On misty moons, I wander free,

Escaping life's cacophony,

The world's too loud—a fading sound,

As nature's peace enfolds me round.

I've never felt second best,

Being a twin, you get asked a lot of questions:

"Who's older?"

"Who's smarter?"

"Who's the favorite?"

I used to wake up and just watch you breathe,

I'd see your face and smile; we were in love. 

It hurt me in a way that I would seethe

Every time I saw you and I've become

A monster who covers all of their scars,

• Add a little bit of truth in the mix
• Bury it in cups of sentences
• A pinch of darkness
• Stir in that liter of death, himself
• Teaspoon of loneliness
• Knead together the memories of the last twelve years

He grabs my hand like he did last week—it might even be at the same time if I remembered— and pulls me across the hallway stained with the cafeteria's red sauce that students have been spilling for ages, and into what he calls "our place

I'm falling into the deep end,

That dark place that floods me

Over and over till I'm drowning

And I just float, float, float.
