annd a close up:3
I would love you as if you were my own, My own to love, and my own to mourn, I would card my fingers through the tidal curls, And sweep past all the dirt crumbs you had, Because you rolled in damp swamp grass.
I would protect you, from anyone else who dare harm you, Even if you are a fighter and I, a writer, You seem to need me so I will guide you so, Little soldier, you should've stayed a child for a little while longer, It was not your time to see piercing spears and impaling blades on a blood strewn battlefield, Young minds are not meant to don old armor, But why, oh why in my naivete did I lead you here?
Please don't follow me, not anymore, I have no trust in myself to hold your guiding torch, I might burn you with a single blind swing, Just as I had all that long ago when I singed my own wings, I have a lot to say, but too little courage to tell; Apologies are on the tip of my tongue, but they can't seem to spill.
Little child I love like my own, If you were to forgive the one who raised you, Would they not hurt you anymore?
I will give you every reason I could think of, so you would let go, I'm afraid if you stay by my side for longer than you need to, I'd harm you just like all those years ago, I never lay a hand against you, but I broke that porcelain pedestal, And the shards of porcelain left bleeding cuts I could not mend.
I'm sorry, my dear, I wish you the best.
Knock me down between the eyes,
Eyes of man that crust with gunpowder and long gone cigarette smoke,
Knock me down,
I deserve it,
Little brother o' mine
Let me earn it.
Knock on the door,
Over lily of valleys,
Hung over the frame
Of what once was two,
three against the world,
And you used to mean the world to me,
I don't think that's ever changed,
Second son o' mine, brother o' mine,
Let me go, I'd die a second time
Let me go,
I need to go.
You don't need to earn an apology from me,
Just that you are asking for an apology,
From a coward, that is me,
I need you to stay,
(I want you to go away)
Just like the old days,
(I've come back to my old ways)
With you by my side,
and I by yours,
'You need to let them heal without you'
So I will let you heal without me,
I'd die a second time to make everyone happy,
Except I'd die only in others eyes,
I'd be a wandering man, a breathing ghost,
A husk of flesh and bone
and once long ago flags and never-sung-again songs,
If I am the problem,
then I will remove myself from the equation,
Give you a quick solution,
I've returned to my roots,
my roots underground,
Brother o' mine, would you wish to come around?
I was rewatching the Hitting on 16 vod and holy shit I think I cracked the code to as why the dynamic between c!crimeboys in the final c!Wilbur lore stream felt off.
No, because now all of this makes sense. The finale of Wilbur’s story makes sense. c!crimeboy's dynamic isn’t what it used to be in Lmanberg. It’s changed and c!Tommy is used to the way Wilbur uses words now. It has “no effect on Tommy anymore. They just make him a little frightened”
Tommy: “You’re scaring me” Wilbur: “I don’t want to scare you” Tommy: “Well you are Will!”
This exchange makes sense.
“He felt he had done something wrong simply by posing his pov and he felt like the antagonist when all he wanted was an answer”
The entire stream, whatever felt off between them, it all makes sense now
c!Tommy wants answers to his questions. c!Wilbur is unwilling to give them to him. That is, until c!Tommy resorted to violence just as he had seen was effective all throughout his childhood midst war and more prominently in his exile
“I don’t know why I did that… I didn’t use to be this angry” Frightened of abandonment because he could see the fragments of a broken man, his brother, who had been held together with a single bandage since his revival slowly start falling out of place.
And all c!Tommy wanted was an answer to his questions.
But Tommy’s only ever been antagonised for them.
