Title: Helpless?

It's often the sweetest, most kind girls who get trapped with a drestructive monster. Why? Because those girls are taught never to abandon someone in need, someone who needs them. And that's all it takes to get them trapped forever...a tiny "I need you."

Helpless
by Mask

I was young, I was hopeful.
He saw my youth, He fed my hope.
"I am weak." His eyes would fix on mine, penetrating,
waking my naive, sleeping spirit.
"But
I am strong," I would insist.
He needed me.
He held my hand.
"I am restless."
I felt his confusion,
his wandering.
"But
I stand still," persisted I.
He needed me.
He held my mind.
"I will die."
Now my tears fell
I grasped his neck, I
clung to his frame--
"You will live,"
My voice is fierce,
"The life within me
shall be yours, we
will share my light."
He held my heart.
He needs me, thought. He needed me.
Didn't he?
"Yes," he whispered,
"your light, all your light, and yours
alone." I am lost
in his embrace, Blinded by his arms
surrounded in darkness.

very true, and that was very good.

*squee* Thanks. I thought I might've been a little poetically morbid, though. Think I should soften it, a bit?
