When I first saw him

It was love at first sight

His voice was gentle

He was just right

He promised me he would keep me safe

He promised me he would love me all my life

I gave everything to him

But in return he gave me strife

Our kits, they drowned in the river

My heart broke in two

He yelled at me and told me it was my fault

He left! And now I'm blue

Revenge was the only thing I thought

I wanted to make him pay

Though under all the pain and anger

I felt something else that day

Forgiveness, could it be?

Grace for the things he's done?

Should I just forget it?

And punish him none?

Never!

He must be charged

I had a plan

A plan that was large

I tried to kill him

And kill his mate as well

I tried to kill the kits

But there's something I must tell

I died that day

In a fight for revenge

But my name isn't forgotten

No, it makes the bravest cat cringe

Now I haunt the Dark Forest

I am training his kin

Even though I lost that day

Some day, I will win!
