Live and Die

He looked in her eyes.
Pain. Fear. Demise.

All that was there.
Now lost. Forgotten.

Standing tall. Watch her fall.
Standing weak. Watch him sheek.

Speed of light. It moves too fast.
Not one. Not two. But hundreds to a few.

Little shards, needles made of diamonds.
They flow through the air.

Forming a circle.
There is no escape.

He can't control it.
She refuses to hide from it.

Circling around them. Fast.
Tears fall, down the eyes.

Love once had.
Shattered in time.

Truths hidden into lies.
Their destiny now tied.

Together they lived.
Through joy and happiness.

Apart they grew.
To split into two.

Now distant they stand.
Waiting for that one command.

Grew to hate. Torn by fate.
But die together. With shame and pride.
