When you impersonated me, I let you put these words in my mouth, this venom that stung my tongue and seared my throat, the sweet acid dripping from my lips. You pierced my flesh and I let the dark seep in, spreading under my skin. Your hatred and purpose pumped through me, I let it drive me, move me, like my blood moves me heart. I felt you radiate from my centre, from my core, I let you win me. Though it felt more like my give, than your take.
They tell me I cannot keep you, they tell me I can be free from you. They tell me I cannot win against you, they tell me I can help stop you. They tell me over and over. But when I feel you just beneath the surface, when I feel your reason beat in time with me, when I feel you in me, all there is, is you.
I crave the feel of your control, spreading through my system, it moves too slowly for my taste. I don’t think I can go on pretending to resist you much longer.
I am you and you are me. There’s a lot of me inside you and a little of you in me. I hear my words from you, and my resolve feeds you. We will be together, forever fused as one, the leader and the echo, the sun and the shadow. I have finally found where I need to be, why I must use you, your reluctant compliance making it so much more than interesting. The place inside the ring where I reside being so much more bearable with you than with any previous vessel.
There are times when I can almost forget my task and all the events in my life that lead to this. I can forget the ‘hostility’ you hold for me and see what you really feel. I am something beyond inhuman to you, something so much higher.
I crave the feel of your surrender, filling me up from the inside, it claws its way up too slow. I don’t think I can go on pretending to hate you much longer.
I adore the song Vessel by Nine Inch Nails, I adore Nine Inch Nails to be fair but yeah I've been meaning to try and write a fic based off that song, it's fitting for Bakura/Ryou. As is Sad But True by Metallica but I prefer this song. If you haven't heard it go listen!
This was writing practice, I'm really out of touch so I'm breaking myself in gently. Not overly happy with this but hey, at least I'm writing again.
