I’ve Learned; The Beast
Like a beast you were
who I had sympathy for
you were always lurking
in the dark recesses of my mind
only to be discovered in time.
You stayed silent
I stayed vigilant
and at the end
my empathy you could hear
accepting your apology
as you knew there was nowhere else to go.
So you stayed near
only to hear
what I was to teach you
and sometimes
just sometimes,
I think you have sympathy for me too.
No longer do you sneak around
in my head
No longer do you try to sway me
in your direction.
Now I have my own path
and instead of you adding forks in the road
you actually walk beside me.
You were brought to the light
and I think you liked it.
Despite all your darkness
and terrible ways of misleading me
I stayed who I was
and that was enough
for you to see.
Maybe humans aren’t all bad
and maybe what you did was sad
but there is hope for you
and I see that now.
You were forgiven
and let me go.
That is all I can ask for,
returned to the source,
because I get along with both of you
I realize you aren’t much different than me
Just trying to prove your worth
to the only one who knows
of such things.
The only one that can save your soul.
You came to me and I brought you there
Judgement day had come
And we intertwined in my mind
by some force of nature
to only discover
we are the same.
The darkness you possessed
once inside of me
used alchemy at its finest
to take you there
to be forgiven
just as I had to be forgiven.
Now we know
who is in control.
I could hear him forgive you
and you took me along.
So you used me as eyes and ears
to see the world around me.
I just keep hoping you liked what you saw
and realize we weren’t a mistake
but becoming human
can be hard to do
and I think you know that.
You and me are not in control
not at all.
All we can do is control ourselves
and even then there’s someone left
when it all goes dark
there was someone there
to lead me back to the light.
You let me start over,
even though I can’t see you,
I will always remember
the fight…
that took place inside me.
