You and I...

We grew up together,
you held the candle a light.
I stood prostrated to the darkness we could never find.
You drew on walls,
I took the beating,
never said I'd mind.
You kissed,
I fucked.
We danced intertwined,
until the day she died.
I found retribution,
you a place to hide.
I got the revenge,
you saw your Jeckle to MY HIDE.

You found solace in the things you could do,
I found a prison inside what you'd made.
You found piece in profound words and books,
I dined on ashes and hate.
You receded, and couldn't find our common ground,
it was ONE lie.
Stupid as I was stubborn,
broken as I was insane.
We've been a pair to draw to you and I.

Now there's nothing left to draw,
no pictures or words,
no modern language,
nothing can comprehend,
the way it feels now.
I'm bored of you,
you can't look at what I've become.
The only way out is to separate.
Just one problem,
you and I are one and the same.
One match,
one gallon of gas,
one hunting knife,
and one hundred reasons.
Is it all we need.
Can we find a resting spot in the dance,
a place to take a seat.
Time for rest,
the eyes closed,
the soul solid,
body rigid.
The worms may dine tonight,
but only upon the eyes...
