As I walked into the darkness

I couldn't see your eyes

But felt you stare

The only dim light guiding me

There have been so many changes

You've changed so much

You've become strange

Far too strange for me to recognize

I don't see you anymore

Can't think of you as family

I don't see my brother in your eyes anymore

As I felt my enemies swarming around me

I felt your distant presence

The faint gleam of your eyes watching me

And then I learned you've always been watching me

Now that I've changed

Now I can say

That I'm not up to betraying you

I won't let go of the burden you placed upon me

I couldn't understand back then

But now I'm old enough to see

The clarity of your actions

The wisdom of your destruction
