Let the sweat drip down your brow.
Never again. Never again.
Turn your eyes up to me now.
Always will.
I Always will.
I wrap the flames around my chest.
Keep them tight.
Fill me with light.
The ugly side of me ceaselessly caressed.
The pawn, he moves.
The knight, he takes his chance.
The queen strikes a deadly blow.
The bishop slips quietly out the door.
They stare into me, unaware of what appears.
"Do you think I enjoy finding difficulty in caring for you or myself? A hell that I am glad you cannot comprehend."
Indeed, he has a heart.
Locked away in a place no mortal shadow will ever find.
Until it is set free.
The sun moves in it's preordained path.
Never questions.
Never wonders.
Never dreams. Never laughs.
The ocean lives forever under the sun and the moon.
Endless life from endless strife.
Would we still live if the sun and the sea could feel?
Pain and anger? Loyalty and love?
Humanity would be burned and buried under its own hatred and avarice.
His heart in the cage is not a crime.
He still feels pain.
He still laughs and smiles.
But it will not consume him whole
until he reaches in his soul
and fills that empty hole
with the hand that haunts his dreams.
to prove that nothing's how it seems...
