As I look up at the starry sky, Wistful thoughts come and fill up my mind. I know not how I can hate this so divine, But truly it is so unwanted this time. Crazed fantasies filling my head, I don’t think that I can escape what I dread. It’s hard to trust when you’ve been burned before. Trying harder only isolates you more. But when fate takes its course, I cannot prevent Falling in love, right this instant. Jovial lovers dance ‘round in mirth While I, all alone, can’t accept my own birth. Created solely on a scientist’s whim, The miraculous horror of my origin Is something that can’t be erased from my mind, My haunted memory, not with passing of time. Somehow she accepts me, but still I don’t see Whatever attractive she finds in me. I lurk in the night and I vanish at will I want to run from it all but she still Creeps up behind me, and I, motionless, Am unable to move so I cannot protest, Whispers to me, what I long to hear, That when she is with me, she does not fear. For this freak of a mutant, her love is much more Than I ever thought that I’d be cared for. It might be my doom, it might be from above, This mystery of why I’m falling in love |
CHARACTER COMPOSITION. This is NOT me. I have never fallen in love, and, more importantly, I am not gay. My character is male. I am not. His love interest is female. Mine isn't. PERIOD. Good, glad that is all straightened out. The character, "Illusion," real name Matthias Harding, was a genetic experiment, and emotionally shut himself off from the world thanks to both the agony of his existence and the physical and mental abuse of his first foster home. Nymph, aka Alexandria Waters, falls in love with him--frightening enough for him, but when he discovers that he might actually love her back, that totally shakes up his world (to the point of senseless violence against inanimate objects). The characters are from my comic "Heroless," which I have been meaning to start for a while now...
