Unraveling Illusions

Knowing glares

Brawls and fights

Taunts exchanged

Laughter and cries

.

He was my comrade

A ray of hope

An idiot, of course

And never better than me

.

We were the same

In the choices we made

In the battles we fought

In the passion we shared

.

And yet so different

.

Bright eyes shining

Grinning ear to ear

An outstretched arm

Wiping off tears

.

He was a blessing in my life of despair

.

He screamed and I stared

She held herself, sobbing

He roared and I gaped

Her armor reappeared

.

I watched as the beautiful wings spanned the sky

As scales covered him, matching his fiery eyes

They screamed but I stayed frozen in place

Fixated on the horror unfolding

.

I looked at the stars, amused by the cruel fate

As he made me bleed

Just the late night musings of an angsty sleepless author.
