Solitude

Solitude?
Is that what you called it,
When I had first made fun of him?

You had said it was so harsh,
So lonely,
Having no one around,
No one to tell you they loved you.

Then why are you leaving?
I love you, can't you see?
You are leaving your friends,
Your only family.

I know what happened that night,
But can’t you put that in the past?
Do you really need to seek out revenge?
Just stay here, with me.
We will live happily.

I can give you the love that you need,
I can mend that broken heart,
I can erase those memories,
And we can start anew.

You do not have to leave tonight,
You do not need to be the avenger,
You can just remember your family for who they were,
And leave it at that.

I’m sure your mother would not approve.
She would want you to love her,
Want you to remember her,
And live your life normally,
To settle down,
And be free from this torture.

The one you are killing is your brother,
Your mentor,
Your friend.
He deserves it, I know, but don’t do this.
Don’t blacken your heart with this evil.
If you succeed, you will be nothing more than he.

But, my love, if my words have done nothing to change you,
Then take me with you.
I don’t have any reason here,
I have no future with these people.

Let me live with you,
Let me help you with all you need,
Don’t be afraid to open your heart,
Don’t be afraid to say you need help.
Because that’s why I am here,

I want to be your help,
Your lover,
Your liberator from
Solitude.
