~Angel and Devil, You and I~
I look at you
My eyes are sour and ashen
You look at me
I don't know your irises' color
But the questions shines through
Why?
What did I do to provoke you?
I cannot entirely explain
As we stand on our broken battlefield
Shards litter the ground
A waste
An image implodes in my mind
There you are again
As innocent as me
In your hand, a game controller
In mine, a blanket
I watch you and the others I
Hadn't met prior to tonight
Play the game together
We laugh as one
The image has morphed
It is now a sorrowful mirage
Shimmering into view
We are no longer human
You are a jackal
Green
Of a lovable sort
Your fur is soft and golden
Yet it still is green
Had I walked into a pet shop
I would have adopted you
Had I downloaded a war game
You'd be my dream champion
To put it another way
You are and will always remain
Only flawed when it is strength
No mirrors exist here
I want to think I am
A pretty, gentle calico
But I am a beast
Tarnished and a cruel color
Indescribable
Demons often are
As proved by the way I
Abuse my only power
Blood covers my peripheral
My vision is shielded
I lift a visor I did not know
Existed and discover
That where I thought I was drilling
Your platform
To build up another
I was drilling you
Now the image is after I kicked
The hornet's nest
We are still not ourselves
We are both burned and bruised
I can't tell who is more
But shame tugs that I may
Have hurt you so much
That you have been wounded more
We refuse to speak
Guilt nearly suffocates me
Now we are here
Back in the beginning
Of the end
The image is gone
The guilt remains
Your silent question also lingers
Why?
I close my eyes
How will we ever talk as humans
Again?
This glass wall is falling
In a few months time
It will reveal our human
Forms again
It will perish
Will I as well?
Will you murder me living
As I did you?
Or will we stand there
Without risking a word?
You are perfect
I wanted to be you
I still do
You'll know what to do
And I'll mess it up
We're trapped in a cycle
I want off
Why, you ask?
Jealousy.
