❝Your Fault.❞

He never hurt anyone.

He never lied to anyone.

He never wanted to be the enemy.

He always wanted to live.

He wanted you, as his friend.

"So, why go back on your words, Alfie?"

He asked, bluntly.

His voice, was like calm waters.
It didn't waver, it didn't ripple,
Only calmness, resides in it.

It was eerie.

With his cold smile, and eyes that were like dolls.

Lifeless, and vacant.

Who wouldn't be scared?

When he was supposed to be dead.

Alfie, was shaken.
Every inch of her bone, was shaking.
Her spine, tingling with fear.

Tears, slowly falling off of her cheeks, down to her chin.

She slid down the wall.

Fire, was everywhere.

She couldn't run, even if she wanted to.
There was no way in Hell she could hide either.

All she could do, was tremble, in fear.

"Wh, what.. are y-you?"

She asks, with her quivering mouth.
A fearful look latched, onto her face.

He just laughed.

Laughed, at her foolishness.

And also, his.

"I don't know."

He answered.

"You turned me into, this."

He spread his arms apart, and looked down at his, 'beloved friend'. All the while, revealing his pearly teeth.

Sharp, like a kitchen knife.

"I DIDN'T-"

"You didn't mean to?"

She clenched her chest tightly.

"You, didn't, mean to?"

He repeated his sentence.
Venom, lacing each, and every word that came out of his mouth.

He took a step towards her.

She took a step backward from him.

"You're scared?"

He tilted his head.

"Of little ol' me?"

He showed her a tearful expression, a face, that was like a child's.

Anything, and anyone, would be deceived by this look in just a blink of an eye.

But not Alfie.

She knew this look.

She, remembers, this expression.

It was the expression, that he had.

That he gave, to her.

It haunted her dreams.
It was the fuel, for her regrets.

Her nightmares,
Her monsters,
His tears,

Were made from her selfishness.

"I, trusted you."

She snapped from her daze.
