Warrioress
You've blown me apart
Sifted through the pieces
Until you know me inside and out.
I've been carefully reassembled,
But I only stay complete with you.
You compliment me, challenge me;
The catalyst for who I am and will be.
Your fire blazed into my center at the first-
You purified me,
Forcing light into an absolute darkness.
You hurt me, over and over,
Each time healing me stronger.
You never gave up, did you?
Strange, to remember how we fought
This, each other,
This world we wanted fixed.
I saw you battle ridiculous odds and immovable objects
(Not the least of which was me)
And win.
How?
How can one such as you-
Weak- fragile- emotional-
Batter down mountains alone and defeat Emperors?
When did you become strong?
Where did you learn my soul?
I didn't want this tether you'd attached to me.
How could you dare to bind a Prince?
This bond cripples and weakens,
It creates feeling where there should be void.
Emotion is unsuitable for a warrior,
And you were inappropriate for one such as I.
You jerked me back from the edge.
Tore me away from self destruction.
You battered me, confused me,
Drowned me in your presence.
Fascinating me, driving me, unsettling me,
A whirling, shimmering creature of lapis and mercury.
I left you- I, who had never fled before-
Terrified of what was growing.
I tried to think only of what I had been;
Night, blood and battle.
My perfect truth had shattered
I resented it, blamed you for my flaw
Tried with all my will to force you away.
But there remained a cord.
Despite my best efforts you've joined us,
Entwined my heart and yours past repair.
To leave you now would be to destroy my life.
You are my life, and my soul,
Interconnected past death.
My objections?
They die silently in the glow of your eyes,
And so I surrender myself to you.
And I accept it, for this is more than anything I have ever known.
You are more than anything I have ever wished for.
And you are wonder-
And you are beauty-
And you are glory-
And you are mine.
I am yours. Forever.
