Beyond Dreams

[Mimickry]

Dreams of grandeur always entered my mind when thinking of desires.
Looking upon those better off with disdain and envy.
Nightmares of that gap being an end one day. Because of a lack of conformity.

Dreams of a lonely child.
Nightmares of rejection.

Unfathomable.
The Dreams.
The Nightmares.

"Look at me."

Gazing with bleeding eyes.
They gazed back upon the lonely child.

"Stay with me."

They would only stare.

The child left.
They did not.

The Dreams they clouded.
The Nightmares they replaced.

Eyelids shut.

"Only I and It."

And for the Night.
Awake.
From the nightmares of time and life.

"Don't try to understand. You'll only hurt yourself. Accept them. Like I did."

You're so lovely like this.
You don't raise your claws towards me.
You don't attempt to bombard me with a magical onslaught.
And?
You're. All. Mine.
...
Don't be angry.
I did promise you that if you stood so steadfast in my way?
I would tear your head off.
Look on the bright side.
You're not trapped in that dingy, boring cave any longer.
Besides.
Now that you're here, crystalline, and in my arms?
We shall be together.
Forever.
And we shall be inseparable, soon enough.
Just you wait.
We shall gaze as one, soon.
