Happiness
by Kirke
I'm observing him for months now, every day, looking, waiting, hoping
sometimes, and still I find myself struck by his beauty. My little
obsession had to start the first time I realized I want him, time and
later events only deepening my fixation. After one of those watching
sessions, after he left to his room, I tried to describe him in a song
but failed miserably. It's an impossible task for a human, even for a
musician, I bet for a poet even. Well, I'm not a poet, I wouldn't know.
Who the hell is he? Some kind of a fallen angel incarnated? I saw his
parents, they are no models and isn't that against the nature? Two
ordinary people could not create a person so perfect in every detail, I'm
sure there is a law agaist that in heaven.
Yes, I know that what I'm thinking about is stupid and sappy but I guess
I'm just a helpless romantic or rather he turned me into one. It's not my
fault, Darren just has that ability to make a stone drool and I'm not
made of stone, I'm a human of flesh and bone and have my eyes and heart.
He makes me want to howl for more, throw myself on him and have him once
again at this very moment but I know better than to disturb his
moment of happiness. He's always like that, after every time he dozes for
few minutes so I could look at him and admire. He just doesn't realise
what he is doing to me with those long eyelashes, those pouty lips you
want to drink from and that little smile that curves on his lips. In
moments like that he's more sad than savage, so stripped from all
defences, so tragic and vulnerable. So mine.
I sigh silently. If it was just about this, just about phisical
attraction and sex then I guess what we have here, now would be enough to
make us both happy. Well, I know I'm not happy and as I watch him dress
and leave after we had sex, it's not happiness I see in his eyes either.
Those are moments I have to fight the urge to run to him, kiss and
whisper all those silly words of love I can remember from hundrets of old
romantic movies. It would be so easy to beg him to love me in return, to
imagine that it would make him forget about the past and concentrate on
the future.
It's not shame that stops me from doing it, no, I accepted the fact that
he turns me into a love sick puppy with one glance a long time
ago, it's the ever present fear that he would not believe me or worse-
believe but didn't care. He was used so many times before, first by
Daniel, then by the other 'lovers' he had, that I couldn't blame him if
he thought of me as another liar.
This is so frustrating, having him and yet not having him at all, knowing
that the only man you ever loved is oblivious about your feelings and
more, thinks you are another heartless prick that wants nothing more than
sweat on you ever so often.
If I could, I would go and personally rip Daniel's heart out of his chest
and then, still beating, show it to Darren.
It is all that bastard's fault, he made Darren
fall in love with him, made him unhappy treating like a toy and then
leaving him when Darren needed him the most. I should have seen this
coming, we all should have seen and what is most important, Darren should
have seen it himself but I really thought they could get over Daniel's
insecurities. He was always so shy when showing his feelings to Darren,
ashamed to hold his hand or kiss him only with us in the room and of
course there was this instant fear that someone would find out about them
and destroy their careers.
I will never forget the day that he finally decided that he wouldn't take
any risks anymore and end it, Darren had been crying for hours, me and
the rest of the band trying everything to cheer him up and not hang
Daniel on the highest tree.
Darren had of course a few lovers since then, but they were even worse.
Every one of them wanted nothing more than to use Darren, to mark him as
theirs, to be able to say 'I slept with Hayes'. None of them ever asked
is that what he wants, deciding that it's better to go for what they see.
I can say from my own experience that watching Darren when you don't know
him can be very deceiving. People often mistake his scenic image with the
real Darren, that he acts and is nothing more than a slut and a number
one diva that just begs for it, that hurting him is just giving him what
he deserves. Well, I don't think like that, he deserves much more than
being a victim of his own angelic beauty and his trust in others.
I want to scream my affection at the top of my lungs, hug and kiss him,
convince him that I'm the one for him, not Daniel, not others, me. I want
him to open up, tell me where it hurts, show me all his scars so I could
kiss them one by one and make them dissapear, fix every damage made by
them. I want to be the one responsible for his happiness.
I look down at him, a lump forming in my throat when I realise it's a
matter of minutes before he opens his eyes and again disappears from my
life. I can't let this happen again. Every time he leaves, it feels like
a part of my soul is torn away from me. I know, I promised myself that I
won't tell him a thing, not until he is ready but what if he never is
ready? That my silence is a proof for him that he doesn't deserve someone
to love? That he is and always will be a tragic, fallen angel, exiled
from Heaven for sins I can't imagine?
"Darren." I call his name softly, bracing myself, still trying to figure
out what the hell I am doing but as he turns around to look at me
questioningly, I can just smile in response. Those eyes... I won't let
them be sad any longer, even if I have to walk a mile through the broken
glass, barefoot.
"I have something important to tell you." I whisper after few seconds of
hesitation.
I don't care about Daniel anymore, the whole world can go and kiss its
arse goodbye, I have everything I ever wanted here and I won't let it be
destroyed. Not now, not ever.

Happiness
You're what happens when models marry,
You're the kind of angel they produce.
Pale creature more sad than savage,
Heaven knows you're fireproof.
In an apartment with a dirty mirror,
You can still kiss you face goodbye.
I want you,
I need you,
I want your skin upon my skin.
I want to,
Possess you,
I want to know where the hell you've been.
You're what happens when models marry,
You're the sort of victim they let loose.
Sitting on your own it's tragic,
That no one knows the awful truth.
Your scheming little junkie friends all tell you,
That sort of beauty is a crime.
I want you,
I need you,
I want you confused and unable to stop.
I want to,
Possess you,
I want to know what the hell you want.
I want you,
I need you,
I want your happiness and scars.
I want to,
Oppress you,
I want to know who the fuck you think you are.
