I see the fear in your eyes
The way they go all bloodshot and watery
The way your right eyebrow twitches
With fleeting thoughts
Of what all the things you'll have to face
Or all the things I could do to you,
Your beloved little brother
Who you swore to protect
From all the evil in the world
But did it include you too?
I see the way your lips twitch
Trying to keep your cool
Maybe you are thinking of ripping me in half too?
Right now
As we stare at each other
But as romantic as it sounds
We can't have a staring game all night
Can we now?
Don't you have a family to go home to?
You'd make me regret it
For I'll lose everything, you said
But you took everything already
Do I have anything else to lose?
Except maybe my life
But have I really cared about that before?
Not really, you know that
But you?
You seem to have a lot to lose
And so little time
Guess we'll have to wait and see who wins
I'll take your leave now
Don't worry though
You'll see me soon
Hopefully in your nightmares
God, I fucking hope you do.
