Inspired by [profile] lapseofself, a random little drabble. Darkish.

Sing little grasshopper, sing!

...oh, you don't want to sing?

What a shame!

And after I was so nice as to take you in.

How ungrateful of you really. I ought to punish you for that!

...but I won't if you sing for me.

Sing me a love song, of moonlit night and dew-drenched roses. Sing me a love song, of a tragic romance and lovers whose stars became super novas. Sing me a love song, and sing sweetly, so that the birds themselves may die of envy while the stars weep to hear your voice.

Sing. That's all I ask of you. All I will ever ask of you. I'll release you if you sing for me, fill your hands with gold, spread tales of your fame all o'er the land and your life will be lived as if you were born under a charmed star, instead of a cursed one.

...is that hard to sing for me? Such a simple thing that I ask, no, demand of you. Such a simple, simple thing. Even the youngest child knows a lullaby or two. One as old as you, twenty shifts of the seasons at least, should know several songs, for several occasions. Though what song do you sing for someone who woos you in a desert, who gifts you with blood and gold and immortality? What song will you sing me, my pretty darkling, my pretty darling?

You won't sing for me still?

I'm not surprised.

A caged bird never sings. It merely screams.

You only read angsty-sad stuff because you're my friend? *feels vaguely insulted*

And the grasshopper is how I refer to [livejournal.com profile] kimetara, and darkling made me think of Devlin as well.

XD Thanks for the feedback!

LoL Nooo... Usually I don't always read angsty-sad stuff... b/c it makes me... well.. sad ^^; But if you write something, I wanna read b/c I like the way you write and the things that you write- regardless of what *type* of writing it is ^^

Ahhh xD I see xD

You're welcome ^^'

XD, okay, fine, that's better then. ^_^ But whee, now I'm wondering what I could write that you wouldn't be able to make yourself read. ^_^

[identity profile] xinda.livejournal.com 2004-10-24 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
^^ Heeeey... now don't do that >.> Ummm... probably not. I'd still eventually read it, even if it was something that I *know* I shouldn't. now... how I react after reading it... can't always be predicted ^^; *too emotional for her own good*

[identity profile] fickle-goddess.livejournal.com 2004-10-24 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
*hugs* Don't worry. I'll behave and not write anything designed to upset you. *is being a good little Fickle, yes she is*

[identity profile] xinda.livejournal.com 2004-10-24 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)

[identity profile] xinda.livejournal.com 2004-10-25 01:38 pm (UTC)(link)

And believe it, for your hikari-toy does not lie! ^_^

[identity profile] fickle-goddess.livejournal.com 2004-10-25 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)

[identity profile] xinda.livejournal.com 2004-10-25 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
LoL! She doesn't lie xDD >.> call it both a good thing and a bad thing *sulks* >.> Hence why I try not to say certain things or bring up things that I don't wanna answer 9.9; xD *ahem* Yaaay ^_^ I am forgiven for... being thought... that I was... making fun of Master Yami-sama ^_^

YAAAAAAAY ... wait... ... hmmm.. it can't be that easy, can it? :P

*grabs the halo and cuts her hand open on the barbed wire*

Ow...

XD, definitely not my dahlin' hikari-toy :P

[identity profile] xinda.livejournal.com 2004-10-25 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Heey!!! That... ... wasn't very expensive... and that's why you don't grab on it *holds out hands* see? *has bandages over fingers*

>.> *must keep eye out for... um.... something*

[identity profile] fickle-goddess.livejournal.com 2004-10-26 09:01 am (UTC)(link)
Barbed wire halo... *laughs at hands*

Hopeless woman, how can you hurt yourself with your own halo?

[identity profile] xinda.livejournal.com 2004-10-26 02:12 pm (UTC)(link)
*nods* Yeah... it makes the blood on it more entertaining...

Um... well... I wanted to see how sharp it was... then it kept getting stuck in my hair so I had to make sure to get it at the right place so that it wouldn't... then a few times I forgot about it... a few times I did it on purpose *sweatdrop* But... um... some of these are to protect my fingers from being injured...

[identity profile] fickle-goddess.livejournal.com 2004-10-26 03:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh, I should have written out the barbed wire halo poem in calligraphy for you and sent that.

...*blinks* Now why would anyone hurt themselves with their own halo on purpose? You are a strange little angel my dear.

[identity profile] xinda.livejournal.com 2004-10-26 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
*blinku* ^^;; Yeah... *remembers*

Ummmmm.... it ... causes... blood? And... makes the halo... bloody... bloodier? o.o;
