A/N Another freeverse for you all. :) This one's about Derek.
A GOD IN RUINS
He was always the
goldenboy
the H – E – R – O
they all worshiped him
l/o/o/k/e/d up to him
with the perfect hair
and the perfect life
who got the
b
e
a
u
t
i
f
u
l
girl
he'd always loved
((in time, he'll be
her knight in shining whatever
but he's
not there yet))
...
Except his life isn't
PERFECT
because underneath
he's still the little lost boy
searching for his
daddy
but can never find him
((cause he's
gonegonegone))
and he doesn't
love his beautiful wife
quite
as much
as he
should
so everything
c
r
u
m
b
l
e
s
into thous1000ands
of tiny little pieces
...
Because he might be
their HERO
but he's only
A GOD IN RUINS
now
standing watching
e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g
he thought he was
catch alight
because as much he wants to
HE
CAN'T
SAVE
EVERYTHING
...
So he turns and walks away
((and one day soon he'll climb out of the ruins
and into the
arms of the woman he
HOPES
will be his
FOREVER))
...
Any thoughts?
