Two in one

by Oracle   Jun 23, 2007


I held my breath for what seemed to be an eternity
the gruesome sight i saw frightened me more than i could have ever thought would be possible.
your face was tear-stricken with pure blood acting as your hidden tears.
why?
how?
nothing moved, not even time as we gazed into the other's eyes
rage was building up from my inner fires
soon i lost it!
i came at you with full force...
i came up so close that i could feel your breath on my face...
nothing...
how could i harm you?
you had only acted in self-defense, right?
or was there something even more?
that answer fleets your mind and plunges into the shallow waters of your frozen winter heart.
my breath is caught up in my raspy throat...
i can't bear it any longer...
i spill my tears out in front of you.
...weakness to you...
there is much to be explained,
but the time we have isn't enough.
you realize it as well.
take that dagger and place it where it should rightfully be!
you do...
now in cold oblivion, we can finally come to terms.
you and i are the same...
you and i shared the same vessel...
we are both in death's grip...
i am as insane as you are...
i am you, and you are not me.
