Apart

Apart

With the rustling of the leaves, 

And the heavy summer winds flowing, 

In the middle of the night, 

Throwing every particle of dust with disdain. 

With us engulfed in fury, 
Trying to fight one another, 
With you trying to show off your villainous brilliance, 
While I sit across you just to send you away. 

You look me with your loony eyes, 
Waiting for me to make the first move, 
Only to make me suffer my first defeat, 
Forcing me to find a way out to bring you down. 

Who knew that the game of cat and mouse, 
Can bring us close and understand each other, 
The life we live had just took a different turn, 
And as I trade a life for your freedom. 

The two black holes now have collided, 
With you saving my life by killing the only witness that could send me away, 
Just out of awe and the need for my acknowledgement, 
Clearing my name and taking the fall for me. 

What is this between us? 
This weird thing that we have, 
This misguided love is enough, 
To make us fall into a vortex. 

All we do is just consume souls, 
And crush it beyond existence, 
But what is it about us, 
That we are the one standing alone. 

With us armed, 
Standing at the edge of the cliff and the guns facing the other, 
Only a small window to shoot and poof the one is gone forever,
But who knew that it would be me hanging on, 
Just to the very thing that brought me here.

Those lifeless eyes that now see me bleed away into a different world, 
See us metamorphosing into an aggravated phenomenon, 
Trying to tear everything apart, 
Just to realise that it is the evil that makes us different. 
Like the enigma I stood and you being the paradox,
This is what makes us apart.
