He sits cowered 

As if he never left the womb

Drenched in a sodium rich shower

He thirsts for courage

And his name shall be confidence


She stands

Arms lowered on either side

Mind is intent

Eyes dark with

Making noise only when she acts

Her name is strength


They shift from cold and solid

To molten liquid

Burning like dry ice 

Blistering as if lava

It's always a surprise

The pulse of their action

Tells you they're love


She has wings

Crimson a true bloody colour

Razing with such a fierceness

She makes ashes of everything and everyone

Even her own soul

She is a true phoenix

She is anger

He knows less than he knows

Clothed with no perspective

Blessed with blindness 

And no sense of senses

He hears emperor

Where there is no thread

We call him hubris

She is a silver 

Second to one

Slowly remembered 

All she is is following

And chasing

I know her as loss

The scars are merely a facade

Wounds remain withered

Yet the blood stays fluid

They’re each a lesson

Together they are known

As a tainted memory

They are two halves of pain

 

They speak with the voice of one

Growing short with being razed

Shelter was found in my shadows

Coming together as demons are want to do

Conquering a principality

They are no longer they or a few

I now present before you

Us
