Legends never die (Free verse) by luzrheroguy
How can I look at you, and see twin faces Truest love and darkest foe Is it time for us to run the back streets? Am I really falling for your poisoned scent? We both know I should know better You always talk of the good times When we were barely more than children Playing as partners, in a dangerous city Taking things as they came, ever chasing more Then I remember the day you died in my arms I spoke at your funeral But they never got to the burial I watched you rise, changed And you laughed before you struck the first blow It was dry, heartless, and cutting I couldn't win the battle We both knew it, So I thought I'd settle for the war Then you killed me Just as planned I was born to do this Legends never die, Not forever You knew I had extra lives So here I am, looking at what you've become One year later I feel like I just woke up From the worst year of my life And here you are Alive and breathing In a bed you never slept in In a house across town Where we grew up, Private confessions and whispered secrets You still whisper to me, Don't you Are you playing me for the fool again? Ready to strike when I least expect it Or have you honestly been restored To the girl that used to draw me graphic stories Of her first rescue from the lonely dark You always were afraid to be alone in the dark It looks like here I am again The arrogant fool seeking to be your hero Just one thing I want you to remember If you plan on killing me Stab deeper this time
