Duality

Let me destroy you utterly

and I'll kiss you sweetly

I want to rip the light from your eyes

and then grant you the brightest of my lamps

Please allow me to rend the heart from my chest

just so I may feel the healing touch of anyone

I wish to charge against the largest army of scoundrels

So that I can find peace within my breast

Let me drink poison

So I may be cured

I will run a mile

So I may sleep

Can I dance until the dead are roused

In the hopes that I may sit with the skeletons?

What is a day

Without a night?

What is your love

without another's hate?

What is hope

without this constant despair?

May my life be called such a thing

if I do not have to fight death at every corner?

I plague my soul with questions of pain

So my mind may fly free with answers of anesthetic bliss.
