✱ @gasterblasters ⊱ WHAT DOES CARE MEAN TO YOU? DOES IT COME GENTLE OR PASSIONATE?
there it is / in the shadow of the walls ( in the corners of the room / does it rise / that pitch black darkness ). you give it a stare back / looking in as if there was something there. something just beyond it / if there was , what would you see ? you don’t know / you’re not sure if you even want to know.
but he knows / doesn’t he ?
though you’ve lost the fear in your eyes when you see him rise from his grave / the uncomfortableness settles in all the same ( & you start to feel an ache in your heart once he makes his way to you / his presence is / overwhelming ). yet you do not deny his presence / the loneliness that clings to your heart yearns & you’ve no heart to tell it no. so like always / you endure it.
his voice echoes & it clatters with each syllable / garbled noise yet amidst the chaos you attune yourself with him ( you hear his query all the same like before ). this time he seeks about compassion / yet what of you to know about that ? you suppose you’ve read those old tomes / you’ve practiced your lines , but what say your heart ? you do not know of care , do you ? / the world had never taught you care , did it ?
❝ care… ? ❞ you echo back / you wonder if the void was listening just like he was now ( if you taught the void to care / would it finally look back at you more kindly ? / would the darkness seem less intimidating ? ). ❝ it’s… a rather funny thing , isn’t it ? care. showing someone just an inkling of care , it in turns , blossoms a whole garden. one kindness breeds another & another , on & on. ❞ yet you’re dodging the question , aren’t you / the man does not want what care is ( he wants to know what it means to you ).
❝ it’s… a dream. ❞ your voice is quiet / a whisper more than usual. you were not one to think about your dreams / the things you want. this story was never really about you , was it ? / it was about the two heroes you were destined to meet ( you were just there to serve the lightners / to aid them on their journey as foretold in the prophecy ). yet the man stares at you / patiently.
❝ it’s a dream. for a peaceful tale , for a happy end. care comes in many ways both gentle & passionate. like a joke to lift someone up , a hug when someone’s feeling down , or a cake made with love. all of these things are like… a dream , a wish. a wish to solve things peacefully , a wish to treat every new friend with love & care. ❞
you pause / taking a moment to look away from your visitor.
❝ well… that’s just what i think it means anyways. ❞
