I no longer recognize the man I am today. Blurred mirrors, vague shadows, secret past. It's like lucid dreaming in a nightmare I could never escape- haunting, fearful, filled with twists and turns, and with each, revealed a horrible truth. Who am I deep inside I dare not look. I don't want to face my moral consequences. Right now. I want to right my wrong doing what is best for my ego for my friendship for him. Sky shuts down. Tears rain down. Thundering thoughts rumbles down my chilling spine. He calls for me. He needs me. He... forgives me.
