I am afraid

I may think I'm not afraid,
and might believe this for a while.

Until again I see you there.
Until again I feel you there.
Until again I fear you there.

You are my own blood's brother,
that has slain me
since before the dawn of time.

Though I know with every sinew
of this mortal flesh and bone,
that our destiny is sealed
til we become as one.

I am afraid.

It's true I cannot hide from you.
I cannot run, nor can I conquer you

Only ever this must occur;
I must die again.
You must wield the sword.

You are my own blood's brother.
Your fate's entwined with mine.

I must die and you must slay me,
til for each the truth is known.
We must become as one

Yet....

I am afraid.
