Only Pieces (NEW CHARACTER)

I see a man in my mind
A man who lives in the realm where dreams go to die
Where you go to sleep and you don't wake up
That land filled with smoke and buildings brought to ash
Walking through pain every moment because the very air is burning flames
His skin is torn like he was beat with barbed wire
Flesh falls on the ground and is smashed with dragging feet
Crying blood that runs black against a face covered in contrition
Eyes moist like the ocean lay behind his mind
Seeing the past at all times
His hands are televisions that only replay the mishaps
Looking down into them he can't but remember
That it was by these hands he helped slay the innocent
His heart beats on his sleeve and it is worn there for all to see
That guilt is a killer because it only pumps in sad increments
Clothed in shame his robe is black from years of funeral pyres
Feet calloused from all the teeth he's kicked in
What was this man before turning to such a dreadful sight?
This man is the other half of the monster
The Bruce Banner to his Hulk
The hunter to the werewolf
The monster to his Frankenstein
No name just incomplete
It is only when the facts are put in place does his skin grow back
Ageless through time he is already dead
But to bring him back to life takes the forgiveness of others
Risen out of the rubble the boy saw a hand coming from the debris
Pulling him up he knew that this was his protector from all those year before
A perfect child he could never forget a loving face
Especially for the fact that he created this man and breathed life into him
So this is what the beast became after the battles ended and I went to sleep
A shell of a man falling apart like melting snow on the moutain
Visions of the frame that is driven through who's fingers now type this appear
Shell within a shell how is that for irony?
Put my pieces together, gather them back from those I left them in
Every time you killed a part of me was left 
And every time you struck that blow I died a little inside
For if you don't this is what will happen
The beast will live forever and the monster will drive the shell in mans reality
Life as we know it will be lost so gather me back together
This is how we bridge the gap and make everything right
This is how you live with yourself by making all things right
Perfection is coming and this is how it's so
Take back all the beatings you gave and I'll be healed all in order that
I will disappear for all time and you'll finally love youself
Now the pull and tug begins on the boy
Because in this creature are two beings who both want different things
The broken wants to die but the beast wants to live eternally
Sort this one out it will take more then a day
But I'm glad this character appeared in order that we can see some potential outcomes
