I will fight you and for everything that I am you know that I will.
When you came you were my guardian, my blinding shadow that stood before me holding me up against the light.
I used to feel your heartbeat beneath you stony chest, I used to feel you in the smile that you reserved for dreams. You once told me that I was your dream, your black fantasy. You told me that I had wings of silver spun webs and a gaze of midnight stars, how could I live up to that image? I asked you once and in your touch I knew that I could be enough.
Now I find my heart afraid. You are built on the two extremes the borders of light and darkness sharing one being. So thin the line that I tread with you the golden thread that weaves our path gets thinner, the border line harder to distinguish, shadow and light, and all the same. Their fight rages on. Your eyes their battle ground, your smile a sacrifice, and me, I am the casualty of war.
My tears, your tears, our tears never falling alone. A drop for a drop for a drop, a single crystal is never enough. My heart bleeds when your heart bleeds, but I am bleeding. My blood, your tears, and part of me is afraid because I have to leave on my own.
I believed once in the power of love. Love conquers all. I was naive, more a child then I would ever admit that I was, your protection made it safe for me to believe in it. I stand here on my own, my life drifting from a plane that flickers like fire ice, and burns the cold wind across my warm body. I see you.
I see you but you can't take the pain away. I know now that love cannot make us right, when you are both and lost and breaking. I'm ready to go. Turn your eyes, this I do alone, because there is no love.
This was your battle. This was your pain, he who fears death and holds it close. You who fought the living realm so I would not fall. I fell. So wipe the blood from off your hands and give me your lips, let me take you away with me.
Quivering lips pressed against mine.
Shaking hands run over my cheeks
Chestnut hair pooling on my stomach.
You were everything, and as I leave I leave you my life. It's time for you to live it. Smile again for me.
"Heero...don't go"
I lied. I believe in love because I love you. Cry no more.
