Schism

Eva and Ava confront their choices and motives. Their inner conflict remains, and they seek unity and self-understanding. Can the story be rewritten?

An artistic depiction of two contrasting female figures with intricate hairstyles, one with silvery hair and the other with fiery red tresses, gazing at each other in a fantastical, cosmic setting.
You wrenched fool, Eva screams out loud,
Who longed for love, a home, a life.
Believed self worth was what you'd found Ava?
Was it ice cold pride that pushed him away?
Watch him build a life, a future, you Idiot.

Ava rages back, with a furious tone,
Yelling, Love you wished to be carved?
Or a cage built to trap yourself?
You feared to be alone, dummkopf!

You were selfish, denying, sobbing,
You let your fears haunt you, 
You walked away from the love so true
No see, How empty are you? Loser!

I am not empty, Ava retorts
Don't you see? I needed a space
Owning myself was all I wished for
Not to trade my soul for playing the lamb.

Their voices clashed, blaming each other,
Every word bruised, each phrase a whip, 
The grief within them, flowed across, 
Neither of them, could ease their pain.

Two selves at war, to know thyself
Their unity questioned them stabbing,
Which one was false? which one the Queen?
They found no answers, though tried.

Their unified voice whispered pleading
Can i rewrite this story?
Make myself whole without this cruel divide?
