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.
