Our Saving Love

Our story is nothing more than a tragic fairy tale

That blossomed and began from the first time I saw you

And thought you were an angel

You sent me an innocent smile not recognizing that at that moment

I would do anything to keep you happy and safe from harm

The truth of this must have been overwhelming to you

Since our love was the most forbidden of all

As our secret love became more difficuilt to hide

I feared above of all of losing you

Haunted by my nightmares

And our moments that were a precious few

You were all I had to hold onto

Fighting against this only caused me to destroy all those I held dear

I saw no other way to save you than through seeking power

When you refused to follow me down into the path of my own darkness

It was not I or our love in the end that killed you

But you yourself caused by your broken heart

Soon I followed down your same path

Becoming a mindless evil shell of my former old self

Disguising the good person I had once been for you

And which you continued to believe was still present until death

But if evil can love than what is evil?

Behind my mask you still remained my last thread of humanity

For just as I died trying to save you from death

So did you die trying to save me from myself

Our love plunged us into darkness

And our love became our saving light

That in the end brought us back into each other's arms.
