So my secret is out you say? That
would depend which secret you are referring to. That I am a clone? Everyone
knows that by now. Or that I have a dark disease pulsating through my veins,
one I am quite fond of? Big deal. It’s exciting, never to have to hold back,
unpredictability is a drug. We all crave it.
So what possible secret could I hold that is worth keeping? Imagine me
giving you a sly smirk right now because I have not the misfortune of
compassion that will cause me to spill my secrets. Without them there is no
hand to be dealt.
Will my secret keep him close?
Perhaps. But here is my confession, I have something better than secrecy. I
have absolution. With me, he is not bound, it will be out of choice. With me, he
never has to hold back. And I would love him for the good and especially in the
bad. When I gave my word that I’d stop my tricks – I lied. That’s the thing with
obsession. It does not care. It only wants, and it is so fixated on want, that
it becomes need, and it shall have all it wants and needs. And while I have no time to ponder who I am, clone
– what a stupid word, I am already on my way to loving him forever. That’s how
I play it, because I just don’t care. Everyone
knows I am nothing like my pathetic prime. That with me, it’s all bad
intentions and violent, narcissistic adoration. That is not who I am. I am but
one thing - in absolution.
