the woman (i'll take care of you)
Description
he lived his life in shadows, constantly afraid of the light. then he met her, the embodiment of the sun. stars fell from her heels every step she took and she shone bright. burned like fire, light coming from every corner when she was around. and he decided for a fiery rose like her, he had to be a lion.
this is how it starts. he stands in front of the castle, the brothel, that now belongs to him. only he wants to burn it down. he wants to build a fire big enough to engulf them all. this is no heaven. this is his personal hell, wrapped like a gift, pushed into his hands as if he asked for it.
she stands, a few feet away and she smiles as bright as the summer sun, the kind of light he was only getting used to. he looks her in the eyes and he notices how swollen they was. he clenches his fist thinking i'll become a lion, i'll become a lion, for you i'll become a lion.
Foreword
"And her stone-wash denim jeans are darker than they seem/
And oh, I've got a woman now//
And boy there's something different about your mouth/
And you try chasing dreams, man it's harder than it seems/ And oh, I've got a woman now"
- The 1975, Woman
"You are a rose in the field where wolves walk/
I'll become a lion/ I'll become a lion/ I'll become a lion"
- Giriboy, Take Care Of You

i'm not quite satisfied with this story as i'd like to be but nevertheless this was a product of a story idea that had always got me thinking - sorta like romeo and juliet but not exactly romeo and juliet. woman is one of my favorite songs and so is take care of you and they both sort of have the same story and i thought man, what a rush it would be to write about it so i did and i hope it was alright. cheers!
