Of Monsters And Men-Little Talks lapidot
Hey! Hey! Hey!
I don't like walking around this old and empty house
So hold my hand, I'll walk with you, my dear
The stairs creak as I sleep, it's keeping me awake
It's the house telling you to close your eyes
And some days I can't even dress myself
It's killing me to see you this way
'Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Hey! Hey! Hey!
There's an old voice in my head that's holding me back
Well tell her that I miss our little talks
Soon it will be over and buried with our past
We used to play outside when we were young
And full of life and full of love.
Some days I don't know if I am wrong or right
Your mind is playing tricks on you, my dear
'Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Hey!
Don't listen to a word I say
Hey!
The screams all sound the same
Hey!
Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Hey!
Hey!
You're gone, gone, gone away
I watched you disappear
All that's left is the ghost of you.
Now we're torn, torn, torn apart,
There's nothing we can do
Just let me go we'll meet again soon
Now wait, wait, wait for me
Please hang around
I'll see you when I fall asleep
Hey!
Don't listen to a word I say
Hey!
The screams all sound the same
Hey!
Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Don't listen to a word I say
Hey!
The screams all sound the same
Hey!
Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
There I was on top of the silo that was a little ways away from the barn. I was grateful for Steven letting us stay at this barn but in the time being you and peridot hardly talked and when you did talk it didn't last very long. It was sad. I wanted to be more connected to peridot and she always seems to have better stuff to do.
I turn my head to the side when I heard someone coming up the ladder of the silo. I assumed it was Steven so I looked back to the horizon waiting for him to come up to the silo but when a familiar voice came from behind me I jumped from the sudden surprise.
"Hey lapis, u okay" peridot said as she sat down next to you carefully trying not to fall.
I chuckled a little before answering "yeah I'm fine I just feel like you and me have grown distant. Ya know." I say making sure I don't stumble over my words" are you okay?" I say looking away from the beautiful sunset to look at peridot who was looking down from the silo thinking.
"Honestly no. I mean being here on earth it a lot to take in I mean every day it a stuggle to keep going without thinking about how today can go wrong without thinking of home world. I mean im stuck here because I called yellow diamond a clod and you lied to save Steven from death. And yet I've never done anything good for the crystal gems and yet they give me a place to stay I don't even deserve it." Peridot as she looks up to me.
"Well were both stuck here and things will get better and everyone deserves what they have because they have done things in the past and it will effect the future.And that's a good thing you have to work with it and no matter what theres good things waiting on the other end." I say feeling lonely. Me and peridot have done a lot together, watch many seasons of TV shows together while I happily listen to her rant about how two characters are perfect for each other. And now it felt that all of that was in the Past gone and drifted away. But it also seemed that peridot only came to me when she needed advice. it seemed that the friendship was gone. And even if peridot still had that small crush on me that she talks about in her data logs. Would I ever be able to accept the way I feel for peridot.
"Thank you lapis. You always know what to say." Peridot says as she gets up to leave. Hurriedly I grab her hand to get her attention before she left.
" I know your new to this friendship thing, but we need to interact more. I'm lonely and I miss you and. I know that you like me or want me. And I accept that and I feel that you only come to me when you need help with a stuggle. And I don't want it that way. I've been missing homeworks to and I could easily leave this world and be a servant or slave back at home world. But if it means leaving you I'm not gonna do that." I say as I stand up and pull peridot into a kiss.
"Did you just kiss me. " Peridot says worriedly.
I chuckle and answer"yes peridot." I say.
"No no no. It was supposed to be different. It was supposed to be perfect and planned. Out and ugh" peridot says out of frustration.
" Well you are perfect" I say as I look into her foliage green eyes.
"But I really want your help" peridot said looking down to the ground.
"Well if it's about homeworld, I would love to help but I have been debating about going back for a while now. I mean you and and me have grown so distant. And the crystal gems haven't visited for a while. And I'm stuck as well peridot. And it's hard for me to help when I'm down too." I say careful of my wording.
"Well I think we need alone time to sort this out then if were not gonna listen to each other's advice well listen to our own. And I'm gonna take an adventure. I'm gonna test these metal powers and learn more and get stronger. And you can come or if you be insecure about yourself stay here. " Peridot shouts with rage anger and guilt in her voice as she trys to climb down the silo. I fly down once peridot reach's the ground. I scoop her up and lift her into the hair.
"If your gonna leave I'm leaving to with you. We are gonna get through this. Together." I say as I kiss her lips making her cheek covered in blush. Things will be fine but i ain't leaving peridot side. Not unless she wants me to. And I know she doesn't.
