I stare down at your unconscious frame

And wonder what the lines between us are

I wonder if there's a spirit in you that could be tamed

Or if the gaps between innocence and evil are too large

*~*

I tried to help you, believing you to be

A human like me, home ruined, family torn apart

I tried to help you, believing that you told the truth to me

And yet you would shed my blood without any remorse in your heart

~*~

But perhaps the reason that I cannot end your life

Is the very reason why we are so far from being the same

I cannot murder you because the gaps between us are to large to fight

I cannot take your life because my naivete has not been tamed

~*~

So live on, oh cold and evil murderer

Live on -- we'll meet again one day

And then, I know that both of us will fight and I will turn

And struggle with killing you again -- someday
