Painful emptiness
Emptiness in the dark
Love that saves others
Love that destructs others
tears in vanity…
I walked slowly beneath the collection of melted candles flame. They looked so beautiful as the white roses that exposed to the twilight sun. The shadow from the lights of the candles flame is shimmering as if it reflects all the memories of you and me in the past. So beautiful, lots of happiness, so strong, yet so fragile and too painful. We laugh, we smiled, we cried, we sinked into the darkness, and we rose again. That was the reflection of the life we have been through together. But those lights from the candle flame were gone just because of the gentle blowing wind, as well as my heart felt the same. It is over now, all that remains is just a hollow in the silence of solitude.
The day that I fear finally came over to me. The day that I should take you to the front gate of death at the end of the road of life. I know this is an absolute ending that you and I will surely meet. Everybody dies at the end of the time, but still it scares me just to think that someday I might lose your existence. But that's the risk I have to face because I'm stubbornly choose to remain by your side, whom is someone who comes from the darkness. Killing people is the thing that always adorn your everyday living. People with positions and the environment around you made you can’t run away from such dirty tasks. “Kill or to be killed”, that's the only choice you have in your life.
Somewhere deep inside my broken memories, I remember that the day I met you were not like stories in fairy tales where a beautiful princess met the handsome prince and live happily ever after as what often depicted in fairy tale stories….. "Hell" ... that's just the most suitable word to describe the situation where we first met. I feared….I feared of your existence at first, but after I try to understand you deeper, it made me realize that deep inside your heart, there is a glimmer of light that dreaming for freedom and the feeling of unconditional love. The biggest decision of my life was when I decided to give up all the glittering light of my life to accompany you to walk in the darkness.
You know, sometimes people are unable to think clearly when love comes and the devil ensnare the hearts. I don’t know for sure whether it is ignorance or the blindness of love, but I have never regretted the decision I took that time. You're the only person who can see all the darkness that I have, in contrast to others who mostly think and feel that I’m like a princess figure without blemish. Other people always see the “light” part of me and never even notice or see the existence of my shadow. That's why I attracted to your dark existence. You've seen the real me and you were the only one who be able to did that….
Each day, I train myself to be able to accompany you in the chaos and an environment full of resentment. I was increasingly aware of how difficult it is to live in a world filled with lies and evil. It is where the black is white, and the white is black. Truth is not something that people seek. People do everything for the sake of money and popularity. In that kind of world , you and I were struggling. Moreover, my decision to be with you was much more difficult than I would ever imagined, but even so, I still go hand in hand with you. Moved one more step into the dark world without any desire to go away from you.
The days I spent with you has removed some of the darkness in you. I felt that it was a good thing without realizing that it was a thing that would make things even got worse. All of the people around you often say that the feeling of love and affection is a feeling that should not cross in you minds and hearts. Apparently they said, the reason is because those things can make you become weak. On one hand, love could heal, but love is also might bring destruction to your life.
To me, the now you were filled with love and it was a joy for me, but for others around you, you just like a chess pawn that has can’t be use anymore. They didn’t need a chess pawn that full of love. What they need is just a killing-machine-chess-pawn and the now you are not qualified for that. And what will they do to a chess pawn that has no use anymore? Of course, it will be destroyed and discarded. These days we've been through more difficult. Sometimes I feel that my existence only add a burden to you. I have to get stronger. That's what I always say to myself. I did not want to be a figure which should always be protected by you.
But all those days has now gone and all that remains was only the memory pieces that strewn inside my memory. Now I stare at your bloody body that lay on my hand and your body is cold as snow in the winter. There's only me and you in the middle of these collection of candles that melts. The candles that melt is like a life that has been burned down by the fire of life. It is enough and now it's time to let you go. I start to walk forward and trying to bring you with me. Let's take a walk together to the gates of death. I could see that there is a knife near the gate.Something start to cross in my mind, whether that knife is a sign that I should go with you to the other world? If I do that, could I stay with you forever?
I take that knife and I…….
