D: Hello
L: Hi
D: You're Warm
L: You're Cold
D: You look so bright and deathless
L: So seem so dark and lifeless
D: Hello
L: Hi
D: Where do you come from o child of the light?
L: I came from a place that has never seen night.
D: Such a pity that must be to have no moon or stars. There's no darkness to hide all your wounds and scars.
L: Not at all, there is nothing to pity about me. These wounds would only hurt me temporarily.
D: Hello
L: Hi
D: May I ask?
L: Sure.
D: Why do you live?
L: Pardon?
D: I'm sorry. That must have been the wrong question.
L: Then what is it really? I don't want to be lost in confusion.
(Silence)
D: I have never found a solution to this unending death. I have never heard any melody except these requiems taking breath.
I have lost all words and now all I have is silence.
L: Silence?
D: Yes. Silence. Obedience to my oath in taking the throne. A proof of my compliance.
L: What kind of throne is it that we speak?
D: A throne that never deceives, a throne without any tricks.
L: You say that as if everything else does otherwise. Like every moment in this world is full of lies.
D: Am I wrong? Tell me. When was the last time that you saw a man sincere? Do you walk in the streets at night without any fear?
L: Yes I know there are men less generous. But that doesn't mean that all of them are treacherous. You should not see things in a clear black shade. Think of all the wonders life has made.
(Silence)
D: So is it wrong that I am me?
L: No I didn't mean that, please don't flee.
D: You talk of me like I am nothing but remorse. And here you are trying to change me by force.
L: I'm sorry. This is not how I wanted things to happen.
D: So are you now saying that you are mistaken?
L: No.
D: No?
L: I will not waver because that's just who I am.
*Death laughs*
D: Then how exactly are you any different from them?
*Life does not reply*
D: You show the beauty of things to men. Yet this beauty is also where illusion could stem. Like cocaine they sniff all the pleasures you bring. That is why when I come I am felt with a sting. They don't bother to recognize who I am anymore. Unlike those days of plagues where they embraced me before. They are blinded so much with your dazzling light. That I become nothing but a cause for fright.
L: I'm sorry.
D: No. We are way beyond the point of appologies. That's as pathetic as those words only uttered in eulogies.
L: You know that I never intended all this. I never wished to be worshipped like a goddess of bliss.
D: Yet here we are in the rift of our being. I can never join in the banquet you are eating.
L: Death?
D: Life.
L: I am sorry
D: Do not worry.
L: How did we meet? I forgot.
D: Typical.
L: Sorry.
D: No. You are not.
(Silence)
