In that dark time
coldest before dawn
did you dream of me?
I the cat who hurt you?

You are as frail as falling leaves
or the whisper of a summer breeze.

Eyes like a starless night
Show love? Yet also fright?

You held your ground, standing tall,
your perfect frame.
You reached out to me,
and I knew it was right
and melted in your enticing embrace.

I felt your heart race, or was it mine?
As our lips touched in the lightest of kisses.
I was the artist painting that final gentle stroke.

Ours was a passion that could never be contained,
and my dread at the thought of losing you forced my hand;
please forgive me for my terrible deed.

You were too delicate, too perfect to wear those harsh cold shackles,
so I bound you with the softest spiders silk.

I will never forget the terror I saw in your eyes
at once pleading, questioning, uncomprehending,
now dull and resigned, downcast and hopeless.

I have created this prison for you, love of mine
and share it with you every moment of the day
and the long dark nights.

And so you have stayed and been these long years;
my prize that I can no longer take joy in,
my perfect love I can no longer bring myself to hold.

You may go now.
Come, let me loose your bonds.
Yes, caress the scars: there, soothing, isn't it?
Why, you're trembling …
Are you cold?
Not afraid, surely?
You're free now.
Here, let me hold you one last time, wipe the tear from your cheek.
Your are cold, I hold you tighter, then pull back.
I can see the question in your eyes: why now? Why now after so long?
It is time, that's all, time for you to go home.

There's the door;
stand and walk toward it;
I shan't stop you, and no one else will
There is no lock; it will freely let you pass.
See, it opens willingly.
Now pass through, I will not follow

I turn to watch the moon framed by stars
and then you walk away, still unsure, till you disappear into darkness…

Well how was that? Review? Constructively Criticise? Compliment? Flame if you really want to!

Well actually... please don't flame, but... yeah...
