Dark and quiet

Shadows dance across the floor

Waiting for him

Watching for her

Crimson and quick

Drops fall to the floor

Calling to him

Looking to her

Lace and leather

Whispers drift across the room

Luring him in

Casting her out

Button and lapel

Breath slip across the room

Watching for him

Waiting for her

Steel and flesh

Wounds appear in a flash

Missing his heart

Piercing her soul

Amber and curls

Eyes search the shadows

Searching for him

Aching for her

Chestnut and stubble

Hands search the shadows

Touching his soul

Reaching her soul

I see

The assassins have failed

I see

The rebels have won

I see

The future is ours

I see

Our choice is forever
