Warmth, the chill of night,
frozen lakes with ice threatening to shatter like glass
The piercing rays of sunlight, a warmth that stings like daggers

The suffocating darkness clawing at your throat,

Smiling, yet breaking inside
Like a perfect masquerade, hiding one's self from the eyes of blurred faces

To be breathing, yet not able to breathe

To be moving forward, yet to nowhere

Who are you? Who am I?

Continuing down darkened cobblestone path, hoping they will lead to the castle...
A castle covered in roses...
Yet...
Every rose has its throns...

Who are you? Who am I?
Why do you continue to follow? Like an indispensable shadow?

A lump begins to form, as if I swallowed a stone
Painful, yet not enough to make me fall

Who are you? Why do you extend your hand to the pathetic me?

Ah... that's right...

You taught me to breathe~
