• It all began when we were young.
    I was the timid, the scared, and the weak.
    You were the strong, the brave, and the defender.
    Nothing could separate us.

    Time passed, and the bond weakened.

    You made new friends. I didn't think highly of them.
    I was the pariah, the outcast, and the shunned.
    You were the paragon, the normal, and the accepted.
    I began to worry.

    Time passed, and the bond weakened.

    You insulted me, you hurt me, and you rejected me.
    I was the sad, the broken, and the beaten.
    You were the corrupted, the fallen angel, and the feared.
    A nightmare had become reality.

    Time passed, and the bond was broken.

    I have changed. As have you.
    Now I am the strong, the brave, and the defender.
    Now you are the hated, the antagonist, and the violator.
    Now we are locked in eternal conflict.

    What happened to us?
