Your feelings are as true for me
As any rebel's sin.
A love like this was meant to be,
Yet colored from within.
The sky, the stars, the moon I gave,
And soon you had them all.
I tried from you your soul to save,
And so I wait in thrall.
Your vanity may hold some truth;
A child you are not.
Yet tapped your tongue against your tooth
Has sentenced me to rot.
A tainted heart I stole to thee,
As tainted be it mine.
More stains and scars that now I see
Were gifted me from thine.
Sweet memories of caring hands
That held me through the night,
Betray me through these darker lands;
I whisper calls to light.
An innocent, I held you pure,
Your treachery excused.
The mastery that I endured
For care of you, abused.
A border through my heart you built;
You pinned me to the wall,
So caught between the hold of guilt,
So held by timeless call.
A stitch you stretched in true love's seams
When have you I could not.
So in my head you planted scenes
And mine you were in thought.
But time you froze from mighty throne;
This future did not come.
So then revealed, your true light shone,
And thus we reached the sum.
A heart I gave, a heart to hold,
A heart that you could break.
For love my shredded heart was sold,
And thus I did forsake.
