Duality

I am the urge you can’t contain

On purest hearts, a ruthless stain

A blood red paint, a crimson hue

You’re part of me, I’m part of you

You turn away, but can’t deny

I am the truth to every lie

Where you see dark, I see the light

Where you see peace, I see the fight

We’re bound by fate since dawn of time

What I call justice, you call crime

My warm embrace you can’t decline

For I am yours, and you are mine

    1. Indeed. Without the darkness, light cannot exist. To secure peace, prepare for war.
      We may not always like it, but conflict is the very nature of life itself sometimes.
