Train Wreck

By Dai

Johnny sat in the middle of the apartment's carpeted floor, staring at the pile of books and pens in front of him. He looked up, eyes glancing around nervously, then darting to the door to Edgar's bedroom.

Would your love and all its finery

tear at the darkness all around me

Kicking the book in front of him closed with his boot, he stood up and glanced around once more before heading towards Edgar's bedroom. He opened the door and peeked inside, just barely able to make out the sleeping form in the darkness.

until I can breathe again

until I believe again

Leaving the door open just a crack, he edged inside and shut it. He took in the contents of the room, eyes immediately flying to the action figure on Edgar's bedside table.

'Cause I'm a train wreck waiting to happen

waiting for someone to come pick me up off the tracks

Nny hurried over to the figure and picked it up, staring at it for a moment in silence. He growled in frustration and went over to Edgar's dresser, shoving the action figure into one of the drawers.

a wild fire born of frustration

He jumped at the sound of Edgar's mattress squeaking as he shifted in his sleep, mumbling something incoherent.

born of the one love that gets me so high

I've no fear at all

Johnny watched the sleeping figure for a few moments before returning to the task at hand. He turned around and walked over to Edgar's window, drawing the curtains and opening the window to let in the moonlight.

Would your eyes like midnight fireflies

light up the trenches where my heart lies

Turning around once more, he glanced at Edgar and couldn't help but stare for a few moments at how the moonlight hit his pale face, making the scars on his cheeks darker and clearer.

until I can see again

to find my way back again

Shaking his head, he hurried over to Edgar's closet and opened it, immediately frowning as he began pulling clothes off hangers.

'Cause I'm a train wreck waiting to happen

waiting for someone to come pick me up off the tracks

He stopped after taking Edgar's trench coat off the hanger and looked at it. He glanced at Edgar, who mumbled nonsense again. Johnny shrugged the coat on and went back to exploring.

a wild fire born of frustration

Nny picked up the lamp on Edgar's desk, and then put it back down sideways, taking interest in something else. He began opening Edgar's dresser drawers again, pulling out clothes at random.

born of the one love that gets me so high

I've no fear at all

Johnny shook his head violently before folding the clothes again and shoving them hastily back into their drawers. He opened the bedroom door again and walked out, turning on all the lights except Edgar's bedroom light as he went.

To fall so deep into you

lose myself completely

More mumbling from Edgar's room, louder this time and Nny stopped in his tracks. He turned around and returned to the bedroom.

He put the trench coat back into Edgar's closet.

in your sweet embrace

all my pain's erased

Hesitantly, he walked towards Edgar's bed. He stopped at the edge of it and looked out the window, staring at the moon as it stared back at him.

From your mouth it's all that I wish

the mercy of your lips just one kiss

Nny shook his head again and sat down on the edge of the bed. Edgar's softened breathing stopped and returned to normal as he awoke.

until I can breathe again

until I can sing again

"You asked me... You asked me if there was anything that made me happy."

'Cause I'm a train wreck waiting to happen

waiting for someone to come pick me up off the tracks

"Yeah..." came Edgar's groggy response.

a wild fire born of frustration

"The moon... The moon does...make me happy. The moon and the stars...look at it..."
