mso-ansi-language:EN-GB;font-weight:normal'>Without Hebron I would be naked in
the sun,
Huge
and to be Worshipped!
Oh,
how I wish I did not need Hebron!
Eager
Hebron, ignorant Hebron;
How
easily I control him!
Within
this mask I wear, he cowers in terror.
Too
late he knows my power;
Shakes
and sweats as he faces the corner,
Hiding
from the worst truth ...
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";color:windowtext;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>Too
late, Hebron! I am naked in your sun;
Your light is gone and you shiver in my huge shadow,
Shiver and quake in the knowledge of your sin -
So ignorant, so eager,
You let me in.
Invited me in.
Begged me ...
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";color:windowtext;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>'Take
Me!'
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";color:windowtext;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>And
I did.
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";color:windowtext;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>Oh,
I did.
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";color:windowtext;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>~
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";color:windowtext;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>Do
you hope for a peep through a window,
To daylight? Hope?
Sometime when I am not looking?
A spark of light, perhaps, piercing the blackness,
Sometime when I am asleep?
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";color:windowtext;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>Forget
it.
You will have
Nothing.
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";color:windowtext;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>I
am always looking.
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";color:windowtext;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>I
never sleep.
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";color:windowtext;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>You
are guilty forever, 'Eager-and-Ignorant';
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";color:windowtext;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>Your
reward for one greedy mistake?
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";color:windowtext;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>You
will die of Shame.
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";color:windowtext;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>~
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";color:windowtext;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>The
colours of pain provide my feast, but, oh!
Guilt is my delicious favourite.
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";color:windowtext;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>'Take
Me ...!'
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";color:windowtext;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>'Take
Me ...!'
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";color:windowtext;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>'Take
Me ...!'
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";color:windowtext;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>Hear
the Bell, Hebron? Isn't it clear?
Does it shake you to the marrow in your bones?
I can 'see' that it does ...
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";color:windowtext;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>I
was hungry;
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";color:windowtext;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>The
bell calls you to dinner.
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";color:windowtext;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>~
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";color:windowtext;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>'Take
Me!' you said, so I did and I will.
Mouthful by mouthful, I will eat up your soul.
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";color:windowtext;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>Fill
my stomach with your heart.
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";color:windowtext;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>Slake
my thirst with your sweat.
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";color:windowtext;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>Wreck
my passion with your body.
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";color:windowtext;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>I
will destroy you.
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";color:windowtext;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>~
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";color:windowtext;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>You
ask me why. Why all this,
Why do I hate you so?
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";color:windowtext;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>I
don't hate you, Hebron.
I don't hate anyone, except Teal'c;
For him I reserve all my very special efforts.
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";color:windowtext;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>Not
you; you are not worthy of them.
Pity Teal'c, and be grateful.
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";color:windowtext;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>I
do all this to you, because I can.
Just because I can.
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";color:windowtext;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>You
were willing to take the risk,
Foolish ant;
Willing to sacrifice yourself - if it came to that -
To the Tok’ra cause.
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";color:windowtext;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>It
has come to that. Do it.
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";color:windowtext;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>Sacrifice
yourself.
Justify your meager existence, Hebron.
I am hungry.
style='font-family:"Times New Roman";color:windowtext;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>Give
me something ...
Delicious!
... to gnaw on.
