Last Redemption
(I wrote this song if you're wondering where it came from.)
The blonde teenager sat in his room, propped up against the windowsill. Rain dribbled down the other side of the glass. The meridian gaze followed a droplet of water down its unfocused course. They reminded him of tears.
In years to come,
You will be older
I will be young
In years to come
In days gone past
I was a baby
You didn't last
In years gone past
The blonde reached up to rub his eye, noticing the moisture on his fingertips as he brought them back.
Well my father, I love you
But when I show it, you understand, don't you?
And Dad I want to, be beside you
To make up, for lost time
He hugged his knees against his chest, burying his face in bright blue jeans, the chains at his waist clinking with his slow movements.
In months to fly
You and me'll collide
An eye for an eye
In months to fly
The hours that tick
You and me'll laugh
Our love will stick
In the hours that tick
In time that moves
You will be with me
We'll keep it smooth
In time that moves
Demyx suddenly wanted his mother's presence, her soft words and her soft skin at his ear.
In years ahead
You'll be dead
And Dad I'll miss you
In years ahead
He couldn't go on like this, he felt so broken.
Well my father, I love you
But when I show it, you understand, don't you?
And Dad I want to, be beside you
To make up, for lost time
His eyes moved back to the window, following the freshwater tears as they dribbled. His father was somewhere, he'd find him one day.
And on that last day
When you've gone to heaven
Dad, I'll miss you
And that's not a lie
He turned his eyes up to the moon, sniffling before he shut them tight, waiting for his senses to dull into sleep: the last words on his mind.
You didn't mean to daddy.
