you're like an untamable lioness

but you're learning to purr

such a fierce and ferocious and fighting heart

hidden in such tiny framework

you move with such delicate grace

but also with such deadly swiftness

 

oh, how many times I have died

laying in your naked bosom 

and by your knife in my side much more

Oh, such sweet and painful death

I will bear these scars for you

I will hold you still in my arms

though yours may yet slay me

 

your name burns in my heart

like an undying lantern

and my love for you cannot be quenched

I will die at your side

and by your hands

until my dying breath has passed

no, I will never leave you

there is no one in this life for me but you

and I will learn to take it as it comes

 

but god damn if it don't come

like a fiery tidal wave

and a piercing spear

and like slowly suffocating

relentless and exact

 

but I will be your steady anchor

and I will gently pull you back

into bloodied and loving arms

and with a beating broken heart

I will draw near to you again

with kind words and gentle affections

I will whisper love to you

in words only your heart can hear

and I will learn to love you once again

like an all consuming fire

and my life will ever be its fuel

and your heart melted by the flames
