"Remember who you really are"

Chiodos "A Letter From Janelle"


Why can't he see?

Those eyes that shine with the most intense grey

those eyes are far from blind.

They see, they see, they see

everything

but they just choose to ignore it

because, baby, it's easier that way.

If he pretends not to see it

then it doesn't hurt so much

(at the moment.)

The time will come

he knows it, you know it, we all fucking know it,

when his whole world will colla-p-s-e

and all that pain will hit him at once.

He knows it

(it scares him.)

But, for now it doesn't really matter.

Now, he chooses to ignore that

with every inhalation

with every step

with every exhalation

he is getting

c-l-o-s-e-r

cl-o-s-e-r

clo-s-e-r

clos-e-r

close-r

closer

to that moment

when the dam breaks

and he falls with it.

All of the missed moments

with family&friends&you

will make themselves known.

He'll regret

but regrets don't get

anyone

anywhere

because it's too late.

He's lost everything in this damned world

his brother

his best friend

his you

over something meaningless

over something that's going to kill him

in the

e n d.

And she, that evil succubus

with no intention

to cradle his heart

&with every intention

to lead it into darkness

She's hanging onto his arm

like he was some object

like he was just another boy

(he's not, he's not, he's not)

Her sickeningly sweet whispers

are telling him

whatever

he wants to hear

and he's buying them

he's holding onto them

(because he has to hold onto something.)

It kills you to sit back

and watch this plan fold out

because you know she doesn't give a

shit

about him

but it's not your place to say anything.

x

So, darling, you have to simply

wait&hope&wish

that someday soon

his cold grey eyes will

see

what's happening

before it's too

l a t e

before he becomes too tangled in her web

before he gets in too deep with the darkness

before he becomes too b-r-o-k-e-n for repair.

but, more than anything

before he forgets the person he was

(the person you love(d))


The lyrics at the beginning belong to the band "Chiodos."

This was done from the pov of Aaralyn, who is one of my OCs. "Wishing on Stars" and "It Doesn't Really Matter" are other stories of mine with her in them. The "succubus" mentioned is also another OC of mine from "It Doesn't Really Matter."

I love that fanfiction helps me sort out my thoughts. It's hard to think that I never used to write it, haha.

Thanks mew for betaing! *Hands a basket of Bills*
