Closing Time
by Omega

 

 

"I tried, t'hy'la, I honestly did.
I tried to conquer the war inside me.
But I have failed.
The conflict is a deep, dark madness within me.
I will not burden you with it.
It would be poor return for what you have given me.
You have given me my home.
You have given me your trust.
You have given me my soul.
But I must give it back.
I must leave, t'hy'la.
I cannot allow you to be dragged down into darkness by this madness.
For it is a madness.
You would tell me differently.
You would say that it is worth the confusion and silent pain.
The madness is known as love.
I love you.
This cannot be.
A Vulcan does not feel these things!
I am a Vulcan.
I will be in control.
That is why I must leave.
Live long and prosper, t'hy'la.
Our paths shall not cross again."

"A lone man entered the temple today.
Forbidden emotion on his face.
He seeks to be reborn untainted,
but I doubt that he will succeed.
For I have seen his dreams at night.
He dreams of flying on a silver bird.
He flies it into the sun.
The sun welcomes him and envelopes him in love.
Love.
A foolish and costly emotion.
It has already cost this man his soul.
But he refuses to see it.
But one day he will.
He will return to his silver bird.
But I do not know if the sun will forgive him."
