Serena
I'd slept for most of the flight.
Rion was there to meet me, like he promised.
He'd hugged me, told me it would be fine, that I'd be fine.
**************************************************
I took on the job of his personal assisstant, and I made a point to remember everything, from the way he liked his coffee to the way his desk needed re-organizing every few days.
I was a VERY dedicated assisstant.
He helped me with everything; he stood behind me silently as I endured my first morning sickness, and when I went into labour, which was five hours ago he dropped everything to be there for me.
I am now struggling with the most painful thing I have ever endured.
I'd gone into labour two weeks premature. I'd been rendered unable to move, gripping the marble countertop of Rion's spotless modern kitchen. I'd sunk to the ground, biting back screams. No one would hear me, and the phone was too far to reach. I'd endured this agony for five hours, so by the time Rion came home, I was too far into it for anyone to be able to help me with any form of painkiller.
It was going "all natural, and it can't be helped", so the doctors had said. Sounds way more attractive than it really is.
I only screamed once.

The Writer Behind the Words
I believe I can fly
Take to the sky
Be all that I’m going to be
See all that I’m going to see
You can’t hold me back
With me, there’s nothing to lack
So take a seat
Don’t miss a beat
And watch us fly
Right on by
In a jet or a plane
There’s no way that we’re sane
So sit on back
Try not to hack
Enjoy the view
Don’t miss your Que
To start on flying
Without dying
‘Cause we believe we can fly
As we take to the sky
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
many times i think we feel the weight of the world is on our shoulders, but i know that there are times when you can feel as light as a feather and as though you can fly and take on the whole world. i wrote this in one of those moods and hope you liked it.

The Man With No Eyes Collection (6): Dream
A crystallized life, on the bright TV screen,
But I’ve finally broken away from the dream,
And into the warm embrace of your esteem.
The stage that I left disappears from my mind,
Like suddenly being engulfed by sunshine,
I am truly alive, for the very first time,
All at once, let me sing, let me cry!
‘Til it bursts,
From my lungs, like a child,
Let me smile ‘til it hurts!
Let the blue of the morning
Strike my tearful eyes,
I still don’t know how,
I still don’t know why,
(I still fear this life may yet be a lie,)
But even if this world is the true dream, I want to play out this beautiful scene.
Here it is, the last in the Man With No Eyes Collection! I wanted to complete this on a pleasant note, give the guy some mercy.

The Man With No Eyes Collection (2): User
It works fast like a drug, when it’s shot through my veins,
And it lights up my fire, when it reaches my brains,
Irresistible tickle, in the depths of my chest,
I dissolve into ashes, and forget all the rest.
If you make my heart dance, I will dance in your hand,
Give me my one desire, I’ll be at your command,
Constant rushes of sugar, swirling colors and light,
There’ll be no troubled sleep, for this body tonight.
This one is short and sweet, sung from the perspective of someone who's willingly being taken advantage of, as long as he gets what he wants. Hence the double meaning of the title "User," which could refer to to an addict, or someone literally "using" another person for their own gain.
