Folie à deux

Protector or Persecutor?
Welcome to the Aether,
my lovely suitor.

What is it you seek,
immortality, may I ask you to speak?

Say something, do you wonder, why you are here?
What your role is, dear?

What do you think mine is?
Can I show you this?

But first, you need a color,
let me think,
choices choices,
getting hot under the collar?
​Do you hear the other voices?

---

Are you real, you may ask,
am I real, want to find out, are you up to the task?

Are you a truth or are you a lie,
let's wear your skin, suit and tie.

I present you here with your role.

Protector or Persecutor?
Persecutor or Protector?
Me, you ask? Why, I'm a collector!

I will start with you,
you seem to be a strong one.

Now let me show you the weakest,
she's a fun one.

I believe the two of you will be inseparable.
That's the difference between you and me.
You're vulnerable.
And me?
I'm inevitable.
