I Can't Let Go

I open my eyes
An acquaintance beside me
Sitting at our stadium-educational
Emblazoned red and white
We spoke of invasion
A rivalry that was rotten
We walked down the strips of mountain
And fastened my eyes above
The enemy's stadium-educational
Burnish black and gold
My peer disappeared open-mouthed
I climbed to its reach
I knew what I sought
Front to Back
A crater in my mind
In two leaps I was there
Left: the brood
Right: the glass
I push through the glass
Eyes searching
I slipped into the room
You were shocked
A mockery was there beside you but hazed out
Nearer
No
I didn't want to touch you
No
You didn't want to touch me
But we embraced
What had felt like decades of emptiness was filled
Shaping into old
Comfortable positions
Speaking softly
Feeling warmth
The mockery emerged through the door
Small
Brash
Loud
Short
A rat-gnat like thing
Something about him made my hands clench
A threat was shot at me
I caught it with anticipation
Reshaped it
Threw it back
Another
Another
I grew ******
Risen
I faced the mockery headlong
He spew feeble words
I launched my fists
Battered
He retreated
I still in flames
You cajoled me to your side
Spoke in whispers
I learned of your hatred for this place
Imprisoned it seemed
You longed for escape
I longed for you
I arose once more to peek into the hall
Planning for departure
I opened the path
The mockery stood there waiting
I...
Rival elites formed beside him
4 > 1
I felt threatened
I felt your need
Up
Up
Up we fled
Hand in Hand
The stairs grew impatient
We passed countless roms of colored lace
Higher and higher
Till we reached a room of lace that possessed no color
Only the deepest shade of black
I continued pressing farther up
You stopped
Beckoning me to stay with you there
The onyx room had a side hole-window
A pool table in the middle right
Everything laced in obsidian
Pressed together
I felt your lips
I felt elevation
Mere moments passed before they caught up
We hid inside
You trembling
The mockery searched through the opening
Spotting us
His others held machines digesting death
They rang through the walls at us
I became multiple
Rolling
Dodging
Trying to protect you from the bullet rain
Slots counted my sacrifices
My health neared the brink
As the guns emptied hollow
I laid there
Torn and bleeding
Feeling ravaged inside
Feeling your safety
The mockery stood above me
Smug-eyed
Grinning victory
Holding a kris
A tool for my final death
As his arm descended I flickered
And leaped a dagger into his own form
Eyes shot
I stared him into the cold eternity that awaited
When he fell
The elites fell
All was silent in the black room
I felt victorious
I felt your need for closure
I spread you on the pool table
Spit on your mouth
And closed my eyes
