Summary: A tumultuous ending.

---------------

~*~When all is said and done, where do you turn?~*~

"It's over!"

~*~When all is said and done, who do you look to?~*~

"I don't care! It's over!"

"Listen to what you're saying!"

~*~When all is said and done, where do you go for answers?~*~

"I'm leaving! And nothing you can say will change my mind."

"You can't leave me!"

"I'm leaving and I'm not coming back."

~*~When all is said and done, how do you stop the tears?~*~

"You've broken me! You pushed too hard too much! I can't keep coming back.

"Please don't cry. We can sort this out, just come back."

"I don't know whether I want to hit you or just hate you."

"Don't go."

~*~When all is said and done, how do you find the words?~*~

"Don't apologise, it has no meaning when you do."

"I'm sorry."

"You never mean it. You always say it, but you *never* mean it!"

"I'm sorry."

"You're always so bloody wordy! But it's bullshit. Every word of it."

~*~When all is said and done, how do you find the truth?~*~

"You lied and you cheated and you drove me away!"

"What the hell have I done to deserve this?!"

"You're a lying, cheating, peace of shit!"

"What are you talking about?"

~*~When all is said and done, how do you look for peace?~*~

"We can't do this any more."

"Please… Think about what you're saying!"

"This… Us… It isn't working any more."

~*~When all is said and done, how do you begin?~*~

"We need to talk."

"Craig! What an unexpected surprise!"

~*~When all is said and done, why is it that we can always speak the words to a door, but never to a face?~*~

"I love you, Karl…"
