The Dark of Us

It is me, the one you see.

The one you face, everyday.

Look at the mirror you look at me,

I take control and you just see.

You have a glance at all my actions, you make a guess, you have reactions.

You feel the pain of my interactions.

You want to take control by force of attraction.

You can't. I know, it is despairing,

Fear not or fear indeed,

I will move not, you're at my feet.

I can sense the intensity of your glaring.

I smile at you, you glare at me,

And round and round the wheel will spin.

You curse at me, I sugar you.

There should be one, but we are two.

Crawl and nail at the endless barrier,

The one insane, the truth behind us.

Scream away, no one can hear you.

Speak and speak, only I mute you.

Blame me, yell at me, curse at me, despair.

I still can't figure out out how you live with no air, how you're still forever there.

Is it magic that grants your life a spare?

Why don't you stop, looking at me?

Why do you always follow my lead?

Why is it you suffer still?

If you can't take action by speaking to me.

Why do you stay? Why do you stay?

I slam the door, just go away.

Please just, just stay away.

Why can't I leave? Why do I stay?

I cannot leave, we are still here.

I have control but in great pain,

You smile at me… I only glare.

You gain control because I'm weak.

And round and round we go,

We shift and the time slows,

I am stripped bare of all my soul.

You take control and one round more.

Why am I trapped? Why do you lead?

Why can't you leave and why not me?

How come we've been forever here?

I know you and you know me.

Work together, make amends.

We walk aboard the same old brain.

I'll help you out, I know you're there.

Let's take control, it's only fair.

We are not brothers, we are not lovers.

We are something that none can see.

Some understand but why should we bother?

Let's keep the walk and nithe shall suffer.

We are together, accept the fact.

We fight together, we walk the walk.

They don't see two, they see just one.

Now do you get it? You see at last?

We are just one, we're not apart.

You deal the blows, you make things hard.

I take it slow, I deal with it and do my part.

I am the good, I am the one.

I am the bad, I am the one.

We work together, hand by hand.

I am the light, and now the dark.

We are bound forever, no walls between us.

You are me, I accept you.

I am you, you accept me.

I have embraced, the dark of us.
