so i'll stop and i'll watch you, for i love, i love, and then be on my way

So, I wrote this for a mix for littledust and brilligspoons and ended up cutting it because it was the only ficlet from Erik's POV. (Yes, I did say "mix" the first time and "ficlet" the second time. I felt compelled to write for each of the songs. I have a sickness.) Figured I'd throw it up here rather than toss it, because someone might get some joy out of it.

What are all these feelings you are making me feel. Ouch, oh god, that hurts. That really physically hurts. Erik, you poor idiot. T_____T

HE'S JUST BEING HONEST WITH HIMSELF. He's kind of a debbie downer, tbh.

He's just trying to be ~*realistic*~ in his own fucked up way. ♥

Oh Erik! *cries a little*

Is it weird that this reads as something vaguely religious--I can see someone (any Jew who has lost faith) finding that they still can't have true happiness and that they must repent for everything that they have.

*goes back to crying*

I wouldn't say it's weird to find it religious. It wasn't my intent, if only because as someone entirely devoid of religion, it's not something that even enters my mind when I'm writing XD But they say to ignore authorial intent and take what you will so... yes :)
