No Black and White

It was raining that day as well
If I had come, I would have been free
but I chose to be hunted. Why?
Why did you love me?
I'm ordinary,
but the type of beautiful dangerous ordinary
that you can't leave alone.

The target was not terminated
He got away
and walked into a tomb
Everyone has lost their place in the world;
it's those cold winds.

This time, he will stay with her.
Together until the end.
Together until they die.
It's their fight:
dealing with their own past.

She's running toward him,
as slow as can be.
A gun shot fires and she falls, like a beautiful angel
with hair blowing in the wind;
lips move, but not a sound.

So he has decided to kill death,
for he has no place to return to,
with her dead the battle has begun.
He will come.

I'm not going there to die, he said.
I'm going there to find out if I'm really alive.
He didn't flinch as bullets rushed past his head.

He took off, into the emptiness of space, following a lost dream
as women and children wept.

The past swept past
the thoughts of a camaraderie long forgotten
of lovers past.

He walked into the building, and all hell broke out:
One man, at the top of his game.
The mindless violence of the past, the senseless bloodshed.
Glass everywhere as he ran,
murdering those he used to consider friends,
looking for the one who betrayed him,
and killing everyone in his way, watching as
his one tie to reality falls.
The one person who was really waiting
was a person he never even knew.

The one is finally awake,
paying no mind to the dagger in his heart.
The betrayer fell.

It's all a dream.
Yeah, just a dream.
One that no one can ever wake from.

Sticking out a single finger,
he whispers "Bang" and
the victor falls to the ground
to return to loved ones lost.
Silence.
