner lies lost in darkness the sound decorating her head in jewels as silent tears kiss her pale cheeks. In her hand a crystal rose is held dropping slowly to the ground as her grip is released. The glass shatters sprinkling its delicate shards invisibly across the cream carpeted floor. In her peacefulness she felt so alone lost in a world without touch. She was destined for every person her entered her life to leave just as soon as they came. The lack of touch was her curse, but her destiny was to lose everyone who ever entered her life, even if only for a moment. Her life was as shattered as the crystal rose upon the floor, unfixable and forever to be left as the tiny shards they were meant to always be. No one will miss her when she's gone, there's no one left to do so anymore. Each person has their own life and worries, they can't see into the soul of this girl and see the life she truly sees through her eyes. He emerald eyes blink away the majority of her tears leaving only their shadows behind in their wake. Pushing herself from the bed she moves along the floor littered in glass shards, ignoring the pain they cause as they dig into the soles of her feet piercing through the untouched skin to draw blood. She climbs through the open window into the moonlit darkness climbing with ever careful steps to the rooftop. On the edge she stands watching as the moon illuminates her with its glow. Through the silence of the dark she can hear the music box's lullaby wind slowly down the notes waning into the darkness. As the notes wind to their very end she lets go, the world disappearing behind her as she falls looking forward to the welcome release the ground will give her. The end to her destiny of losing everyone and the release from its silent grip in which she was held. In the end she'll be like the crystal rose. All that is left is for her to shatter, the last note to be added in the end of the music box melody lullaby.

A/N: Just a short story I wrote that's very fitting for Rogue. I may add more but at the moment it's a one-shot. If I get round to it I might write more and save her from the shattering end if people want me to just let me know. If i do add to it I will probably add a very dreamy hunk into the mix but I'm not sure who it should be:Angel,Remy or my own creation, let me know who you think. May also add some of my own OC characters into the storyline too if I continue enjoy the story guys, I'll try writing more to see how it goes.
