Knock knock!
“Please please open up…”
Cold whisper adorned by the fog.
“Oh, Shadow no…”
Helpless fists of despair.
“Shit!”
A nosedive to hell, bruised knees of a lover.
“Don’t take him, take me instead… Please, take me!”
Ringing in soft ears, they are now facing down.
Click.
“I…”
Bloodshot eyes.
Stained fur.
Pupils like rope, straight and sharp.
Eyes that can’t meet somehow.
“Baby…”
Would you rather die lonely?
Crimson from lashes to tail,
Tears clogging the way like a veil.
Doomed lover, his knees kiss the ground,
As he reaches,
The palm of a burning hound.
“You can’t come with me.”
Are there any reason why,
We must wait the next season,
To see
Which of us is the chosen,
For this unholy mission.
“Take me, I serve no purpose without your scent choking me.”
Uncertainty,
Limbo.
Without a path, where would you go?
For the broken soul laying under the sky,
Is there a way out?
“You are wasting your breath, lover.”
Can’t you see, we can’t even count on one and other?
To keep writing this story,
Don’t we need a new glory?
To keep this love alive,
Don’t we need a new archive?
“Why, my light, why?”
If the light shined eternally,
Why we did our best to protect it madly?
If there is no home for trust in you,
Why are we trying, really?
As much as it sounds bizarre,
I hear them coming for me, from afar.
“Go home.”
“You are my home!”
Long silence feeling like death already,
It is dancing on my nose,
The taste of eternity.
What is the point,
If there are no one to see,
That not the only thing decaying is my body.
Red cage that beats in a cage is so messy,
All the cables tied together helplessly,
Hoping,
Too keep me breathing for awhile.
“Until we meet again.”
What is it?
The immortal fear in your eyes is about to outlive me.
Do me a favor, help me find a spot.
Far to you, not so close to me.
“No.”
If there is something that can outlive us,
It must be our love.
If there is one cure for you,
Then let it be me.
“Take my hand.”
Hold me as you feed on me.
Because I know,
I will remain as your biggest regret,
On ground, on high or low.
You will never forget my face and neither will I.
It is not that hard to see,
How imperfectly perfect we love,
And how much more love, we want to be.
“Let me heal or die with you.”
Because love is such a gamble to play.
Where tomorrow is more regretful than yesterday.
We both win,
Or we quit.
There are no losers in this game of love.
