Disclaimer: I do not own Sweeney Todd.
Just something I wrote up while listening to some music.
I do not take a step towards him.
I circle around him, withdrawing as he stands.
His eyes are wild.
My heart doesn't beat.
It quivers.
He reaches out, beckoning me.
"Not a thing to fear, my love…" He takes me in his arms.
My dream is coming alive.
He speaks the words, "I do."
The light of the fire dances upon the wall.
He looks at me.
Our shadows dance upon the wall.
His lips meet mine with no hesitation.
We dance.
Sweeney Todd loves me.
His eyes… so soft…
They change.
In only a moment, everything falls.
The last look he gives me hurts more than the flames.
As I burn… as I die… four words pierce my heart.
He lied to me.
