Basically a one shot to Demons by Imagine Dragons. Enjoy :)
When the days are cold
And the cards all fold
And the saints we see
Are all made of gold
When your dreams all fail
And the ones we hail
Are the worst of all
And the blood's run stale
I couldn't keep this up....not after all of this. As I glanced over to her, her soft chocolate brown curls falling over her face as she smiled at something her friends had said. I knew I had to tell her. But how....? Everything I had has been taken and I don't know what I could or should do. There isn't any hope left at all. And even though everyone seems perfect in this world they aren't. It's all a ruse, nothing else. I need to warn her. All the hopes, dreams, plans we had. I choked back a sob as I felt her look over at me. Her creamy hazel eyes full of concern. It took me all the courage I had to muster up a smile bold enough to convince her that I was fine. She looked unconvinced but still looked away again. We all looked up to them, she did at least. Literally adored them all. With all their fame and popularity, they seemed too perfect. All those famous stars, but I suspected it and I was smart enough to realize it. They were the worst part of this all and now only a handful are left with real emotions...
I wanna hide the truth
I wanna shelter you
But with the beast inside
There's nowhere we can hide
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come
She got up and came over to me, gently smiled and we decided to leave and go home. As we walked slowly hand in hand I couldn't help but raise my head up to the sky, the usual dull colour. Time was running out. As we passed in front of the park I saw little children playing in the sandbox, having fun on the swings, some just running around. All this would be gone. My eyes darted over to her. I couldn't tell her, she seemed so delicate and the truth would destroy her. I don't even have the option I had once. She is in danger wherever she is, because now my time is over too. The demons have taken over me and she isn't safe anymore. No matter what, these things will stay and the only way to keep her safe is to let her go, and this harsh reality is as good a sit gets.
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
Look into my eyes It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
We returned and as soon as we stepped inside I quickly bolted the door. She looked at me with a confused look and asked if everything was alright. I simply said yes and she then went to her room. I walked over to the balcony, opened the doors and stepped outside. I took in the view and touched the banister lightly. This used to be our favourite place. Wow how time flies. Sometimes I just wish I could tell her but I don't have the will to. I wish she could just look into my eyes and know the answer but then again I can't let her come close there is too much darkness inside me. I may seem like a better person on the outside but inside I am the same just like everyone else, broken and haunted. I also have all those problems and she was just too good for me. I couldn't burden her with my problems..
At the curtain's call
It's the last of all
When the lights fade out
All the sinners crawl
So they dug your grave
And the masquerade
Will come calling out
At the mess you've made
She was calling me for dinner. How long I was up here I had no idea. We ate in silence and that is when I realised she knew something and one look in her eyes confirmed my suspicion. So that's it then. She still is confused, constantly getting confused by their fake expressions because as soon as she looks away they crawl out and show their true colours. They keep trying to get to her, that is why they keep inviting her, them. All the ones left to all those events. They are all fakes and are trying to make her one of them and they'll keep calling her. Even sometimes criticizing her just so she can stoop down to their level...
Don't wanna let you down
But I am hell bound
Though this is all for you
Don't wanna hide the truth
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come
We had just finished dinner. She had gotten up to receive a call from her sister and then came back after a while and plopped down the couch next to me and told me how little Margaret was growing up so fast. She looked so happy and as I looked at her I realised I couldn't lie to her and the same feeling overcame me again. How long could I keep up this ruse, I thought. I don't want to let her down and she trusted me so much...she always has. How could I just go ahead and burst her bubble but I had to and try as I may she will realize it one day herself so why not from me? And even though I know I promised myself that I'd never tell I have to I have to tell her, it's for her own good and no matter what happens I'll have to face this on my own...I'll have to.....
They say it's what you make
I say it's up to fate
It's woven in my soul
I need to let you go
Your eyes, they shine so bright
I wanna save that light
I can't escape this now
Unless you show me how
I decided to go on a little walk by the lake. She said she wanted to go and I agreed and we left our house with warm mugs of coffee in our hands. I recalled how people say it's how you manage stuff and what you do that determines your whole life but in my case I believe it isn't in either of ours hands. These problems I have are too much and they are the ones doing all the plans. We talked quietly, making small talk and I realised that these things...these demons are woven tight and are a part of me and letting them go is gonna be hard so it would be better to let her go. She is too innocent and I cannot destroy her like this. That spark and brightness in her eyes does not deserve to be put out by someone like me and I just have to do something to save it and as I looked into her eyes, the first ray of sunshine peeked out from behind the dark canopy of clouds and I realised that the only way to save her and me was to tell her. She was the only person who could help me fight this and she could show me how to get rid of these problems. Those bright eyes could be the only way to get rid of these dark creatures inside me and as the sun fully peeked out from behind the skies my heart rejoiced after realising 2 things: one that after the long 5-month winters I was finally able to see the sun. And that secondly and most importantly I could let go, I could get rid of these problems and I looked forward to the new future with new hope rising out of me.
