Well...? Can I speak now, too? Am I allowed?

You've brought me to my knees, at your disposal...

You're right, I'm weak and foolish. Never proud

But I couldn't agree with your proposal.

You're in control. I do admit, I can't deny.

I gave it to you when my hatred made you.

Primarily because I just wanted to die.

I really thought my soul you would subdue.

But I was wrong and you, as always, right.

You tried and failed to help me, as you could.

You're really strong, I see that. You can fight.

But I'm starting to wonder if you should.

I cannot let you take kindness away.

Because I've seen what true harshness looks like.

It feeds on happiness, kills it as prey

And, not just once, it punctured like a spike.

I need you, too. I cannot lose you, either

Because you are the bad side of my coin.

You're the unwritten fragment of my chypher,

The alter-ego that I had to join.

I'm scared, but leave my fear as it is.

He just assures I cannot slip again.

All of our choices also became his

The first time our tears became rain.

You may be right. Maybe I cannot help myself,

Maybe my neck will wrap around a rope.

But there's one thing you can't kill, can't take off the shelf.

No matter what, you cannot kill my hope...
