Confessions of a Scarred Prince

I hate how beautiful you are

How my fire barely compares

To the passion you harbor.

And when I burn, you only smolder,

A gentle flame in the curve of

Your green colored eye.

What could I possibly offer

To the alter of your soul

That would satisfy?

I deal in scars and demons

That haunt my waking hours.

And you seem my solace in

This solitary steel cage.

But if you don't return the

Affection I have, it's a life I can

Live with.

You owe me nothing.

This is the only kind of love

that I have ever known

to exist in this world
