A Shadow's Pain

You wanted to talk, you say, brother? I don't think you've thought of that since you grew that wretched courage. But, don't be mistaken. This isn't a conversation. Let's rewind all the way back to the beginning.

When we fell, we went our own ways but you don't have the slightest inkling of the pain I went through! So full of hate with no way to purge it. I had no path to redemption. Hunted. Like a cur. Treated like a mistake by no measure of my hand.

Why me, BROTHER?! Why was I given all the bad and disgust and agony? Who lamented for me, dear brother? Who listened as I ripped my own heart out to discard the pain of no PATHWAY to redemption? Where is MY justice?

Why am I such a bastard? I could ask others that question. It's always circular, brother. Who EVER showed me compassion? Where have I ever had sanctuary, BROTHER?

Now dear brother

One last time

Draw your blade

Let steel fly

One of us

Is sure to die

If I go out by your hand

Atleast now you know

I do hate you

Envy you

And love you

Brother

Engage

Dear brother

Your hope

My despair

Who's fat lady shall leave wearing?

Yours or mine?

Engage

Dear Brother

Your heart

My malice
