The Start of Something...

The Man with the White Mask

I came back

I told you I would

How are you?

 

 

I didn't expect you to return

And I feel...

I don't know...

I want it to end.

I thought and thought

What does it mean to be happy again?

I wish I knew.

 

 

I can help you

I will help you

I promised, didn't I?

I never break my promises

Never.

 

 

Promise is a big word...

...just like love.

 

 

Promise is a big word

Love is a big word

So is hate

You said you hated love and the idea of it

But we can change the way you feel about those words

Hopefully you can look at love and promises of love differently-

In a good way of course.

 

 

How will you do that?

 

 

Well...

...I must get to know you

All I know is your name

Which probably isn't even your name at all

V.

Who names their child V?

It's very obscure.

Or is it short for something?

What does it stand for?

Would it happen to be V for Vendetta?

Judging from how you spoke previously

 

 

No, it does not stand for Vendetta

That's just a movie.

 

 

Oh!

You know of the movie then!

Have you watched it?

Do you like movies?

 

 

Movies...

Movies show the reality and fantasy of things in life

The characters in these movies reflect the personalities of people in the real world.

Life seems a lot better in the movies...

...I wish my life was a movie

Things would be easier.

 

 

Maybe you can live the life of a movie

As I said before and will say again

I'm here with you, I'm here for you

I'll help you through this

I promise!

I promise to help you love again and accept it from others

I promise to love you the way you wish to be loved

I promise to stay by your side and never leave you

I promise that you'll be able to finally walk around without that mask

I promise.

 

 

I appreciate the effort

I appreciate your promises

You've convinced me,

So I will try.

Please don't disappoint me or better yet...

...please don't break me more.

I won't be able to take it.

 

 

I won't!

I promise!

Now, will you let me in?

Finally?

Open your heart for me...

 

 

I will.

Chapter 1: It's so cool to actually find another poet ln AFF - I do some poetry here too and I had yet to find someone else who did, so I'm glad I found this ^-^ singularity is so expressive, as is this poem >.< I like it :3
