Embracing Love and Power

What if you felt like with each passing day you were getting closer to the moment you were going to explode?
What if you felt that with each passing day you were getting closer to the point where you would destroy your own people?
What if you knew that those same people didn't know about that destruction, but thought you were the solution?
What if you knew the only person who could stop you, could save you, wanted you dead?

And at the same time he was the one who could destroy her, her and her people.
