Through the shadows of the streets
Crossing sidewalks and curbs
By the windows where the heat
Of the night viciously disturbs
The late night silence, with an unpredictable beat
To the open road, on my own two feet

And heavier, and longer
The world is a cold, cruel colisseum
Of dominance and destruction
The one with the hand and imperium
The other with an unstable construction
Never learning as the days grow older

The rampage rages with unprecedented rate
Momentum gaining, time shredding
The point of backtrack hangs in a noose
And all the Gods are meddling
As the cages rip open, these demons are loose
No words are spoken, but still shifting is the debate

You're under my skin again, completely beneath
And the covers whip like a beast of war
The arch of the spine and the call of command
I'm melting away at the innermost core
All of the power within me is of high demand
As the waves submerge and I am here, underneath

The casualty of war is my dignity
No matter how strong my denial claims to be
Am I too much a man, or not enough
In a moment's stealth breath, I struggle to see
Your face as the quakes grow more rough
The blueprint for conclusion is a complete mystery

I am a silhouette soldier
Crawling through the battlefield
And until the last dying breath
To you, I would never yield
Only to return before our connection's death
I want your warmth, before the days grow any colder

A story of two individuals who stabbed each other in the back at least once, never got along, but could always find a brief common ground in the realm of lust.

A fictional story for me out of the normal realm of writing. Although I've hinted to areas of stuff of a more questionable nature, nothing as focused as this.

I debated about labeling it for mature content. But its not a lot of metaphor, instead of right out descriptiveness.

I like it, but I didn't get the metaphor until you explained. :)

That was a little bit intentional, I think. Haha. I like retaining some level of ambiguity, just so they can be translated in different ways to different people. Especially with this sort of topic, I don't like touching this topic for the sake of just being there. If I'm going to do it, there has to be a story to it.

And thanks, I'm glad you liked it. :)
