I'm dead in the water, still looking for ya'
A nod, I could feel the vibrations that his body gave off into the ground around me. I could feel his silent agreement, but he still offered a murmur of recognition. I ask that he assist, should he not be doing anything important. And, as he turns towards what I assumed was the tent he claimed that he was not. I doubted this, I really did. But I would accept the words that fell from his lips if it made him feel better. So, as he began to move I followed, asking how he was doing. Silence was what was returned, and I figured it was because he did not wish to burden me with his troubles. Part of me wished he would, for I knew it could make him feel better - letting it off of his chest. Still, I tried to push forward a little bit, to let him know that I was there. His voice wasn't as strong as it had been. "Yours is valued too, Midas. But this does not mean you must stand alone." I said, reaching out to press my maw against him around his shoulder. "I am glad I met you, but I can tell something must be bothering you. Your voice is a little different, there was a pause." I explain, ears flickering toward where he was as we came in closer and closer to the tent. "You cannot always be strong. And when you have to break… know I will be there for you as best I can," I could only hope that he would understand. I could only hope that the one who had been there for me, a strong leader since I had come here, would accept the comforting hand that I had for him. I knew what it was like to think you always had to be strong… and it broke you even more than when you allowed yourself time to shatter. You see, I considered Midas a brother - and I would always be there for family, as I hoped they would always be there for me. |
Mystified, just spinning 'round in circles
Drowning in the silent screaming with nothing left to say
