Iiris Vesik - Unicorn

As the shadows of the day
Grew too long
I could see that mine was missing
It was gone

And the part of me
That kept happiness
Grew so panicked
That I could not let it rest

All that I could hear was

“Hello back
We’ll take you among us
But the seeds of mercy
Will travel no more”

They’ll travel no more

So I went into the dark shadow realm
All the shadows playing
Right beneath my eyes
And I searched for the face
I knew oh so well
(It was out of sight)
Until I stumbled
On it’s eyes of red and white

All that I could hear was...

“Hello back
We’ll take you among us
But the seeds of mercy
Will travel no more”

So I looked at him and I asked him why
“Why did you have to leave me in
half?”
And he answered me
With a cold, low voice of my own
“It was you who drove me to grow
apart”

As blank knowledge
Sank deep beneath my skin
I knew that the truth
Was breathing in him
And I realized, that of course
I wasn’t a Unicorn
I was just a mere horse

We infused into each other
The shadows in me burned as I learned
“Great, great battles are ahead”
He said
And we returned...
