An Oath Sworn in Sorrow

Draw your sword Look me in the eyes We were born for this moment But the memories cloud my mind Of all that we have done I swore I would protect you But what have you become? From the moment our hearts began beating This gap would be filled Preordained assassination of the crippled mind Lost in an ancient sea of time As whirlwinds dance on paths once trod By beings vast, alone we stood And waited for it all to end Could you not see? You were always there by my side The comfort of my very being The monster you are has me blind I want to let you walk away but I boil inside For your faults you shall fall Reluctant beating slows you to a crawl The whistling sound of steel Sliding against your dry flesh Proved to be my final and ultimate test As the blade retracts so too do my tears fall Heavily, I sob I'll always wear you on my sleeve A reminder of my undying love for you Until my dying day, I'll carry your memory Within the walls of my mind, you live forever on.
