My happiness gone.

My life a web of lies.

No victory will rise from the ashes.

Tears burning me.

Crying inside but I won't let it out.

I won't show them how weak I have become.

I used to dance.

Dancing all around on my horse.

I was so free then.

Now I am not.

Freedom is beyond reach.

I am trapped by this evil I have become.

But I can not,

I will not let it go.

No I won't.

This evil is part of me now.

Even though it is the reason my happiness is beyond reach,

it is the reason I have power.

It is what makes me who I am.

For that I will not take the evil away.

Because to do that I would have to take my heart away.

Because this evil is part of me.

I refuse to let it go.

Just keep it close to me.

Because when it is gone so is my soul.
