you begged me to haunt you and so I shall until you join me at long last to travel the misty moors together again in our cold, silvery loneliness I come to your window not to torment you but with open arms welcoming you home but you won't come to me because you live so fiercely even though you hate your life and all who inhabit it you mourn for me bitterly a broken shell each day a new hell but you breathe out of spite you always won our fights because I was spoiled and you had suffered you were a wound I gladly tended to I befriended you not out of pity but because I recognized you as my destined twin I let you win because I was married to you from the moment we met in spirit though never in flesh we missed our chance I travel the moors an aching vapor knowing we never knew each other fully and completely we never had sweaty exhaustion in each other's arms I never got to feel you fill me up as your black eyes burned into the center of me your hands clenching mine as pain bled into ecstasy oh, the lost hours of teeth gnashing and lip biting and hair tearing that could have so easily been found hours finding religion in rolling and twisting and riding abiding in a death defying embrace we could have joined mingled and transcended the madness of our isolated lives so I come to you as a child incomplete and pleading reminding you of what we had and what could be again if only you would let me do the leading for once and follow me gladly all the way home. |
