dessperation

she stood at the edge of the world eyes wide open. Demon clasping one hand human clasping the other. The tormented screams of the human race ebbing into the whispers of time, and as for time itself he retreats his perverted hand away from her throat and recedes into the dark still twisting his demented grin reminding her this blissful peace is a temporary reward for her suffering. All three entities close their red stained eyes soaking in the peaceful serenity, remembering the time when child still reigned gleefully and showered their existence with innocence and an naive optimism before she too slipped into the darkness never to return. slowly demon opened her eyes, smiles and re-emerged into her letting her absorb her holey until once again they are one "sleep dark one hang up your armor, lay away your wrath rest your weary wings, you have fought well", Human opens her eyes and sees the world needing her "someone has found us" she says "someone hears us" she finally opens her eyes finding human playfully peering at her, "it is my turn " human says, "don't be scared we are strong, we are ready," she thinks of her past a angry dark wounded animal crippled with fear and regret, "leave the past there" human says with urgency, "i am ready it is my time, someone sees us someone hears us, trust me this is where i belong, let us be human even if for a moment" she cautiously agrees and hand in hand they walk towards humanity ready to let human reign and demon rest.
how long will this last? she asks herself, what monstrous scars will come of this?, but human looks determined i will trust her as i trusted demon. Vulnerable and mortal they become.
