(no subject)
a vow upon my honor
never to rest my lips
where so has another
or carelessly let my feathers fall
trespass unforgiven
a sin against innocence
their crime, my murder
a kingdom to a ruler
to crumble beneath her follies
sacrifice to beget solace
knight to her table
and shade to her sleep
that may bring dreams of suitors
humble myself to heighten others
to rot forgotten
without amends or thanks
a memory never repeated
a comfort never considered
her carelessness wrought my defeat
live with sin
her portrait my mirror
to bare the shame and suffering
a token only given
grace not blemished by taking
I
the walking armor
the crestfallen lover
who charted criss crossed stars
and penned maps by star light
and deceitful compass
take the blame and weight
lead others from their stray
and starve upon their beaten path
where laid rose petals to save them
face saved
and grace faked
but I will for Ever bare witness
to her two face hidden
traitor to punish traitor
fated pain
by her own hand
and told by my pen
never to rest my lips
where so has another
or carelessly let my feathers fall
trespass unforgiven
a sin against innocence
their crime, my murder
a kingdom to a ruler
to crumble beneath her follies
sacrifice to beget solace
knight to her table
and shade to her sleep
that may bring dreams of suitors
humble myself to heighten others
to rot forgotten
without amends or thanks
a memory never repeated
a comfort never considered
her carelessness wrought my defeat
live with sin
her portrait my mirror
to bare the shame and suffering
a token only given
grace not blemished by taking
I
the walking armor
the crestfallen lover
who charted criss crossed stars
and penned maps by star light
and deceitful compass
take the blame and weight
lead others from their stray
and starve upon their beaten path
where laid rose petals to save them
face saved
and grace faked
but I will for Ever bare witness
to her two face hidden
traitor to punish traitor
fated pain
