Day after day, night after night, in the shadows the monstrous figure lay.
Trapped in his own world of fear, pain, anger, genius, and madness, no one was there to know that there was a side of him that also was of love, care, and compassion.
He didn't mean for it to get this far but he fell in love.
Unknownst to him, his love had turned into an obsession that he himself could not even control.
Just to be near her, he had to lie about who he was and for that he felt deep shame.
Each time, he was getting so much closer and closer. He spoke with words and kind thoughts of the life he wished for her and secretly for him. But alas at the end none of it would work.
Being her "angel of music" was not he first bargained for.
Not what he had planned for at all.
Being her protector was enough but time grew and he himself began to get his parts or his own characters in his real-life play confused with one another.
He couldn't comprehend the differences between the truths and the lies.
Now she would know him, the real him, before it was too late. Then she would become his and they'd become one forever.
