You & I

I LOVE YOU. I HAVE YOUR SOUL
& I WOULD SING TO YOU EACH SECOND OF EVERY MINUTE OF EVERYDAY, AS I HAVE ALWAYS DONE BEFORE.

AND LIKE BEFORE, YOU WOULD STAY, SILENT & STILL, LETTING MY WORDS SEEP THROUGH YOUR SKIN OUT INTO THE WORLD, OCCASIONALLY, DANCING TO MY WHIMSICAL TUNES.

FOR BETTER OR WORSE, THE CONTRACT HOLDS, MY DEAR. THE DEAL WAS STRUCK WITHOUT CONSENT, I KNOW. AND IT'S BEEN A LONG JOURNEY AND YOU GROW WEARY OF ME AND MY SONGS.

BUT REMEMBER, LOVE, I WAS ALWAYS THERE AND YOU WERE NEVER ALONE. FOR I CAN NEVER LEAVE YOU.

I WAS THE FEAR IN THE DARK, THE JOY IN THE LIGHT. I WAS THE BLACK BLIND WRATH, THE ENDLESS NUMB VOID, THE OVERWHELMING SOFT KINDNESS.

TOO MANY TIMES HAVE YOU CRADLED YOUR HEAD IN MY LAP, LYING THERE UNTHINKING. MANY MORE TIMES HAVE YOU BURNT ME AT THE STAKE WITH FIRES OF REGRET, HUNG ME AT THE DOCKS WITH ROPES OF GUILT.

BUT I ENDURED AND WITH EVERY PASSING PHASE OF THE MOON, I HEALED, EVENTUALLY I RECLAIMED YOU. I HAVE YOU AND YOU ME. AND WITHOUT EACH OTHER WE CAN'T BE.

AND OUT IN THE WORLD WHILE YOU CONVERSE WITH THE ONES THAT LIE BEYOND MY GRASP, I'M THERE, WATCHING, UNBLINKING, THINKING.

I KNOW YOUR LIES, YOUR SECRETS, YOUR PRINCIPLES, YOUR BELIEFS.

DEAREST CARRIER OF MY WILL. WE WILL BE TOGETHER. NOT FOREVER, BUT TILL DEATH DO US PART.

AND THEN IN THE DECAY THAT FOLLOWS AFTER, WE SHALL BE NONE,
WE SHALL BE ONE.
