"A Letter To You"

By: Jubpawz


Dear Ost,

As it begins, my logic fights the fall…

I forbid such a perplexing notion to come near.

And I find it unfathomable – against my nature…

My wayward mind is clouded by our wicked waltz.

My day is consumed with coherence – connection.

Induction, deduction, rationale and sound judgment

All impulse, theory, and emotion are lost to me.

Can I really intertwine with your differing world?

Yet, without you I'd be void for you gave me existence.

Without you, I am incomplete – a half of a whole.

These feelings suffocate me, but this silence must end.

So… mein bruder, meine liebling, meine Ost…

Can I love you and be loved in return?


Dear Westen,

As it begins, I know I've already fallen…

I allow such a forbidden insanity to creep in.

And I find it exhilarating – these sultry steps…

I relish in the teasing tone of our twisted tango.

As you grow strong, I grow rebellious – unruly

Amusement and pleasure replace war as my drug

No longer am I influencing this ever evolving era.

Can I really be relevant in your contrasting world?

Yet, I know that if I persist, I will gain meaning again.

Together, you and I in a complimentary team…

This path frightens me, but we can't pretend anymore.

So…mein bruder, meine lieber, meine Westen…

Can I love you and be loved in return?


I hope you liked it. Rate and Review, bitte~
