Better This Way

Savior

A new Jimon. I need feedback on this story so...do your thing guys.

Please and Thank you!

**********

It kills me not to know this
But I've all but just forgotten
But the color of her eyes were
And her scars or how she got them
As the telling signs of age rain down
A single tear is droppin'
Through the valleys of an aging face
That this world has forgotten

This was what he lived for.

This was his dream. This was what he wanted the first time he held a guitar in his hands.

This was what he and...no. He wasn't going to think of him.

Simon shook his head. He had to focus.

He grinned at the audience as he continued to sing. He knew his friends were watching him and he relaxed. He wouldn't be here without them.

Which was more than he could say for some people.

There is no reconciliation
That will put me in my place
And there is no time like the present
To drink these draining seconds
But seldom do these words ring true
When I'm constantly failing you
Like walls that we just can't break through
Until we disappear

So tell me now
If this ain't love
Then how do we get out?
'Cause I don't know

That's when she said
"I don't hate you, boy, I just want to save you
While there's still something left to save"
That's when I told her
"I love you, girl, but I'm not the answer
For the questions that you still have"

Oh oh oh
And the day pressed on like crushing weights
For no man does it ever wait
Like memories of dying days
That deafen us like hurricanes
Bathed in flames we held the brand
Uncurled the fingers in your hand
Pressed into the flesh like sand
Now do you understand?

So tell me now
If this ain't love
How do we get out?
'Cause I don't know

That's when she said
"I don't hate you, boy, I just want to save you
While there's still something left to save"
That's when I told her
"I love you, girl, but I'm not the answer
For the questions that you still have"

Oh oh oh
One thousand miles away
There's nothing left to say
But so much left that I don't know
We never had a choice
This world is too much noise
It takes me under
It takes me under once again

I don't hate you
I don't hate you, no

But tell me now
If this ain't love
Then how do we get out?
'Cause I don't know

That's when she said
"I don't hate you, boy, I just want to save you
While there's still something left to save"
That's when I told her
"I love you, girl, but I'm not the answer
For the questions that you still have"

Oh oh, I don't hate you
I don't hate you
Oh oh, I don't hate you
No, I don't hate you
Oh oh

He didn't see blue and brown eyes staring at him as if he was God. He didn't see pink lips parted in awe and lust.

"Wow..." a shaky exhale which no one heard.

He sang with all his heart and soul.

This was what he was meant to do.
