Our Stare, not theirs.

You've been the first to know,  
and you'll be the last I'll tell.  
   
It's come around,  
this cycle  
of Hate  
and of Love.  
But it's rather...  
Manipulative.  
   
In the sweetest of ways,  
it's brought us closer.  
or maybe I assume too much.  
We've known,  
known of a connection.  
of our blank, apathetic stares  
gazing back years ago.  
inciting fear in others  
but only desire with ourselves  
to know each other.  
Better than we know ourselves  
   
You tell me,  
and I'll tell you  
that our hands will never be clean  
so we share in the blood,  
the scars.  
Why bother trying to wash them?     
   
My past is yours  
and your pain is mine.
