The questioning intensity lingering behind the anger and pain
Your blood shot eyes burning deep into my very being
The soft white hands griped in frustration
Tears of crimson drip from open wounds
The white linen of bandages
Died crimson by tears
The chains of the past
Holding you down in the present
The golden bands on hands and feet
I am sorry, that you suffer
No one trust you after what you've done
You had signed you name with the devil
The devil that stole all of our lives away
The princess, her throne
The innocent one, her love
The quick one, his family
The smart one, his past
The angry one, his destiny
And me, my freedom
Trembling hands
Change the crimson linens
Not from fear do they tremble
Of knowledge of the truth
The truth of your live
The truth that only I know
The truth that you told me
I know
He tricked you
Like all the others
Took you away
When all you knew was hate
Hate for the ones who stole her away
The one you loved
The one you call to in your sleep
The one who died long ago
He stole you away, the devil
Giving you reason to do his bidding
You killed by his word
Letting none get in your way
Speed, knowledge, anger
All your tools
You used their strengths against them
But now
Innocence you cry
But only I hear
For I knew you before
Before all was wrong and right
When the world was young and new
For me the world was only you
My brother in fear
Fear that someone would find your secret
The orphan in the woods
The one you cared for
The only one who calmed the hate
You treated me kindly
But no one was to know
It was a secret
I was to be free
Free from devils grasp
You taught
Of the love of friends
Of the world around me
Of the devil and the ones who fought him
You taught me right and wrong
But then devil took you away
Changing your mind with threats
Causing you to leave your little sister
The one you loved so dearly
I found them then
The ones you fought
The ones you taught where in the right
The ones you said to flee to
In case you went to the devil
One of the fighters for freedom
The ones against the devil, and you
Oh how it broke my heart to see you
Eyes clouded over in hate
They do not know that I knew you
I kept my promise
Not to tell a living soul
Of the days when I was young
It tortured me still, to be so close
And yet so fair from helping you
You in pain and me a healer
But no help I could give
Until the day you broke free
The day you came to the fighters
Broken and wounded
Tears of crimson falling
Then I could heal you
My dark shadow
The shadow now here with me
Prisoner and yet free
The bandages hold, but you are gone
Asleep in some dream
Soft breathing
Rising and falling
The red streaks highlighted against the black clothing
Golden bracelets around hands and feet
Highlighting your past
Holding you from moving on
The brisk voice of one behind
The smart one calling
Fearing that you may hurt me
But I know you won't
We now wait for their judgment
Whether you join or stay prisoner
Ether way you are free
Free from the devils grasp
And soon no more secrets
For years I've hidden
Kept our secret
The secret of the past
But now we are together again
Now you can hold me in light
Soon the enemies will be friends
And the devil the enemy
Soon we will be one family
My first since long ago
