“I have these moments, or maybe just random thoughts every so often. These thoughts are dark. They aren’t something I’m proud of. But, at the same time, they keep coming to me. No matter how much I try to get rid of them, they keep coming back.”

“I think, and I try, and I wonder why. There is a part of me that just wishes I could cut my ties with you. If I could cut out this heart of mine, so I wouldn’t have to feel the things I did toward you – all that love and compassion… then I wonder if I would do it.”

“The problem about this mindset, though, is it is very easy to cause this to happen. A few hours gone awry, and you’d be gone. It’d be easy to be where I’m at with you gone… but then, at the same time, I know that isn’t true. My feelings for you are too complex for that.”

“Sarge, if you find yourself reading this, I love you, but… I still have a desire to be free. I don’t want to be chained to you for all of my life. This is nothing against you, you’ve done everything in your power to extend that chain, or to cut it completely. But, at the end of the day, it just doesn’t work. I’m still your jacket. I won’t be anything more than that.”

“I know we’ve talked about it, but I feel like I’m still a tool. I wish to be able to be myself for more than just those four hours. I wish I could be more. How would your life feel if you were in my shoes? You’re a very empathetic person, so I know you’d understand… so I just wanted you to know that this is my mindset at the current time.”

“If this makes you want to remove the jacket and never put it on again, I will understand. My desire to sever ties is not to say I don’t want you around, but it is because I don’t want to be held back by strings that I cannot control. Strings that make up the patchwork of my life.”

There was a reply:

“Chomby, I’m sorry. I love you dearly, and I do want the best for you. I wish with all my heart we could find a way to make it so you are not stuck with me. Yet, my power is limited. Apparently, the power of everyone I know, and/or have contacted is limited, too.”

“You are still such an oddity in this world of uncertainty. I try and figure out what you are, and I still can’t find the answer. But if I had to make one, then I’d say that you are my dearest friend, and I would do anything for you. I’ve already given you the solution that we both talked about, and if this is truly how you feel, then I will stand firmly on this case.”

“I will leave the choice in your hands. But, no matter the outcome, I will always be there for you, Chomby. I love you.”

This is the cover art for the song: Patchwork Stacatto! Enjoy: https://youtu.be/epGnhU-rhIE

Originally, the song is supposed to be whispered, but I kinda like how it is with Chomby's voice. SO, I went with it!
