Underneath It All

by afterallthestars

Because every boy you've fallen for; Has hurt you, used you; And you don't know how much more; You can take before you break; And you don't have enough Band-Aids; To cover all the wounds to your heart. Seddie. Freeverse.

A/n- I own nothing you recognize.

You /f/e/e/l/ his eyes on the back of your head

But you just |t|e|l|l| yourself

He's only looking at your perfect best friend

You'd :n:e:v:e:r: be enough for him

(Who would want someone like you anyways?)

That's right, no one

Because you hide behind a mask

And nobody /k/n/o/w/s/ the true girl underneath

;~;

Your mother still |b|l|a|m|e|s| you

For your father's disappearance

She says if he loved you, he might've stayed

And you don't know why that hurts so much

But you put up your /m/a/s/k/

And :p:r:e:t:e:n:d: it doesn't bother you

(But, secretly, the truth kills you inside)

Is that when you started to |l|i|e|?

So the truth couldn't :h:u:r:t: you anymore

;~;

Your father leaving left you with more

Than just a /b/r/o/k/e/n/ heart

It left you with trust issues

(You've always been unable to trust easily)

And a :t:e:m:p:e:r: the size of Texas

;~;

You hide yourself inside a |m|a|s|k|

(But do you honestly know yourself?)

Just so nobody knows how weak you are

Instead, you :c:a:u:s:e: others pain

The pain that you feel |c|o|n|s|t|a|n|t|l|y|

And it makes everyone terrified of you

(It sort of makes you feel empowered)

;~;

But that all changed because of that one boy

The boy your :w:e:r:e:n:':t: supposed to fall for

(He's in love with your best friend, after all)

The shear thought of being in love

Frightens you beyond belief

Because |e|v|e|r|y| boy you've fallen for

Has hurt you, used you

And you don't /k/n/o/w/ how much more

You can :t:a:k:e: before you break

And you don't have enough Band-Aids

To cover all the |w|o|u|n|d|s| to your heart

;~;

But he says everything

You've always wanted to hear

(You're beautiful; I need you; I love you)

And he's everything you /w/i/s/h/ you could be

(Funny; kind; loving)

;~;

In the end, he :b:r:e:a:k:s: through

To you and your mask

He |s|e|e|s| the broken child underneath it all

He understands why you hid

And honestly, he's a /b/e/t/t/e/r/ remedy

For your broken heart than those Band-Aids

(They just cover the wounds; he wants to heal them)

;~;

You may not be everything he |w|a|n|t|e|d|

But you're everything he'll ever need

And he tells you that :e:v:e:r:y: day

;~;

The two of you maybe opposites

Like fire&ice

Or the sun&moon

But you fit like /p/u/z/z/l/e/ pieces

And that's all that |r|e|a|l|l|y| matters

A/n- So this is my second Seddie freeverse. (My first one was talking to Freddie and it's called Perfectly Imperfect)

Please, please don't favorite without leaving a review :)
