Chapter 8
Donavin watched as his daughters fiancée collapsed and she screamed his name. She started crying as he said, "You should have listened to me sweetheart." As it seemed, no matter what he did, he would always care for her some. He knew that she hated him so he didn't pay any attention to the feelings of regret and remorse that were triggered by her sobs. He stood there until James breathed his last breath. Donavin didn't care how many people it took. He would get it into Sylvia's thick head that she was his and his alone. He knew this sort of scene all too well. He was accustomed to her tears. After all he had hurt her so much that he didn't notice. He turned his back and walked out the door. He paused on the front porch and gazed at his daughter, bent over her lovers' body, sobbing like the world was at an end. He could hear the radio still going and stayed just long enough to listen to the song that had caught his attention.
I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all of my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
Because your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I've held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
But now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I've held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
And though you're still with me
I've been alone all along (My Immortal)
That would have described me and her less than a year after her mother was gone. He thought. But not anymore.
Sorry I haven't updated this for a while. I was on vacation. But I'm back now, so it's all better.
Longshot: You're welcome.
