"Shackles"

The shackles that bind and secure his heart

Can only be broken by an act supplied

By the laws of fate and love. It's impossible.

His dangerous inner demons have demanded release

From the depths of the coldest and darkest places

Of his soul. She felt the struggle he held

With himself, and knew of the heartache that dwelled

Within. One lost look between orbs of chocolate

And steel raised the shadow from his life.

Her eyes held the emotion the shattered

Boy required to cut his restraints and become who

He was never meant to be. She, the known enemy

Forgave his sins so he could fly at last.

A/N: Just a little something I wrote for English class. I like how it turned out, so I hope you all do too. Review if you feel so inclined.
