Fyfe dangerfeild/Billy joels song 'She's always a woman'
Also if anyone has any ideas my other stories could take then send me a messae or a reveiw, cause I've hit a major wall of writers block, and that would be just a plain lovely thing to do :)
She can kill with a smile
Her lips curled up into angry snarl, she had spotted her final prey.
She can wound with her eyes
Her darkened and cruel eyes looked him over. How he used to love those eyes, but now they broke his heart.
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies
"I love you."
"No you don't, not anymore."
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child,
She giggled that hideously childish laugh. He remembered when she was a child. So innocent. So sweet.
But she's always a woman to me
She can lead you to love
She'd taken his heart many years before...
She can take you or leave you
But then she just left it in the wayside.
She can ask for the truth
But she'll never believe you
He remembered her childish innocence, when he used to lead her into situations she would know nothing about, and then when he told her the truth she scarcely believed him.
And she'll take what you give her, as long as it's free
"Fight back." She snarled, "Don't just take it, you useless pile of bones, fight back." He couldn't bring himself to hurt her.
Yeah, she steals like a thief
Those precious moments she'd stolen from his heart still lingered around her face. If she was still truly in there, she wasn't fighting very hard to get out.
But she's always a woman to me
Oh-she takes care of herself
She used to take such good care of him, making sure he still had those last few threads of humanity.
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
It was too early for her to turn into it. She should've been given more time as the loving, happy, strong willed girl she used to be.
Oh-and she never gives out
And she never gives in
When he brought himself to fighting back, they were at each other's throats for hours, neither one was going to give up or give in.
She just changes her mind
And she'll promise you more
Than the Garden of Eden
He had such high hopes for her, for them. They could've been so great together, an unstoppable force out to save the world time after time. Now to save the world he has to stop her.
Then she'll carelessly cut you
And laugh while you're bleedin'
Even though he was still lacking skin and blood, and actual organs, it still felt like every blow was someone cutting up his insides. What was worse was the pure undiluted pleasure he could see on her face every time she hurt him.
But she'll bring out the best
And the worst you can be
She always knew how to stop him when his dark side came out. He would carry on hitting until there was nothing left, but then she'd be beside him, keeping him just that little bit human. Making him better than he ever deserved to be.
Blame it all on yourself
It was his fault that she got stuck like this. If he'd just listened to all the warnings, just refused to let her come along, then she wouldn't have become this monster. But given the choice to go back and do it all again, he didn't know whether he could remove all of those memories from his life. She was what had kept him going these past few years.
Cause she's always a woman to me
She is frequently kind
"I did actually love you, you know...
And she's suddenly cruel
... I don't know why, I mean look at you. You're a monster, an abomination. Neither dead nor alive. A useless pile of bones, cold lifeless bones. No purpose in this pathetic shell that you call a life."
She can do as she pleases
If he doesn't stop her now, then no one will.
She's nobody's fool
And she can't be convicted
He will stop her, even if it kills the both of them. He will stop her.
She's earned her degree
And the most she will do
Is throw shadows at you
Wave after wave of shadows hit him, again and again. But he refused to fall. He threw all the magic he could at her, flame after flame. Occasionally catching her off guard with a wave of air. He had to time his shot with perfection. The opportunity came and he took it, firing one shot into her now blackened heart. She jerked backwards and looked at him with venom in her eyes, black blood spreading out from the hole in her chest. She reached out and he could feel the shadows seeping into his tired bones. He welcomed the numbing feeling, knowing his reason for living would soon be gone, so he had no reason to resist any more. He saw the mixture of joy, anger and pain flooding her dark eyes. A single tear left as she fell to the floor and those beautiful dark eyes went dull forever.
But she's always a woman to me
"I will always love you." Skulduggery's vision went dull for the last time.
Hope it wasn't too bad :)
