| TWINSLAYER'S TALE | ||||||||
| Two brothers alike in power One soul long before lost The other barely hanging on A dead man's last request Brings both to a child's side One's a savior A protecting light The other a monster An intruding night A child's spirit torn in two Her mentality coming unglued Innocence fading, finally lost But is love to be the cost? Too many dreams forced Too many screams heard A child's hand, pale and small Covered with the blood of all With eyes as empty As the soul she's just seen She looks to the future It's not beyond her keen Tears slip pass boundaries held More within her eyes swell Gifts given cannot be undo No matter how she'd wish them to She sees time With eyes by it unblinded She holds her secerts very close Hiding from those she cares most She screams at her mercy "How can you be so weak!" But it only turns the other cheek She yearns for something She knows doesn't exist For if it did She'd be a Innocent still Or powerless as is her will Inside she sobs unendingly As she curses all she was born to be And all she was trained to do "Forget me!" she shouts Knowing no one will hear or agree She's a lengend It's what she was born to be She curls into a fetal ball Hoping to forget it all Yearning to undo sins Long ago done Prana of Twins Her chosen prey She shudders at the cold of her soul She's no longer the child And it was never just a dream. |
