Past branded in my skin
But the scars go much deeper in
My future is part of a past of pain
Even free I'm bound in chain
Even with his heart ripped out
It is my own heart I feel without
His dark vines twine around my trust
His lies eat at my mind like rust
But in the dark there is one spot of flame
The feral wolf in me only she can tame
Her eyes can be like soft blue skies
Or jagged ice should the need arise
Her hair is a like the deepest night
But it balances out her fiery light
That rises for deep within her soul
So much love it makes me feel whole
It makes me complete instead of shards
My secrets, love, and past she guards
As I look I see her grief
I thought she would feel relief
I walked away to protect us both
For I had made a solemn oath
She is everything to me
I will protect her, never flee
Better a blade inside my chest
Then in her heart and laid to rest
Everything I touch is broken
Better to leave my love unspoken
