We’re talking like normal
Something mindless that I can’t even remember now
But it’s exciting and enjoyable
Because it's them!
I love them
There was a tug on my sleeve
They keep going, not noticing
But I feel it
It tugs again
Trying to grab my attention
I hiss
Refusing to look down
But the message gets across
And the tugging stops
It was too soon
We’re talking like normal
Something sad that I can’t even remember now
But I’m listening and comforting
Because it’s them
I love them
But there was a tug on my sleeve
The conversion dies down for but a minute
Once more they’re blind to it
But I feel it
And the tug pulls my body toward the force
Begging to be seen again
I curse
Turning my head away so I don’t have to look
The message gets across
Though it took longer that time
I knew it was bound to come up
We’re talking a little different this time
Something sweet that I can’t even remember now
But we’re cuddling and touching
Because it’s them
I love them
And there was a tug again
I went silent, they never took notice
But I feel it
Tugging and grasping onto me desperately
I hesitated
Looking down
She doesn’t meet my gaze
Her eyes are locked onto them
A sparkle within those brown eyes
I glance at them as well
They ask and once more I hesitate
They shouldn’t meet each other
It will end horribly
But i wanted them to know her
Wanted them to know me
I decide to step aside
Slipping into the depths I don’t often slip into
She typically resides there
But maybe… Maybe just this once I’ll let her take the lead
They’re yelling
Something aggressive that I can remember clearly
But it’s mean and hurtful
Because…
I love them
But they’re attacking her
I emerge once more
Curses falling past my lips
I should have never trusted them with her
I should have kept her silent just as I always do
She cries
Cries like that’s all she’s ever known what to do
But they don’t care
They keep blowing smoke into her face
I try to pull her back
She needs protection
She’s too young
But I can’t
I can’t protect her
They lunge forward
I can’t protect her
They drive their hand into her chest
I love them
They rip her heart out
Does love bleed like this?
They crush it between their fingers
Like it never meant anything to them
She wails and only after the damage is done am I able to step in
But it doesn’t matter
They already crushed it
They already cut into her skin
They already pulled tears
I trusted them with her
With my heart
And they treated it like a parasite.
I hate them.
