Tunnel Vision (Free verse) by x311
Eye to eye, will against will
I can see inside of you
One thing you still pursue
With the knowledge you possess
You could take it, hurt me
A knife jutting from my spine
Your eyes scream it out
Use her to bend me, break me
As I leave her side the creeping begins
Slowly, so slowly you slither closer
Defenseless, unaware -- teeth flash
With one bite, pain would rain down
Hurting her and crushing me
This one sly move and you win
I'd be double-crossed, she'd be scarred
So simple -- loss not an option
...except I can see your eyes
"I will take your only love, your treasure
I will spite you, let you grow with wrath
Watch as it consumes you, then fall"
How you seem to vex me
Everything in the world is at your fingertips
Yet you choose this one to task me
What you fail to see is this
Success is not within your grasp
You see a shining moment of glory
That will become your day of demise
She is not yours to take, to have
Just as she is not mine
She is free
Free from your treachery
So I say try, I implore you
For we will stand above you
As you cower on your knees
