Opportunity (Oswald x Reader)

"Oh, uh, yes. My name is Y/N. I wanted to seize the opportunity when I saw it in the papers. I'm hoping that you might give me this chance."

"Of course! We are in the land of opportunity aren't we?" His arms rose along with his smile.

You chuckled at this and responded "Yes, yes it is." He walked leading you to the front of the stage. He sat down on one of the chairs that were near by. You stood at the side starring at him.

"So, what will you be performing for us today to ensure a spot in this club?"

"Well I was hoping to do the cliched talent, that you probably already seen a thousand times during your hunt." You took off the guitar case that was strapped securely on you. "Just play and sing for you is all."

Oswald gestured to the stage. "You have the floor my dear." Butterflies flew in your stomach. This rarely ever happens but this is a job interview, in a way. A high stool and a microphone were provided. On the way to the stool you were trying to think up a song to sing, Of course, perform for this guy but have no song in mind to sing. Nice way to rush into things Y/N. As soon as you sat down you already thought up a song to play. You just hoped that he would like this song, he looks like he would be into this type of music.

You took a breath, closed your eyes, and eased yourself to the situation you were in. You placed your fingers on the notes and began to strum.

I'm a mess
That's the best way to describe it
Having no time to myself is the only way I can fight it
When I'm alone it's like I'm staring into a mirror
Don't know the person inside it and that's never been any clearer

I miss your family and I miss all our friends
If you had it to do over would you do it over again,
Cause I would, this meant something more to me
There's a hole in my heart where you used to be

I still wish you the best of luck, baby
And don't go thinking this was a waste of time
I couldn't forget you if I tried

You killed what was left of the good in me
I'm tired so let me be broken
Look down at the mess that's in front of me
No other words need be spoken
And I've got nobody else to blame though I tried
Kept all of our past mistakes held inside
I'll live with regret for my whole life

I confess that I brought this all on myself
Condemned to suffer alone, like there's nobody else
When you're gone, it's like a whole part of me's missing
So I'll keep living the lie and just hope that you're listening

I tried to make us a life here
But our foundation was built on sand
No time to run until the damage was done
And I've never had the upper hand

I still wish you the best of luck, baby
And don't go thinking this was a waste of time
I couldn't forget you if I tried

You killed what was left of the good in me
I'm tired so let me be broken
Look down at the mess that's in front of me
No other words need be spoken
And I've got nobody else to blame though I tried
Kept all of our past mistakes held inside
I'll live with regret for my whole life

All the things you love are all the things I hate
How did we get here in the first place?

I play it cool but it's hard to be (All my trust)
Is slowly burning inside of me (Over what)
There can't be anymore progress, I know our fate
The only thing that can heal this is time and space
