Work Text:

The sunglasses aren't enough.
I try to block out the light.
It's all too much.
Her face is a blur.
I try to remember,
But I can't.
The beach.
The ocean.
The sea cucumber.
I remember it all.
Except for her.
My sunglasses break
And the light hurts even more.

The bandages aren't enough.
He showed up after so long.
He's a father of two now.
They look up to him.
I know why he did that.
He wanted to protect them,
To amend for what happened to her.
I still can't see her face.
My new sunglasses can't help either.
So I take them off
And wrap the bandages tightly,
Until they fall off.
The light continues to hurt.

The blindfold isn't enough.
I stopped remembering her voice.
I don't care anymore.
After all this time,
I still can't stand the light.
I loved her.
I still miss her.
She's why I can't move on.
I see another face
And my heart hurts.
I need to see her again.
It's lonely without her.
It's all too much.
I lower the blindfold
And the light burns my sight.

The Prison Realm isn't enough.
I fell for his lie
And succumbed to darkness.
I'm stuck in an empty void
Surrounded by terrible monsters.
I know they'll save me,
But it won't matter.
I lost track of how long it's been.
Now I spend my days dreaming.
Dreaming of what could have been.
I miss her.
I miss her.
I miss her.
I miss her so much.

I can't take it anymore.
I need to see her.
I don't want to be strong.

Just let me sleep.
