Chapter 4.

True Colours…

---

I hate it when he does this, I think to myself as I shut the door behind me. I keep hoping that the real Danny is in there somewhere, the one that I fell in love with in high school before that fucker Don Lothario got involved. Yet each passing year, that boy fades away a little bit further and the man that replaces him has become a monster.

I look at myself in the mirror, am I not pretty enough for him? I growl in frustration and storm out of my room and flop down onto the couch, I fucking hate it when I get like this, of course, I’m pretty enough! I catch him stealing glances at me when he thinks he’s being subtle, he’s just too fucken stupid to realise it.

I’d hoped that his Grandpa’s passing would flip a switch in his idiot-brain and he’d figure out that I was still in love with him, either the on switch to his head-brain or the off switch to his dick-brain, either one would’ve worked. Totally fucked up and selfish of me, I know, but hey, I’m tired of his shit.

I stand up and walk over to my piano. Why do I keep doing this to myself? I ask myself as I sit down and start playing the piano.

Because I love him. But does he love me? I don’t know if he’s capable of loving anyone. Maybe there is still hope for him, for me yet, because hope is all I have left…

You with the sad eyes
Don’t be discouraged
Oh I realise
It’s hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small

But I see your true colours
Shining through
I see your true colours
And that’s why I love you
So don’t be afraid to let them show
Your true colours
True colours are beautiful
Like a rainbow

Show me a smile then
Don’t be unhappy, can’t remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you’ve taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I’ll be there

And I’ll see your true colours
Shining through
I see your true colours
And that’s why I love you
So don’t be afraid to let them show
Your true colours
True colours are beautiful
Like a rainbow

If this world makes you crazy

And you’ve taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I’ll be there

And I’ll see your true colours
Shining through
I see your true colours
And that’s why I love you
So don’t be afraid to let them show

Your true colours
True colors
True colors
Shining through

 I see your true colours
And that’s why I love you
So don’t be afraid to let them show
Your true colours
True colours are beautiful
Like a rainbow
