Hoax

 Page 1417

They started talking about him again.

The late colleague.

I stood up and listened to them.

Recounting their experiences.

When they first heard the news.

How they reacted.

The disbelief they had.

The funeral they attended.

One of them was already tearing up.

I empathised.

They're still grieving.

And that's totally normal.

Then, they talked about me.

How surprised they were when they first saw me.

About how I was exactly like him.

My looks. My personality. The way I work.

It made sense, because people avoided me on my first day.

I understood now.

I wasn't a hoax. Just somebody.. else.

I just smiled.

Maybe I'm here for a reason.

For them to get by, and cope with their loss.

It felt weird at first.

But I've accepted it by now.

It's beautiful in a way.

And I'm glad.. to be here.

Love, Eran.

Current Song Mood: Taylor Swift - Hoax

My only one
My smoking gun
My eclipsed sun
This has broken me down
My twisted knife
My sleepless night
My winless fight

This has frozen my ground
Stood on the cliffside
Screaming, "Give me a reason"
Your faithless love's the only hoax
I believe in
Don't want no other shade of blue
But you
No other sadness in the world would do

My best laid plan
Your sleight of hand
My barren land
I am ash from your fire

Stood on the cliffside
Screaming "Give me a reason"
Your faithless love's the only hoax
I believe in
Don't want no other shade of blue
But you
No other sadness in the world would do

You know I left a part of me back in New York
You knew the hero died, so what's the movie for
You knew it still hurts underneath my scars
From when they pulled me apart
You knew the password, so I let you in the door
You knew you won, so what's the point of keeping score?
You knew it still hurts underneath my scars
From when they pulled me apart
But what you did was just as dark
Darling, this was just as hard
As when they pulled me apart

My only one
My kingdom come undone
My broken drum
You have beaten my heart

Don't want no other shade of blue
But you
No other sadness in the world would do
