‘’She’s an angel,’’ he tells me, grinning from ear to ear, and I smile and nod back, but he’s clearly delirious.  Her halo and wings must be reserved for his eyes, because from what I’ve seen, she can’t stop telling lies.

It’s too late for him now, he’s under her spell, wrapped in her wings and blinded by her halo.  Any kiss he got from the angel should be savoured, for that angel is not coming back.  She’s putting out her true colours, but he’s still smitten, and he can’t help it.

Heaven may have sent him an angel, but it’s taken her away from him just as quickly, and it’s driving him insane.

She’s got a criminal mind and combined with her power over him, she’s dangerous.  She gets him to do whatever she wants, and he can’t say no.  He’s handcuffed to her power with a gun hanging over his head, her finger on the trigger and the bullet heading straight for him if he refuses her.

She’s had him steal and kidnap, and it’s only a matter of time before she’ll have him doing things more drastic.

He’s getting desperate; he needs to wake up, for this to be a dream.  He’s still claiming that she’s an angel, but he hasn’t seen it for a while.  He’s tied up to the hope that he’ll see it soon, and only she can grant him his wish.

He knows what she’s doing to him, how strong her power over him is but still he can’t refuse her.  He knows that he’ll end up doing something terrible and that if he’s caught he’ll have no excuse.  She made me do it.  Well that would be a lie.  She hasn’t actually made him do anything, he’s done it all at his own free will, put her ideas into motion in the hope of seeing the angel in her.

He’s distraught at what he’s doing, and he collapses in front of me with tears streaming down his face and hands shaking as he tries to wipe them away.

‘’Kill me now...’’ he mumbles, his voice wavering, and he repeats it again and again as if the wanting will make it true.

‘’Kill me now, kill me now, kill me now...’’ and with each word I know that more than anything he wants to seize the gun hanging over his head and end this himself, but he has no chance of removing it from her strong grasp.
He’s trying to end it himself, reckless driving and car accidents, drinking, drugs, anything.  Nothing ends it, his life that’s spiralling out of control.

He’s getting more desperate, his pleas turn frantic, but nothing helps him.  She seems to be the only one that can pull the trigger, the only one that can end his suffering.

Maybe she is an angel after all.
For :iconsweeperrosalie:, Emily. This is for our art trade, and she drew this very, very awesome piece [link] because she's very, very awesome :D So go look at it and be dazzled by how awesome it is.

Anyway, for our art trade we used the song Under the Gun by The Killers (Brandon the Random, Dave the Saviour, Mark the Laugh and Ronnie the Unstoppable ;)) and Emily drew how we saw it, and I wrote it.

We should do more of these Emily, they're so fun! :D
