#4« 'Murphy'

This was supposed to be published nearly a week ago...

Sorry for the delay!!

I sigh.

Not again...

Every time he's upset, he takes it out on me...

Even now, he knows it's his own fault, and I do too, but he's still trying to pin it on me.

I can get why he wants to do that; no one wants to face her wrath.

But still, I'm not taking the blame for something this big, and when I even tried to warn him against this, and he still took it forward.

Not wanting to blow up at him (even though this is all his doing), I plug in my headphones.

Without even thinking, I play a song.

Triptyq's 'Murphy' starts playing...

I sit down on the floor, leaning on the immaculate white wall behind me.

Those puppy eyes of his look into mine.

I know this. He's trying to will me into bearing the blame.

I shake my head.

He sighs, but keeps going at it.

The vocals start...

"As the morning dew starts anew, I can make the day 

As the church bells ring, I can hear them pray 

As the world goes mad, I pretend I'm not there" 

He's still staring into my eyes...

I just shrug, indicating that I won't cave in...

"But let him be, Take me 

I won't delay, I'll find a way 

Murphy, hear me, Mountain in me stand 

Murphy, reach me, Brother, take my hand 

We'll fly past this prison 

Lift the marble high 

Wait for me" 

He's still going at it, but his eyes have visibly softened.

Though I told myself I won't cave in, compassion drips into my mind, dripping drop by drop...

"Then wilted away like a withered leaf, so drained 

All he once had been taken away 

But wait I can't leave you 

But let him be, take me 

I won't delay, I'll find a way 

Murphy, hear me, Mountain in me stand 

Murphy, reach me, Brother, take my hand 

We'll fly past this prison 

Lift the marble high 

Wait for me"
