the demon inside us both // ghosty

The actions of yourself do not go unnoticed. The dark maroon red scares the animals, their fallen allies blood, the blood of the animals that you murdered. And the breath that you were holding, waiting for the fun to begin comes out. A laugh that silences happiness. A laugh that no one laughs with; a laugh that scares all around. Even inside myself. 

And even then, the animals are screaming, their cacophony a sweet, sweet sound, sweeter than a cooing baby, than the sweetest honey in the world. And inside, the wrestling match inside is a losing battle, a giant monster fighting the angel inside. And the angel wins inside. The tears are streaming down your face, a tribute to the beast inside. A swift goodbye to the animals. You rush into the house next door, and clean yourself up. I need to go out.

The door behind, a silent gate to the world outside is broken now, and world has a demon waiting you need to be yourself. A silent street, apart from the boy, who I seem to know. And then a click! A boy from school. I know him! You want to bellow out loud, his name and yours. But you follow him. And he ends up walking faster. But he's not the same. "Travis. You can run away from me Travis!" You bellow after him, but all he does is shout back in reply, "Leave me alone! Stop! No! Stop! I am going crazy!" 

And all you want is to help him. "Travis? Are you okay? It's me. It's Bree. " And you know that he's not alright, he's not okay. And the tears are streaming down your face, his hands scrumpled over his face. And inside you, something is laughing, a gleeful song of his pain.
