Lost Like You

Callisto talks to herself and finds the conversation lacking.
I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't make that move. I wouldn't want to be lost like you.
She'd reply... if it really mattered. When talking to those sides of yourself, it is best to hold your tongue.

There is before Cirra. And even then, Callisto didn't believe in much.
Oh, she had love. But little else.
And there is after Cirra. That's when the wild and reckless passion was released.
That is when Callisto let herself be truly free.

What is freedom? Are you free now? Or are you just bound to love that which you hate? To always be a step behind?
Callisto doesn't answer. It doesn't matter. Things like love don't matter to a girl like herself.
Unless it is the kind of love she can tear apart and eat up, set it on fire and beat it down.
A love like that just might mend her broken bird-like heart.
Then again, maybe not.
Yes... maybe not...

Callisto waits for conformation and hears nothing.
So, she keeps moving and asking for death and hoping for oblivion and wishing for the dark hands that mangled her past to come back.
She aches for Xena to finish the job, to finally give Callisto what she has forever wanted.

What do you want?
Nothing and everything.
You want too much.
I know.
