Collision

Twisting tendrils of confusion
filtering through my mind
holding me hostage
keeping me blind

I ran from the past
racing away from the fire
encasing myself in ice
denying the desire

With a blast of cruelty
my past lashed at me
slamming me back
into a distant dream

Two parts of me collide
Neither more right than the other
My heart aching, confused
The path left for me to discover

I try to deny what I want
Because it is not right
I cannot have both
I can't be day and night

I know the pain will come
The darkness stalks me still
The predator waiting to pounce
I already feel the chill

This time I will stand and fight
Taking what I need
Stand my ground for once
To my desires I will heed

For once I will be the hunter
I will stalk and capture
Choosing who I want
Living in rapture

Feeling the freedom
Ecstatic in this light
Set loose in the day
Wreaking havoc on the night
