Love is Faith, Sev

By Phoenixburning16

       

My life, for which you bravely fought
And into darkness fell
This world that spins you in its thought
Farewell

We who stood like kings of stone
Our walls built high and strong
We who thought we were alone
Thought wrong

Like swimmers who do choke their art
I clung to your every flaw
At first you had a frozen heart
Spring thaw

I, for whom love had not come
Felt quicken in my blood
A tender feeling rise to thrum
Spring flood

Hands long-fingered, strong and pale
That clutched a bow with skill
Coaxed the strings to sing a scale
At will

And there I stood, my gaze entranced
Upon a dying sun
And you, upon me, took a chance
And won

Dark was the night I hold to heart
Soft whispers voiced our love
As where to meet if we should part
Above

But still the battle smoldered on
My innocence a shard
I was too broken to remain
Unmarred

Your eyes that bore and blazed with fire
Informed of my defeat
You were too broken to require
Deceit

My life, for which you bravely fought
And into darkness fell
My one, my only caring thought
Farewell
