Okay another odd one from Cross!
Trust me I have no idea why these come to my head….okay maybe I do but blame the songs I hear!
Not me!
You may find it odd, to see a grown man playing with dolls. You see how the children we perform for laugh and smile at us, how they point at us and sing and dance with her. And yet the parents that watch, you know that under those masks they wear laughing along with their children, you see the glint in their eyes, the slight strain in their smile. And yet we ignore it. After all why should we care? Why would it matter to me why they care if I play with you?
"Rukia you don't care do you?"
Silence.
"Heh, I didn't think so" looking out the window I watch the water droplets fall from the grey sky, and I smile you hate rain don't you?….of course you do. You hate how it ruins your dresses, make your short raven hair stick to your face, and your makeup run. But mostly you hate that I have to fuss over you, right?
"Rukia, you're too much"
Silence.
I chuckle slightly. Looking over to you I see you sitting in your chair, surrounded by black lace curtains, perfect and precise just like a doll. Your eyes large and beautiful, glass like mirrors of amethyst. Your hair black like the raven, soft and like silk. Your skin pure white like snow.
"Beautiful."
Was it so long ago that we met?
I remember that day as if it were yesterday. It was years ago when I was but a teenager, in a store I saw you sitting there, just as you are right now. Perfect and precise. Clothed in a coal black mini dress, puffed shoulders tight long sleeves hugging your thin arms, high collar with white lace, knee high spider leggings, black high heeled shoes, with a cross around your neck as well as on your dress, tied all together with a small hat on the side of your head. Instantly I feel in love with you…call me crazy, call me a freak but no matter what, my heart reaches towards you, for you only.
"I love you, Rukia"
Silence.
I run my hand through my thick white hair. My green eyes search the apartment for you already knowing that your still in the same place I left you. Laying on my bed I can't help but think of how those children loved your dancing, your jokes, how the boy's thought you were cuter than other girls, how the girl's loved your clothes and looks.
I let a smile fall onto my lips as I look up at the ceiling. Letting the light of the moon illuminate my face, allowing me to see you. I can't help but also think of those adults who are properly the same age as myself; if not older.
They look at us as if we are a disease. Not fit to even be in public, if only they got to know you, then they would know. See how you truly bring happiness to the children, how you make me happy. But no one cares for us and our work. No one has the time anymore to just relax and live life.
"I make you happy as well right, Rukia?"
Silence.
I turn to look at you sleeping peacefully like an angel. And I automatically know that your smiling. If not for me you'd still be in that store, with that man watching you, not knowing where you'd be the next day. I let my eyes rest on you for a moment before I finally let sleep embrace me, only to think of you.
You're my Rukia. My doll. My marionette.
Me- see told you this one was a freaky one…O.O
I'm sorry! But it just wouldn't let me rest until I wrote it down…so yeah
It's too short in fact this is the shortest thing I've EVER written!
but I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not! Hahhaha
Please read and review what you think, and if you have any questions.!
