Work Text:
I know I don’t deserve her by my side. She’s so good, far too good for someone like me.
He says she doesn’t deserve us, but he’s lying.
She’s kind, and beautiful, she’s so pure I can’t believe I can even be in her presence.
He corrects me that she’s naïve and stupid, but he’s wrong.
She’s an angel, my princess that will never truly be mine.
His toy, a useless plaything.
I want to love her.
He loves her, so he wants to destroy her.
I know that truth, I know everything about him. He’s me, except he’s not, but his mind is within mine, and I can feel his feelings.
He hates her because he loves her.
No, because I do.
He hates her, he hates me. He hates everything that’s weak, and I’m the weakest there is, so he needs to get rid of me.
But I can’t, because he’ll hurt her.
I need to fight him, to stop him, with all I can.
He’s stronger than me. He’s always been, he’s the strong side.
I’m too weak to protect her.
I’m too useless, but I still need to try, to at least prolong the inevitable.
It is inevitable.
Sooner or later, he’ll take over, as much as I’m afraid of him, I know he will.
He knows too, I can feel him waiting for his chance like some wild animal just waiting for the chance to pounce, to kill.
There is no escape.
The darkness inside of me, it’s more than I can handle.
The only way to stop him is for us both to die.
Not that I’m good enough even for that. I don’t deserve the end of all this, I need to stay here and payback my savior, prove to her that she was right to save me.
I need to play my part.
But she likes him more than me. She helped create him, she wants him, I can tell she wants me gone too.
I can tell I’m not enough for her.
He can’t take over.
He’ll destroy the girl we both love, because he loves her, but he can’t love, he can only destroy.
Pain is all he knows.
And the closer she gets, the more dangerous he becomes.
So I need to fight, to just keep it together, stay in control.
When have you ever been in control?
