The 3 AM Muse Woke Me Up To Write

Thing 1 and Thing 2

Thing one: You share a part of her

That alone should have been enough.

Enough to want to share a life with her.

To share bedtime stories and heroic tales,

To wish to be the direction tiny hazel eyes 

looked up to as she called you her hero.

But it wasn't enough

Thing one might share a part of her.

It signed the certificate like a casting call

taking the role without an audition, planning for improv.

little did it know it forgot to read it's character description. 

Behind the scenes the Hero's part was played by the villain.

Misread instructions didn't stop Thing one.

starting the role out with lessons and lectures

The original line in the script was well said

" That dress is WAY too short, go change."

It didn't realize the hazel eyes saw right through the cliche line. 

Her eyes knew about it's tragic character flaws.

Thing one watched naked figures destroy love

How dare thing one pull the modesty line on her.

Hazel eyes should never have to wonder the words

"Did thing one ever think of me like the girls in videos?"

Thing one's mistakes couldn't hide behind a curtain forever.

The heroine kicked it off the stage when she found the truth

but thing one didn't leave before running off with the rest of the production money.

Ass.

The new production became a low budget project.

But without thing one, it was still a fairytale anyway.

(after all, the heroine was the real hero in the story)

pigments in her hazel eyes might have been broken

and sometimes the sharp pieces hurt her eyes and brought tears.

But that didn't stop her from wishing for the cliche ending,

To have a fairytale wedding that ended with a Father Daughter dance.

And with that wish upon a star, 

God came down and granted her wish

Thing Two.

Her hazel eyes met thing two with awe and wonder.

He appeared in her life and quickly into her heart

Thing Two's character description was crossed out was highlighted dad.

The story continued for two years as she grew up.

though almost grown, thing two was a great story teller.

He was taller than her and her hazel eyes looked up at him

as he taught her things of unconditional love and heroic deeds.

He fixed the pigments in her eyes and she didn't cry anymore

scenes rushed by at a fast pace in a happy montage...

 She bookmarked her favorite scenes in the script of her memory.

Scene 1

She liked going shopping with him  to the mall.

he was patient as she tried on armfuls of clothes.
He never told her that her outfits revealed too much skin
but she would have listened to him if he did.

Scene 2

he met the first prince she said the words "I Love You" to

He was protective, but his heart was soft and welcoming

He knew the prince was a good fit for his new daughter.

********

The fairytale seemed to come with a happy ending

But little did she know fate likes to twist the final scene

and fog set in with the fights that echoed through the walls.

The final battle was tragic and well fought, 

and ended with stab wounds in the back of each of us

at the realization of lies told by the once known dad. 
 the heroine wished to stop the bleeding with love

but there was too much blood loss to revive broken hearts.

 the glass pigments were broken again in hazel eyes

this time it shattered blue eyes at the same time.

making each pair a darker shade shadowed with mistrust. 

Thing Two continued popping pills to hide the guilt it felt

It's character description came to light with truth with two words

Addict.

Liar.

The scene ended with thing two's packed bags and goodbyes.

but not before it asked for what was left of the production money

A new word was added to it's character description.

Ass.

Thing one and Thing two were tragic characters

potential to be heroes..but failed and became villains

villains over Addiction.

These hazel eyes will be lucky if they trust again

To Thing 3 wherever you are,

each of the remaining characters eyes wont be so naive this time.

Be careful of what you do to our script.
