A Light and a Shadow

A/N: Just a little margin-jot from the BlurbiVerse on the Eiri/Shuichi dynamic...an example of finals sucking out my brain. I make no claims that it is good. :) But I was merciful enough to keep it short.

Fated to follow, fated to dance,
A light and a shadow are mated by chance.
Dancing together, but always apart—
Never to stop...and yet never to start.

Touch that is yearning, touch that is frail—
A light and a shadow touch through a veil.
Horizons can bend but they cannot break
An endless confusion, an exquisite ache.

They cannot meet, and they will not go—
A light and a shadow, caught in limbo.
Reasons unravel until they entwine;
A dance divided, a dance divine.

Follow the light, wherever it leads.
The light only wants, but the shadow needs.
Protests fall flat, for it cannot resist
A way of being, a means to exist.
