Because I know better.

Dark mist pools around what never could have been. A flash of light and I am off to nowhere. Teleporting is not as painless as it sounds. I am nothing but a conglomeration of subatomic particles and electric stimuli. Shooting from my fingertips like stars, concepts of my face begin to alternate. Undergo the alterations and smile pretty. Close up, we all look the same. You cannot breathe without me. Inside your lungs and through your veins, I rush through your heart in a moment of vulnerable intimacy, and we will never be the same. Soft now, like the quiet breeze that touched you when you closed your eyes. I see through the glass pane of your one man show. My skin is tough and scaly, so I know you could name me at a glance. Your excuses amount to less than your forgiveness. Hatred flowing from our eyes and clashing, leaves me to reminisce about our tender firsts. When will you call me back to say what you could never, for pride's sake? Another speck of sparkling victory for your crown. In the end your sins will find you out. Slither away, but the end is always near. Inevitably we meet and time stands still, crystals of frozen breath find themselves lost between us. I know just how you feel.

Unwritten.

When will the past make room for the future, and when will I smile in the face of you? This hate just keeps us spinning. I've given you control, but now we're out of time, and all I need is the embrace of a hundred dreams. They say the truth could set us free, but you are blind, and you refuse to see that I'm still here, and I can't leave. The voices tell me every word you dictate to their pen. Etchings in the fabric of this living room furniture, and I relive every moment. Your eyes are staring back at me, and I feel the pain. A searing yesterday chains me to a wall of loathing. My fingertips are raw and bleeding from clawing at a door called May. Her eyes are sweet and dripping boiling sugar down her cheeks. Sour acid teases the back of my tongue in response to your existence, but still, I'd drop the dagger for those two words.
