"I am aware of that madness and craze, or so people hast said, Of the mad king, with the eyes of the sky but the head darker then sun could ever reach. Little do they all know, that all men are mad and crazed. The king merely decided to face that of his own."

Delphi An oracle In which only Apollo God of the sun Of poetry Of medicine Of archery Of honesty Of the muses And of the oracles Only he yielded the keys Forged of golden Ichor and tears Casted into the plated nook of Hades armor And cooled in the deepest reaches of the seas and the highest high of the heavens That gave way to the oracles heart And perhaps she loved him He who was as warm as the sunlight which kissed lovingly on her skin He who could breathe not one lie, but rather spoke the truth with a voice soft He who sang merrily through halls and merry met ears who pondered in to listen Yes, perhaps she loved him. Perhaps that is why she took him by his hand And murmured words sacred As she passed the key to him Unneeding to utter what she wanted He already knew Perhaps that is why she stayed behind Watching as others loved him as she did But never the same Perhaos because she knew she couldn't have him So the best she could do Was give him her heart And hope he would cherish it

Feigned innocence Chaotic purity Ruby trickling down her sacred lips And he shivered Breathing Swollen and raw Dark marks on impure skin Golden blood running from ancient veins Immortality Silence Then screaming Echoes And fading Until secrets are unwoven Like cloth unraveled on crooked forms Throats pumping Vulnerability Danger Love Obsession Ruby trickling Ichor strings Sharp teeth Sharper hearts Glass shards Wholly heaving Shudders Pupils staring Starlight Dizziness Thrilling She bit He cowered The king And his queen She was the one who ruled

Maybe you don't understand. Maybe you do I really can't tell any longer. It's not easy to do this. Not easy to push you away. Not easy to try and keep myself from becoming attached. You ask why. Why push you away? Can't you see Why?! You will only leave when the battle is over! I'm not useful I'm not any sort of advantage And if I was I'm not a big enough advantage for you to stay So why do I push you away? Because I don't need the delusion of someone I never had. Someone who left when I was young. I've kept myself alive since I was 12 with no one to help me. So why would I ever need you now?! ". . ." Heh.. Nothing to say? That's what I thought- "Your right" "You don't need me." I- ... There is a profound difference between 'Need' And 'Want' "When you get what you need, you don't need it anymore" When you get what you want You want to keep it as long as you can. "why are you telling me this?" Because I don't need you here. . . . I /want/ you here.
