I see her right there and I watch her chest rise

I see it fall quickly in fearsome ire at golden eyes

I know it's there festering in her head

Her eyes are wide and frozen on the fight

Her heart beats sporadically

Like a drummer boy off beat

Like the waved crashing down on the sea

All because of me

I don't think I'll ever forgive myself

So many mistakes I've made

I loved her then crushed her

And I'll love her forever

But sometimes love isn't enough

Sometimes fear overrides the fluff

I know one day she'll run

When it has all become too much

And if she runs away

I will never follow

Whatever makes her happy I'll have to swallow

If she falls into mortal arms I'll leave her be

If she screams bloody murder I know it's because of me

And I know that it's all my fault but I cannot bear the thought

But if she stops loving me I'll leave her alone

I'll wait for her to come back home

I will not smile, nor be happy or free

Even though I told her that as long as she's happy I'm pleased

And the fighting is close to over

The dance is a dream

The fire swirls around her head as I lunge and she screams

And the dance is at a close

And the fire is disconnected

And new flames arise

The enemy is dead

I don't look at my love till it's over

And finally I look

And she's holding the stone

Against her perfect wrist

Like the sacrificing wife

And I hold her close and she cries

And I know she never deserved this life
