Listen To A Story About Love
This is a story about love.
A wondrous tale of passion, love, betrayal, hatred, and heartache. Something of the sort that will take you upon the wings of an angel, and drop your soul into the depths of hell.
So Listen.
I will tell you a story you will not easily forget --- one you cannot turn away from, or deny, or lave behind in the folds of my hands and on the edges of my lips.
It is the story you have searched for all the years, the one you resolved to uncover no matter what the cost to yourself or others. You have traveled the world looking an answer only I can reveal, and now you are here, armed with a long-ago fury that has cooled and hardened and turned into rigid certainty, seeking the truth, intent on proving it to the world.
You have come to destroy me --- you who can save me with your silence. You have come to destroy me, and all I can do to absolve myself is to offer you my words as I have offered my skin, to take your hand and guide it over my memories as if they were my flesh, as if I could seduce you with my tale instead of my passion.
Is the Truth more urgent than Desire?
So come closer. I will show you what you have wanted to know since the beginning of our time together. For when I am done, you will believe that which seems impossible to you now --- that you and I are one and the same, regardless of all of our differences, that you cannot undo me without destroying yourself, that hearing my story has made you --- my confessor, my judge, my enemy --- it has made you my accomplice.
